Yeah so I figured a Dune based variant would be pretty sick, (Preferably not a TOME spinoff, I prefer Z)
It could be based on the 6 novels (and the 6 by Brian Herbert), and things could be mixed up a bit so you get more stuff
The final fight could be maybe Leto the Tyrant, with Duncan Idaho, guard of Leto as the floor 99 boss
There could be many races, like freemen, harkonnen, atreides, ixian, tleilaxu, face dancer (who could have some special abilities to mimic enemies), gholas, etc
There is also many possibilities for classes, and in this variant the sex WOULD influence your choice of class, as Bene Gesserit, Honored Matres and Fish Speakers could only be females
Warrior/Fighter
Fremen fighter (as they are somewhat different, though something should be changed so it's not confused with Fremen itself, they could get the ability to ride sandworms)
Suk Doctor
Mentat
Bene Gesserit
Honored Matre
Fish Speaker
Many monsters and uniques could be in it, for example a battle with a sandworm could be pretty epic
Items wouldn't be hard to figure out either, and to be really like the book we could add things like
Shield aggravating sandworms
Shield-Lasgun reaction creating a big explosion (dealing huge damage to monsters all around AND to the player/monster that was shielded)
Also, pretty much all characters in the book (There really are many) could be unique monsters
I think it would be better just to mix all ages (The whole series spans on something like five thousand years) to get more content, even though it would be illogical to have Paullus atreides and Leto II in the same period of time (But who would notice anyways)
Finally, instead of a big world map, there could be several small maps with a few towns/dungeons and the possibility for space travel from a planet to the other
(Some world would be smaller than others, as Arrakis would probably have more content than say Ginaz)
So, yeah, basically that's it, the only problem is that I've never programmed a variant, but it would really be a cool project
