I haven't read beyond the first Dune novel (although I plan to). Will this game spoiler anything from the novels or is it just a stand-alone story?

[GrimithR]

@MozartsGhost11 "Emperor: Battle for Dune" is a stand-alone story based on the Dune universe; it is non-canonical and has nothing to do with what's conveyed in any of the novels. My commentary might spoil a few things - I provide supplemental data about the many factions we encounter - but, as you've read the first Dune book, I don't think there's anything you should worry about.

I was really getting into the story right up till the little fighter jets with the flapping wings appeared. I don't think I'll be able to take this game seriously anymore.

[GrimithR]

@joemamaUSA You're looking at least twelve thousand years into the future. There's no telling what crazy shit humanity will drive. One day, a descendant of mine may drive what appears to look like an armored platypus.

All hail Emperor Grim! £_+

@RebirthWoWGuild Yeah! Stop picking on our Great and Glorious Grimsy's Grammar and go get 'born again' man! O_o

[SuperMegaCyrus]

the spoice must flow

[GrimithR]

@rey9006 I can't say I know anyone who feels the way you do about the affair. Different stories based upon the same universe happen regularly. Nothing weird for me.

[rey9006]

@GrimithR yeah, but it's based on Arrakis in the Dune universe... i mean, i guess you can't really set it after Dune with all the characters alive... *shrug* just really weird.

[GrimithR]

@rey9006 Because... the game's obviously telling a different story?

[rey9006]

what... who are these characters... i know who they're based off of, but why use different names?

[GrimithR]

@SnixTruth A card? No, heaven forbid I actually go old school and write down something.
