I'd think that Stranger (for one reason or another) dosn't know of his true form and some how, through spiritual pourposes, finds out later. It is interesting which ever way you look at it however. Hopefully we'll get some story info soon!

Didn't Lorne actually mention in the Polygon article, that there was competition between some employees (during the development of Munch's Oddysee)? Though, I think the ones in question, left. Pity, as they were extremely good. But, that's not to say there aren't any good ones left *waves banner with words: "Go Babbar! Go Swanland!"*

Purely speculation, but I'd imagine it's between the boat that Stranger has some connection with. Or is my speculation purely wrong? :p

Alcar...

well right now... there aren't any competitions anymore inside OWI itself, according to the Polygon Mag :fuzwink:

A Jekyll/Hyde connection between Stranger and his boat?

Alright, what version of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde have you been reading?

I think that particular relationship is more like in ICO, as really early micro articles hinted, though I don't see how exactly. I'm sure the inspiration of horns comes from ICO, though. You're right that it's all speculation, though. ;)
