well I think they are perfectly adapted, maybe with teir complete feets

Drogo 10-10-2002 12:45 PM

I agree with XAVIER. Sligs won't ever scubadive because their equipment would be heavy and expensive. Maybe something that looks like a gluckon would go underwater.

Xavier 10-10-2002 03:29 PM

I doubt some one of the gloktogi family will be a soldier, maybe an aquatic speicie, but not a soldier

Drogo 10-10-2002 05:00 PM

But gluckons come from a squid type of species. So maybe some creatures that come from the same family tree would come to the agreement to serve their brothers.

wich one?

Oddipus 10-11-2002 02:32 PM

Jacob, you got me right.

Interns use the swimsuit for fashion-purposes only.

Interns or sligs won't be aquatic guards I guess, since they can't swim (play MO and you'll see). So to make them ready for some water-action, they need a lot of work. And who is gonna invest in that? Their will probable be other creatures more suitable for that job.

Xavier 10-11-2002 02:52 PM

I'm sure non operated interns (with full legs) can swim pretty well

Drogo 10-12-2002 08:02 PM

Why is it that so many of you think that interns can be aquatic? They are more likely to come from trees as OWI says so even if they had scuba gear they woudn't feel comfortable in water. Mudockons don't swim and they look more like us (humans-creatures that can swim) than any other creature on Oddworld.

Yeah, if you look at the structure of their legs, they look pretty identical to frog legs without feet...

Pro-Amphibious Interns: Their long, fin-shaped hands could be used for swimming.

Pro-Treedwelling Interns: Their long, agile hands could be used for climbing trees.

like frogs, half on earth, half in water

Refer to the other Intern topic.

So? They're esentially lizards with bird-like features. They're very clumbsy and heavy. Besides, plenty of humans can't swim either.

It does seem that modern Interns can't swim, but with spindly fingers and stumpy legs it's no wonder. I'm still convinced they were once aquatic, and possibly could be in their natural state.

mudokons are heavy? Abe seems to jump pretty hight for a heavy person, and lots of Mudokons looks squeletic, okay Buddy is heavy, but the others?

Wil 10-13-2002 09:25 AM

Oops, I thought I changed that. No, Mudokons are light, because they have plenty of hollow bones (a feature left from their bird-stage in evolution). Abe does appear very agile in MO, but I don't like that because he was always so clumbsy in the Abe games and suits his character. I'm hoping for that to be sorted out in ME.

Xavier 10-13-2002 09:27 AM

hmmm Abe is clumbsy in the Abe games?
he often fell down off cliffs and so, but he usualy got a good movement coordination

Drogo 10-13-2002 11:42 AM

Abe was clumsy in AE & AO if you controlled him to be clumsy like smacking him against the wall. In the movies he was clumsy because he was in places that were unknown to him. He worked in Rupture Farms all his life and he didn't know how to take care of himself. Or he was distracted by something (AO: Looking up at Odd). But Max the Mug does have a point. He's probably not clumsy in MO because the controlls changed a lot: you can't crouch, you jump like a ball) but I don't know why he's not clumsy in movies. Munch seems clumsier though.

Wil 10-13-2002 12:57 PM

I think that was one of my problems with MO - Abe has transformed from a loveable, clumbsy klutz who almost get pulled into adventures to an agile and adventurous hero. What happened to the anti-hero business?

well it's still here, look at munch... but yes Abe is a bit too good

paramiteabe 10-13-2002 08:39 PM

Now what about sligs climbing ladders? That was introduced in the early production. I hope sligs can climb in Oddworld 4.

Xavier 10-14-2002 03:39 AM

well, yes that's true...
and whatt about mudokons who understand that a possesed slig is Abe, and so can follow him

Jacob 10-14-2002 06:18 AM

I'd rather not have that. It'd make it boring. I'd rather have to talk to the Mudokons as a Slig, like say 'Follow me' or something. And i want to see them climbing ladders aswell...

BigBro 10-15-2002 01:22 AM

Thats what they were talking about, you have just contradicted yourself immensely..;)

Jacob 10-15-2002 07:31 PM

No, they said just follow him straight away. I want Abe to have to gain their trust...

BigBro 10-16-2002 03:05 AM

Oooooooooooooh, I see now. :D

I think thats what they were getting at anyway. :p
