PS1/PS2 Always had a Dune feel.


To me anyways,

TR= Harkonnen; Emperor

NC= Atredies

VS = Fremen

Even down to the point that if it was possible for the NC to be destroyed (leadership equipment etc) I feel that most would side with the VS.

Due to Honor or mutual respect of 1s goals of freeing themselves from the grasp of the TR oppression.

Any agree or Disagree?

Never occured to me, but can't really see it aside from TR/NC colors.

SPOILER:

Cool point, though weren't the Atriedes and the Fremen allies in the end.

Sorta, duke Atredies took over Arrakis and threatened to send all the houses(planets) back to the digital age by destroying the spice makers and making Arrakis green again. So yes by prophecy they allied both the fremen and Atredies.


Really cant see it?

Look at the VS, they are an occult based on science, while the fremen have progressed past being human(as most knew it) through Spice and bene gesserit able to bend laws of physics with their weapons/martial combat and telepathic abilities(only a few yes).

Also, the bene gesserits used the past to figure out the future, they couldnt look into the future only the past(like VS tech).

There is still time. VS wouldn't be so bad if they pulled their heads outta their...research... and stopped being so damn crazy.

Re: PS1/PS2 Always had a Dune feel.


Nah, Atredies and Fremen were allies further on and joined to become one.

For me it has more of a Starship Troopers theme, although ofc there are'nt three factions.

Anyhoo

TR: peace-loving patriot who have to reclutantly leave their farms and pick up their guns to defend motherhood and apple-pie.

NC: Hopped up rambo's with a bandana, a greasy mullet and a dodgy tattoo

VS: The borg who will absorb anyone into the collective. Repeat after me "I am an individual"

Re: PS1/PS2 Always had a Dune feel.


I can also be silly and say....

TR: Imperium of Man
NC: Lost and Damned, Heretics
VS: Dark Eldar (too much purple for normal Eldar)

I have been tempted to make an outfit of ONLY heavy assaults on TR named the BLUHD RAHVENS, we go around stealing enemy weapons and vehicles (If they allow hijacking). We simply claim they were gifted to us. Plus the TR heavy armor looks space marine-ish and the colors are perfect for Blood Ravens.
