Mahdi Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 Of course, no one bothered to tell the good Doctor that his idea's were going to be used in Dune 2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 Orlok: Â No doubt about that, but they did switch thigns around a bit. Â In the DE, the Ordos crest was two crossed bones, with ivy hanging from one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orlok Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Well, ive only had a fleeting look at the DE and remember the atreides and harkonen shield were identical, but I dont remember the ordos shield, just that theyre in there.And did Dr McN really not know?I guess if the art was inspired by it and not actually copied from the book then.....rgdsLoK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Nope, he said he didn't know in that Q&A I had with him, what, a year ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 It still be would be nice to see Dr. McNelly write a novel for Dune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Well, ive only had a fleeting look at the DE and remember the atreides and harkonen shield were identical, but I dont remember the ordos shield, just that theyre in there.The Atreides had a red hawks head ona black background, surrounded by two crossed green olive branches (like the roman headgear ;)).The Harkonnens had a blue ram's head on a white background (that's why the Hark symbol is a ram in the games. Â In the prequels, they say it's a griffin, but I thought I remembered hearing about a ram in the original books).The Ordos symbol (the snake and gold book) from the games is actually the symbol of House Wallach (from the DE) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 The Logo's changes much in the games. If you compare dune 1 2 and bfd logo's with each other all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 The crests themselves change, yes. Â But the main "theme" stays the same. Â Atreides are always represented by a blue hawk (save the Cryo Dune, where it was red, and the Harkonnens were blue). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 McNelly was writing a Butlerian Jihad novel, he had 3 chapters done when Herbert died. Â In teh early nintties he tried to get Brian Herbert to finish it iwth him, but it never happened.Jeez, don't you guys ever read my itnerviews?!You'd better read this one with Anderson, it is great!

FeydRauttah Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Â Â Â Paul, Are you sure the Ordos are mentioned in this very book? Â Â Â I don't remember anything specific about houses in it. (But then I don't remember my Granpa's birthday either.) Â Â Â If we have been using different versions of the book, can you post the quote, with which the chapter (where Ordos are mentioned) starts? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
