Character Customization

Character Customization allows players to personalize each of their characters' appearance, background and starting Archetype before they set out onto the harsh sands of Arrakis.

Appearance

Players are able to select from a wide variety of cosmetic customization options to create unique characters.

Players can always edit their character's appearance again at any time, via the Clinics in Settlements, for a 5,000 cost.

Game Options

Players can then configure:

• Their character's name
• Whether to skip the opening tutorial sequence
  • This option only appears if the player has completed the tutorial before
• Whether early-game items in the Research Menu are researchable from the start
  • By default, early-game items only become unlocked as players progress through the Journey Arc: A New Beginning.
  • Advanced players may prefer to have these early-game items obtainable immediately, allowing them to research a Sandbike right away, for example.

Dialogue

Reverend Mother: Where were you born?

Player selects "Chusuk". Reverend Mother: The music world? A grand center of the arts.
Player selects "Caladan". Reverend Mother: A world of water - homeworld of the Atreides.
Player selects "Kaitain". Reverend Mother: The heart of the Imperium - the heart of civilization.
Player selects "Ix". Reverend Mother: The Machine World - they skirt dangerously close to breaking the proscriptions of the Butlerian Jihad.

	Pyon	The vast peasant labor force that drives the Imperial engine. Pyons are bound to the fief in which they live and are considered the property of their Lord.	Pyon

Dialogue

Reverend Mother: The order of the Imperium is rooted in the Faufreluches. "A place for every man and every man in his place". Where is your place?
Player selects "Na-Familia". Reverend Mother: Did you give bad advice? Or make a bad deal? To be close to power is to walk the knife's edge.
Player selects "Bondsman". Reverend Mother: There is always work to be done... and millions like you to do it.
Player selects "Pyon". Reverend Mother: You've risen above your station. Most Pyons go their entire lives without seeing the inside of a starship.

Mentor

Dialogue

Reverend Mother: You had a mentor in your youth, trained by one of the schools. Who was your mentor?
Player selects "A Swordmaster". Reverend Mother: From the failed House of Ginaz, I assume? What a waste that whole affair was.
Player selects "A Bene Gesserit Acolyte". Reverend Mother: Yes, I have heard of our Sisters giving training outside of the chapterhouse. It is frowned upon.
Player selects "A Mentat". Reverend Mother: You must have been very young - the mind must be prepared or the training does not take.
Player selects "A Trooper". Reverend Mother: A House soldier? Retired with full honors, or a missing limb?
