The Cinematic trailer alluded to this being an alternate timeline, one seen by Paul in visions but in which he was never born. Bums me to say it but a dev video mentioned there was no worm riding. Fingers crossed it's something that can be added in future expansions if succesfull. Still a day one buy from me, I wanna support the team.

[@CryingCreeperMLG]

If people could play a Fremen, they'd want worm-riding. It's important to remember that since this is an MMO, playable Fremen and worm riding will probably be something we can do in the game in the games first one or two expansions. They need to keep something to pull players back in when they inevitably play as much as they want then leave.

Love everything.. except for one small detail, which is important in the character creation and the narrative of NOT being Paul.

Since our character isn't the chosen one, the box makes no sense.

As to your point about "snowflakes (wanting) 'someone like them,'" Dude, why do you think character creators exist in the first place? It's an emersion tool. You are literally creating your avatar that is a digital representation of you or a character you are playing as. There's nothing 'snowflake' about it, it's one of the oldest traditions in gaming. Your lack of understanding about something this basic is why I stated I was uncertain about your age or gaming experience on top of your lack of caution toward obvious red-flags that this game will not be all they promise it will be.

Probably worth a mention that XX and XY aren't full reliable to go by even in reality, there's a few variations that make these irrelevant due to specific genetic factors.

​@@wearegeekoclock false, abnormalities are irrelevant, even intersex involves at least some typically male/female biological sex features.

[@Yoni123]

3:20 not sure I like that. It sounds like you can become great at everything which is something many modern games do (Skyrim) . I'd rather see a system where you specialize (Morrowind)

Seem like a good start, looking forward for more. Just don't forget about conan exiles for everyone. I still love that game and will find time for both.

[@MilesTeg_cy]

Needs a lot of work. Very basic customisation options. I was expecting more tbh. I hope the rest of the game won't be shortcomming as this part.

[@thestrangergamer]

I agree. Needs a ton of more options. They need to take a look at dragons dogmas CC

[@LCInfantry]

They said the game is a cross between Planetside 2 and Ark Survival… so the gameplay should well make up for the quick customization

[@MilesTeg_cy]

@@LCInfantry Then why waste time on vitiligo and not more actual customisation options? Plus, ARK has a ton of customisation.

[@LCInfantry]

@@Billy-bc8pk Well the lack of character customization in Planetside 2 balances it out lol. If this game is anything near planetside 2 level of gameplay… trust me, you’re not going to really care what your character is shaped like. The armors probably will just cover everything up, making minute facial or body details not as important and not the focus of the gameplay experience or reason why you play with one hand.

I will officially buy this game already for the fact that you offer height options. I just hate it when games don't have them and when every character model is the exact same height. It's so immersion breaking for me.

Can we get 2 new maps and things like activation traps in Conan? Can we get more raid-able camps like the castle can we get an exiled lands expansion adding like 3-4 locations to explore. Can we fix the cheating, meshing and lag switchers for pvp. May we get better boob physics? How about lots more dlc content? Bosses? Craftables? How about letting people transfer characters again so I can have Siptah stuff on exiles? Like what about the Conan guys. Love the customization for ur new game tho really solid

My head canon is if the Bene Gesserit are going to use the protagonist as an agent to get information on the missing Fremen, they're gonna want to make sure you aren't Abomination before using you. And everyone in the imperium knows not to mess with or question the sisterhood.

[@dedark0il131]

@@austinharp7264 I see your point, but: 1) An "abomination" is a rather specific term. If I'm not wrong, its was only used by the Revered Mother Mohiam referring to Alia due to her having the menories of previous fremen Revered Mothers. So I suppose you mean that in this scene she tries to test whether the protagonist is "human" or not. 2) Still, this "human or not test" simply cannot be passed unless you have some special Bene Gesserit training. And the latter is not available to commoners.

You guys should pick up the copyright to make a Palladium Books universe MMO. like ALL their books. it would be the biggest game ever as it's a scale the size of the entire Marvel universe. hell ANY universe combined! it's written that way that it doesn't infringe on copyrights. start off with the Heroes unlimited, then add dimensions and time travel which would add EVERYTHING else. you could make Time and Dimension travel through "buying" the knowledge and devices or just paying a player to take you that can go themselves for internal economies and digital human trafficking.

not enough options for character creation. expand each section 10x larger. game doesn't make sense. if I am the hero, how the hell is everyone else also the hero? this is why you can't use established ip. it makes no fucking sense.

[@felixhaggblom7562]

Why I agree the editor seems pretty lackluster, that other critique doesn't really make sense. Have you played any other mmo? Ignoring the role of other players in the main story is kind of a basic thing all mmo games have to do. Do you think about the other players doing the same main story in SWOR? Most probably don't, its not a problem for most players. It will be the same with this game.

[@goblinphreak2132]

@@felixhaggblom7562 yes. ive played a lot of bad/shit mmorpgs which make you the hero instead of someone living in the world. it never makes sense. its a common mistake in mmorpg development and no one is learning the lesson. most current mmo gamers are chuds. intellectually void of anything worthwhile. there is a reason why the mmo genre is LOSING players year over year while every other genre is growing.... because the mmo formula is fucking broken and trash.

[@LordKasadoad]

I have to agree with guy above me, the second critique doesn’t make much sense. Tons of other MMOs do this like SWTOR, ESO, Destiny, and etc. The player is the hero, yet there tons of other players who also called the hero. The simple the explanation to this is that to the player, they are the main character, everyone else is pretty much a random who they encounter on their journey.
