Dont lump us all.in with that person, some of us were trying to actually play the game

The world isn't fair. Oddworld certainly isn't fair. We must all atone for our sins and accept responsibility for Asset98.

Dude, you guys used a script to find some photographs and it got someone painfully killed, do you really think anything is off limits at this stage?

:eek:

I din'd do nuthin

This will be too brutal. In Undertale players can choose
whether they want to go to a bad ending or not. It will be on their conscience. In Oddworld games you can just
accidentally skip some Mudokons because didn't even knew secret level was hidden in certain place.
Especially this will mean you never get good ending after that.

Yeah, I think you're right to a certain extent. In Undertale it mainly worked because the entire game was very meta and poked fun at video game clichés.

In all fairness, there wasn't much difference between us just refreshing the page until we found them, and using the script.

Regardless, this should definitely make it into the game as an Easter Egg.

edit: New page. And JayDee already made that joke. Dang.

Oh yeah, fair point. Maybe he was just tortured until he lost consciousness.

Not sure if anyone has pointed out the syringe/needle in the bottom right corner... It seems to have 3 finger holes. As Vykkers have 3 fingers, do you reckon we will see them in Soulstorm?

What if they make the Brewmaster a Vykker?

Exactly! See, much happier ending.

as long as we can rescue him eventually

Shade_Meadows 02-08-2017 03:40 PM

Well... Maybe he became a delicious Brew? or Pop?...
Or a Slog Chew Toy...
SORRY, Feeling kinda of dark today,

I was about to say that the Vykkers focus more on pharmaceuticals than food/drinks, but if Brew is as addictive as they say it is, then it could very well be a Vykker product, since they'd probably be able to develop a mixture that was as addicting as chemically possible.

I dunno, though, I just can't picture a Vykker barking orders at Sligs the way ol' Brewmaster did. They're pretty shrill.

Brewmaster could just be a figurehead or maybe he runs it all, while Vykkers did the actual creation of the brew we know today, messing around with the chemicals and ingredients and whatnot.

Manco 02-08-2017 03:52 PM

I always saw it that the Glukkons are the business people, while Vykkers are more of the lab workers. Although Vykkers run Vykkers Labs they could also work for Glukkon businesses as well – let’s face it, I doubt any Sligs are smart enough to be scientists.

Shade_Meadows 02-08-2017 03:58 PM

Sligs are just Adorable in their dumbness...
Also, makes a lot of sense for them to put one/many Vykkers scientists in the game, it fleshes out the universe and makes sense, the Glukkons paid top Moolah to help them make the BEST Brew ever, also would explain how they got the Greeters! (and the Vykkers lab station in FeeCo Depot would be in use)
;) hope we are right guys!

Need to? I think the final clear images are behind the solving of the grid puzzle.

Do I take it by this that we can still find the clear version of image 3? And its the plural there, images? more than one more to find?

Seems to me that a Vykker is more likely to be a surgeon than a brew developer. And to me it looked like that picture was a mud prepping for surgery - perhaps for eye-stitching - rather than being strapped in a tear extractor.

This is why making game where you can not correct your mistakes will not be fair. One dead character is enough for me.

Just letting anyone who cares know im quitting helping with this arg for now, iv lost sleep its been stressing me out , its crazy. I quit.

According to the OWI Facebook it turns out Ed isnt actually ded. Havent gone and looked for any tweets regarding this though

Varrok 02-09-2017 12:01 AM

Ed is alive.

In our hearts. The idea of Ed lives on.

Aw, sorry GlitterPanther :( I know you've been working really hard on the grid puzzle. Get some rest, I hope you feel better.

So did our actions directly cause this, or was it part of the narrative all along? Cuz if you guys just threw it in there that would be really cool.

Fun fact: Coca-Cola was invented as a medication against headaches and was only later produced as a soft drink. Oddworld has plenty of parallels with the real world, so its an interesting thought.

Well, I'm speechless... Harsh stuff.
Ed lost a friend...
"...he never came back. I could hear him screaming all night... helpless. they took him... he was my friend. how did they know?"

I know I'm a bit late on the topics, but do you think in the photo is Ed's friend that he mentioned he lost?

Pohatta 02-09-2017 07:41 AM

Does anyone think "they" might be testing a tear extractor on this mud? There's a lot of eye related imagery throughout this section of the ARG.

Wouldn't he be upside down like in Exoddus?

Xavier 02-09-2017 07:43 AM

The second picture is here!

The clean image has been uploaded and it is not Ed. The numbers on Eds chest are different from the one on the heart monitor.

Edit; Sorry Xavier, saw your post after I wrote this.

Sometimes one must be sacrificed for the sake of the others v.v,

Didn't Ed just "technically" say he lost his friend? Confirming that he is dead? I mean, there's gotta be a reason he said "Aaaarrrggghhhh!" earlier, be weird if the schmuck said that by stabbing his toe or something.

That's what I was thinking as well, in Exoddus, the Tear Extractors were machines that held a mud upside down so the tears can drop thanks to gravity.

Also, the miners for the bones were blind muds, meaning their eyes were stitched and before they were, at one point, abless to see.

Gah, when's the image coming?? xD

I have no idea what you mean... maybe SO1029 can shed some light on what happened later.

That is a fact. Not sure how "fun" it is though ;)
