In Dune: Awakening, many players are currently discovering the new features of the “Chapter 2” update. A particular quest line is especially annoying to the players. They hope that in the end, they can take revenge for the torment.
Which quest line is it about? In Dune: Awakening, the “Chapter 2” update has introduced two new storylines with new quests. However, the main story, which expands the game narrative, is currently frustrating the players. They state that half of the tasks are unnecessary and that it feels like the quests could have been an email.

Back and Forth and Back Again
What bothers the players about the new quest line? While players were allowed to complete many different tasks in the first part of the main story and also had to infiltrate research stations or defeat enemies, this time players feel they have been degraded to errand boys.
In a cartoon on Reddit, players express their current mood. It feels to them as if the quest giver Elara Tuek is constantly sending them to the Hagga Basin and back to Harko Village. However, in Dune: Awakening, as seen in other quests, there are also long-range communication devices that could bridge such distances.
Players are annoyed by the tasks that bring them little enjoyment. However, they have a glimmer of hope in the comments.
What do the players say? Fans of Dune: Awakening hope to eventually punish the quest giver, who is always addressed as “Kitten” by their character. They want her to pay for turning their character into an errand boy. Players have written on Reddit:
- smartponi: “I hope the story leads to us killing her in the end. The Fenrings (both) – they are just mean and powerful. Lady Jessica? A ruthless witch with her own agenda. Ariste? Just young, okay. But this woman [Elara Tuek] really gets on my nerves.”
- Solus_Vael: “Thanks!!! I did the crap last night. Why can Ariste call us about things and we can contact contractors to finalize contracts, but I have to fly back and forth just to talk to this woman [Elara Tuek]…?”
- LookAlderaanPlaces: “I think the overworld map could be cool if they reduced the distances. Flying from Hagga to Arrakeen takes a whole minute. Couldn’t it just be 15 seconds instead?”
- ProlapseProvider: “I skipped the dialogue sections at some point. I hate the travel mini-map, it’s absolutely useless, as if there were plans for a mini-game like random encounters or something, but they were scrapped at the last minute.”
The big “Chapter 2” update was supposed to deliver many improvements and new content to the players, but they are not well received by the fans. It’s not just the new quests that are a problem that players criticize: The new DLC for Dune: Awakening has only 24 percent positive reviews on Steam, with players criticizing one particular thing
