Never saw this one before. It's... something.

Somehow, I have this game buried somewhere deep in a desk drawer, in one of those bargain bin paper jewel cases. I have no memory of when or where I found it, only that I couldn't get it to run at the time and clearly that was a mercy.

Angle grinders would be too fast. Powered clamps perhaps? And gas. And lasgun mines or RC drones with lasguns.

That is something I was never clear on. Do shields impose a speed limit within a radius or only for transfer across a 'shell' barrier? If it is the latter then grenades on sticks but if it is the former then surely they would mess up a lot of biological processes and similar.

Shields only affect things impacting the shield shell.

How do you figure that? Feyd-Rautha is only a Harkonnen in name, his father is also Rabbans father and they were born on Lankiveil.

EDIT: To clarify my point a bit, don't Bill and Stellan look too similar?

I don't really think they look similar. More that Bill has a good combination of handsome, lanky and creepy.

That's a fair point, plus it's not as if makeup-artists can't work magic - so it'll probably be fine. And I'd much rather have Bill as Feyd than no Feyd.

I realize I'm stuck on the Scott Brick (solo version) audiobook characterization but the Duncan Idaho in my head is not Jason Momoa. It's just hard to imagine him as a professional soldier who takes orders and serves his Duke. If this were 1990 it would be like casting Mel Gibson in that role.

To me Idaho is a hero for sure but he's also someone who says, "Sir, yes sir" without a smirk on his face.

I would picture someone more like Gladiator-era Russell Crowe or Kevin McKidd from HBO's Rome.

Momoa strikes me as a better fit for the Duncan(s) of books 4-6, by which point he’s morphed into an all-action wiseass sex god and is thus basically a Jason Momoa character anyway. Idaho in the first book is almost nothing like even the depressive clone of books 2-3 let alone what the character eventually became.

I dunno, I re-read the chapter in Book 1 where Duncan comes in all drunk on spice beer and accuses Jessica of treachery and she slaps the poo poo out of him, and I can totally see Momoa acting the gently caress out of that scene.
