So somehow I completely missed the fact that Funcom is working on a Dune game based on Conan Exiles.

I had no interest in the later but I'm looking forward to screenshots of this new one

Quest: Bring 10 Harkonnen Heart Plugs to Jamis and be rewarded with a Crysknife of the Sands

Kills 8 Harkonnen Troopers, none drop Heart Plugs, checks Dunehead, only Harkonnen Palace Guards drop Heart Plugs

Kills 10 Harkonnen Palace Guards

Runs back to Jamis, turns in quest

"Return to me when you have proof you've slain 10 of those water-fat Harkonnen pigs!"

Checks inventory, sees 3 Heart Plugs and 7 Heart Plug Fragments. gently caress

Kills 32 more Harkonnen Palace Guards and gets 7 more Not hosed Up Heart Plugs, but not before getting killed twice because not looking for respawns and then ganked once by some loving Saudakar

Turns in quest, gets Crysknife of the Sands, stats are worse than Crysknife of the Scirocco I'm currently using
OR
WTF? Jamis is dead, some rear end in a top hat named "Muad'dib" is standing over him, and when I try to turn in the quest he just says in turn each time I try to turn it in, "I am Usul, base of the pillar", "I have given water for Jamis", and "Stop shoving that gross poo poo at me, do you know where those Heart Plugs have been? Hint: it's in the name!"

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.

it doesn't really come across but that was Herbert's idea for the character in Dune, a Flash Gordon-ish space hero who is not at the center of the action. I guess it demonstrates the Atreides strategy of attracting and promoting the best people by being conspicuously worthy of their service. The man was born a slave, for pete's sake. How do you even escape a planet as a non-noble in this universe?

This makes Duncan's role in the accursed books somewhat less of an rear end-pull if he's supposed to be some kind of Kimball Kinnison motherfucker. In the books he mostly just comes off as The Other Sworn Man (Not Thufir, Not Gurney)

Not sure if it helps that 'premium' is app store for phone games you actually buy and usually have no further in-app purchases.

Just realised the whole thing about the Atreides being 'actually be decent and likeable to attract the best people to your service' thing is basically a King Arthur and the Round Table dealio, and now picturing some kind of mashup. Def some Once and Future King themes, though maybe one where Arthur and Merlin are the same person.
