Spoiler:

What if... Paul Atreides had never been born.

But, sadly, without any Uatu narration.

Of course that means that the daughter of Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen and Paula Atreides is the Kwisatz Haderach.

What does the player have to do with anything?

No, a daughter couldn't be the Kwisatz Haderach, by definition. The intro video pretty much states that the cataclysmic events of the films/books have been averted by the absence of a Kwisatz Kaderach, so events are playing out without the fulfillment of the prophecy.

As for the player, they're just an insignificant schmuck who's a pawn in the conflict between the Great Houses who are vying for control of the planet.

Damn. Oops. I knew that.
