Finally, after around 240 hours of playtime, I have completed the main storyline of Dune: Awakening. With a sense of relief, I can finally add it to my list of completed games and move on to something else.
After my previous Dune: Awakening post back in August, I got distracted by Diablo II: Resurrected, as well as increasing pressures at work. For some reason, I rapidly lost interest in Dune: Awakening once I reached the endgame. By that point, I had constructed a large spice refinery, crafted a full set of endgame armour and weapons, and realised there wasn’t much left to do beyond finishing the storyline.
I am sure the Funcom developers have big plans for Dune: Awakening, but at the moment there isn’t much incentive to carry on playing once you reach the endgame. Up until that point, however, it really is an excellent game.
In my Part 2 post, I said I might include a walkthrough of my humble, box-like base, so I’ve made a short recording and posted it on YouTube. It’s really basic, but it has been my home, and I’ve enjoyed expanding it to suit my needs.
Now that I have completed the main story and will stop playing, I will be cancelling my xREALM private server. I should emphasise that this is only because I no longer need it; I’ve found xREALM to be excellent and would definitely recommend them, and use them again should the need arise.
Before I do, however, I will put some in-game items into storage, just in case I decide to play again. Having said that I believe that my character and all in-game items will be deleted once my private server is cancelled. But if I do return, it will most likely be with friends, and in that case I think it would make more sense to start over anyway.
