Hmmm...if the dam blocks the way for Gabbits to breed, then that means Gabbits became extinct faster than they usually would under mere predation from Glukkons.
I presume Gabbits only inhabit/inhabited seas around Mudos, as otherwise more, larger rivers from other continents could be possible spawn sites also.
If Stranger stays with the Grubbs for longer, and learns more about them, maybe he wouldn't be *quite* as intimidated by Abe's connection to nature. But Mudokons are far more spiritual and connected to nature than the Grubbs. Mudokons live with the environment, while grubbs live more off of it, but in a sensible manner. perhaps, since these Grubbs had their environment and pretty much whole culture destroyed by Secto, they were more in tune with nature beforehand, more so than the ones seen in SW.
Abe and the other Mudokons could take Lulu's airship to Ma Spa, drop off Munch, and then go elsewhere.
I presume the Gabbiar eggs are fertilized, otherwise there would be inbreeding. Perhaps Gabbits don't spawn like fish, but mate before laying the eggs? After mating, they feel an urge to go and lay the eggs in Ma Spa. I'm theorising here, though.
I presume no animals like Scrabs or suchlike were introduced in SW because the water resource was unavailable, meaning animal life was impossible, apart from the very small ones that can perhaps obtain water from their food sources or suchlike (Live Ammo species are the only realy animals found in the wilds of SW).

I am imposing that when you mean animals, you mean wildlife. But you are wrong my friend, there are wild Slegs in SW that happen to be fully alive. In fact, there is quite a bit a water source around the place. Like the lake that Stranger swims across in the beginning.

I think that the Gabbit eggs are not fertilized, then that means there probably would be Gabbits by now. But maybe since they are under cool temperatures, that would mean that the eggs wouldn't grow as fast as they would. Maybe Xavier or Max can clear things up a little bit.

Is SW a good game I mean like the other oddworld games is it something like them?

I didn't know there were wild Slegs. Well, apart from that there's not alot then. No Scrabs or anything, even though Scrabs are meant to live in desert environments.

If the gabbit eggs aren't fertilised, then isn't Munch screwed anyway because, as was said earlier, there'd be inbreeding? And I'd think OWI wouldn't be SO utterly stupid as to not realise that. So they must be.

I think this question belongs in the Q and A section, but yes. it is a fun game, but altogether different from the "save mudokons and Fuzzles" idea. it's more of a first/third person shooter.

If you have further questions I'd put them into the Oddworld Q and A thread.

I think we can be sure that scrabs go unhindered when water in in short supply.

Slegs are wild creatures. Hardy Outlaws might call them pets, but Slegs are undomesticable.

I just want to add...Don't the wolvarks throw slegs at you shouting words 'get him' or something like that. Doesnt that show some kind pet type thing? Or they slogs?

If Gabbits are like fish, then inbreeding wouldn't really matter. Inbreeding affects certain kinds of animals, like humans and cats. But fishs' genes are a bit different, causing the disturbition of genes to be a little different. So in theory, I don't think it really matters if the eggs are fertilized or not, the species will live on.

...I didn't know that. Shows me something.

I was led to believe that Slegs were specifically bred versions of Slogs...is it the other way round now or something?
Apparently Slegs dissappear in SW when they bite you.

The models are clearly Slegs, but I’m convinced they were meant to be Slogs. Contrast how easily it would have been to rename Sloghandlers to Sleghandlers with how much harder it would have been to add an extra model.

They’re closely related but separate species. Think domestic dogs and coyotes.

whee!
 

Abe meeting Stranger wouldn't be very fun, but Stranger getting the bounty on Abe. That might be interesting. Or Abe, following stranger into some...some thing? The first idea was better, it might be interesting being Stranger and having to get through all Abe's buddies...

I finaly got The Art of Oddworld and study that map.

Isnt canned gabbiar a product of the Vykkers Conglamoration rather than the Magog Cartel?

you cant see were stranger is on the muddos map so how do we even know he is on that country/island?Even if he is he was probaly before Munch/Abe
time cus ive got sw and mo and in mo the sligs have got lazer gun things and the outlaws in sw have rifel's and stranger him self has a crossbow.
also its prety obvious tht sw is in the cowboy erra and Munch/Abe games arnt.

although if stranger doesnt live in muddos he could live some were else of the map in the same erra as munch/abe but were he lives isnt as civilised.

Lorne Lanning has stated that Stranger's Wrath occurs in Western Mudos and concurrent (ie at the same time) to Abe and Munch's story.

Some Sligs in MO do have laser guns. But other Sligs have beating bats or whatever those things are called. Sorry, but I think your point is not completely logical. Weapons in OW dont really talk about the time period rather than the status of their owners.

I think in MO the sligs should have machine guns, it would have made the game a lot harder... :D

Laser guns? The ‘laser’ is just so the player can see the ammunition being fired.

Max, agreed.
Also, maybe there guns are more "high-tech" I guess you would call it, becasue they work for probably one of the biggest industries on Oddworld.

Status, status, status! :p Thats all there is to it. Plus, who do u guys think has more money to arm themselves and their Sligs? An outlaw or a Glukkon Bigcheese/Glockstar? I think its so, so cleeeeear...
