Great review. Like FS, you covered all the bases, and you didn't forget the less-than-spectacular bits either (i.e., every single alien race). I'm myself puzzled by FS's central riddle: not why the suns are fading, but rather why, given the setting is so eclectic, FS doesn't fall apart. Because, as you say, it simply doesn't--for some reason, FS is a game world with a marvellously consistent feel, namely, Dune Plus X. By rights, that shouldn't work, but it does.
