Forget t-shirts, forget posters, I want figures!

Xavier 04-05-2012 02:56 AM

Forget figures, I want artbooks!

Nepsotic 04-05-2012 06:42 AM

we got one. And ones good enough, until 2014: the art of OWI, the next ten years. (maybe 3 or 4 pages max)

Wil 04-05-2012 07:03 AM

The next picturebook to come from Oddworld Inhabitants will be rated XXX.

A question to our veterans: when at the ending of Abe's Exoddus even though you saved all the Mudokons Abe says that other friends are still out enslaved (and in the clip there in fact some Mudokons in the jail), who is reffering to if I saved them all?!?!?!??!

Crashpunk 05-05-2012 08:24 AM

I've always thought that they were just enslaved Mudokons in another part of Oddworld that we haven't been to separate to the 399 Abe has saved so far.

And I think when Abe says "we're going to find them" it's a cliffhanger, it shows us that his mission isn't over and thus making the player know that the series isn't finished.

Nate 05-05-2012 09:19 PM

Yes, what Crashpunk said. There are more than 399 enslaved Mudokons in all of Mudos.

abe is now! 05-07-2012 09:31 AM

But we can clearly see that those Mudokons are in the same jail where there were the others of the clip at the end of the first CD (when Phleg was giving them SoulStorm Brew)... weren't those Mudokons supposed to work in Necrum Mines, SoulStorm Brwery or in other facilities of Abe's Exoddus? Or is it possible that they were scrubs in... Munch's Oddysee??

Nate 05-07-2012 07:58 PM

That first jail was out in the middle of the desert, near a Mudokon encampment. That's where the Glukkons set up shop to trick the Muds in to slavery. It's not in any facility.

As to whether the two jails are the same; the first one had wooden walls, but the jail in the Good Ending FMV looks like it has stone walls. They look similar, but they're clearly different jails.

Maybe you're right nate; I also think those Mudokons were supposed for Munch's Oddysee story; in fact, at the end of Abe's exoddus manual, it talks about Munch's Oddysee... the two stories should go simultaneously, shouldn't they? So those Mudokons were already enslaved during Abe's Exoddus :D

Abe's stitches.
 
Why does Abe have stitches on his mouth. Is it a Rupture Farms rule they cannot talk. Or was he born with it. I know I sound stupid but I'm just wondering. Cos he can still talk so whats the point. Someone explain please? :fuzconf:

Spooce-aholic 05-10-2012 10:58 AM

Abe got the stitches when he was a baby. They put the stitches on him because he cried a lot. Eventually, the stitches worn out and became loose. So now he can talk.

GLaDOS 05-10-2012 11:00 AM

Oh really. Well his parents are cruel. They never took them off?

STM 05-10-2012 11:01 AM

Oh holy fuck...

Abe never wanted them off. Abe ony has one parent; she's the Mudokon queen and her name is Sam.

GLaDOS 05-10-2012 11:05 AM

I sound like such a noob. But if he has a royal parent why is he in Rupture Farms?

Varrok 05-10-2012 11:07 AM

It's more like Ant Queen than royality

GLaDOS 05-10-2012 11:08 AM

Ah.

Just when you couldn't get any more condescending.

Seriously. What's your problem?

STM 05-11-2012 08:03 AM

Chill out, I don't actually give a flying fuck, which I why I left the post so gapingly vacant. I don't have a problem, this is a Q & A thread after all, when I do, I'll let you know, thanks so much for your concern.

Wil 05-11-2012 09:38 AM

Well, pretending to be condescending to someone who won't know any better is better than actually being condescending... I guess?

I'm sure I explained this to you, Will.

YOU ARE NOT HOBO, Scrabtrapman!

STM 05-11-2012 10:40 AM

Pssh, I have my own devilish twist of patented arse hole. XD

MeechMunchie 05-11-2012 02:28 PM

Scrabtrapman, you've done it before.

Don't do it again.

You know what I mean.

STM 05-12-2012 05:42 AM

Eh, you ruin my fun, MM.

I do have a question actually, fortunately...in the AO menu screen, with Abe's head, he's surrounded by, what I presume to be tribal hieroglyphs, or pictograms, or something. Any way, I've identified most of them, but I was wondering if anyone knew what the ones I can't work out are..are?

Using http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtqsThM41jc and going clockwise from bottom left to bottom right I have:

1 elum
2 ?
3 ? (vyker or glukkon?)
4 mudokon
5 scrab
6 slog
7 ?
8 slig
9 paramite

Ta.

Varrok 05-12-2012 05:47 AM

3. Is more likely a glukkon imo

MeechMunchie 05-12-2012 06:55 AM

Yeah, definitely a Glukkon. Not sure about the other two, though. 2 looks kind of like a fish skeleton or some kind of eye-tripod, 7 looks like an armless Chronicler or a Gloktigi. I'm pretty sure those races didn't even exist (at least in any form we'd recognise) at the time of AO's development, though, so it's probably neither.

No Meeches anywhere, either :(
