Nice you managed to clear things up, it looks like you missed lots.

P.S I don't really think Jo'momma is a queen, because why would a queen of outlaws be hiding in a wrecked ship and wearing god only knows what! She should be in a palace

P.P.S I do think a good semi-sandbox game would get the OWF out of these 'Dark Times' as you put it. Something like MO do you mean? Where you can search to find answers to problems, is that what you were talking about?
If it is,It would be good, and I think with the publicity OWI got out of SW because of it's publishers a new game could sell fast.
But as much as we want to see OWI back of it's feet in top form, i don't think that'll happen for some time. Mabey in a few years, but not right now.

Who would I like to see in the next game?

Definitely Abe. Probably Munch as well, though, as the next game should be Munch's Exoddus. Stranger hits me as a sort of one-shot story kinda guy, although they may tie in referances and locals and such later.

I thought Jo'Momma could be a queen in that she breeds alot. But who knows? Maybe Oddworldians become queens, breed, then shrink down later into normal sized female characters.

Hell, I'd like to see all, but mostly Stranger.
Ever since I finished the game, I felt annoyed.
How could Lorne just leave it like that?
That's why I want to see him more in the hopefully-next game.

To be honest you could be right, i just thought it was a bit farfetched that an outlaw queen that must have a lot 'o' loot would be hiding in a shipwreck.
But you make a good point.

Outlaws don't have to have a queen, they coud have a "human-like" reproduction system

That would explain a lot, so are you saying that there are male and female outlaws, and the male's go out to rob like a whislt the female's sit at home and count the loot. Is that what you're saying?

Ah. A male feminist. A rare specimen indeed.

Perhaps the males outnumer the females, who are longer lived or something. Perhaps the Outlaws are mostly half brothers.

But that only applies to the tusked hunchbacked outlaws. There's also the orange hunchbacks, the big-eared yellowheads, and the hammerjaw outlaws like Blisterz...

Who is the male feminist? me?

Perhaps the females are completly different to the male outlaws. Mabey they don't have big tusks and ugly features and perhaps Jo'momma grew irregular horns at young age and dedicated her life to crime. Or perhaps she a perfectly normal female outlaw.

And outlaws do come in many shapes and sizes

I guess she's the only one we saw because she has more caracter then the other ones...

actually Outlaws are a difficult species to understand fully, they have way too many forms

Jo' Mamma's incredible progeny suggests Outlaws might be a super species. Perhaps they are, but unlike Mudokons, Sligs and Glukkons, there are more than one queen.

Alternatively, Jo' Mamma's numerous offspring are a dig at trailer trash, which I think is more likely. I haven't heard of Blisterz and Boilz having any more brothers.

I always figured she was being metaphorical when she described her minions as her children. So they are like her sons but not biologically.

Have you ever considered that she may actually be a transvestite? She certainly isn't very feminine. Or perhaps outlaws don't have specific sexes (ie they may be hermaphroditic, or a superspecies where we are yet to see the queen) and individuals can choose whichever gender suits them.

You make a good point, but she comes across as female outlaw to me.

Yeah, she comes off as... well, just a white trash mamma. To be stereotypical, they aren't attractive and are masculine gun-toting cookies, as well as having a plethora of children.
From the exchanged dialogue I observed between Outlaws, they are in fact her sons, adopted or biological, but I doubt she means it as a metaphor. It's also evident due to the name similarities; Billy Bob, Billy Jack, Billy Joe, Billy Billy.

I can't remember what the names were, but i think it was boliz booty and blitz booty, but i'm not sure. That is a case of similar names, they're probably related or adopted or come from the same distric. Is that like the thing you're talking about?

No. Boilz and Blizters Booty are brothers, we know that. We're talking about another Outlaw named Jo' Mamma, who seems to be the only female outlaw, and are debating whether her minions are actually her sons or not.

I know, i was just asking if you were talking about outlaw relations, and now i know you were. Then Boliz and Blitz Booty are evidence that outlaws are related. But the question has many possible answers. So the answer can only really come from Lorne himself. But for me, i think the outlaws are either adopted or bought. Is it possible that there is some kind of outlaw trading market. Where you can buy and sell minions

But Boilz and Blisterz are a different species entirely from Jo' Mamma and her 'sons'.

Technically they can't really be her sons considering she's a horn-head outlaw while they're hump-backed outlaws, right?

I would like to see abe and munch meet up with stranger (just thinking here), but what if stranger went back to(not saying he left) bounty hunting and some glukkons hired him to capture abe and munch the "notorious" crimals behind vykker's labs, soulstorm and rupture farms. but then he finds out thier true intentions for their actions and joins them in the fight to free the inhabitants of oddworld.

That's right, every outlaw boss has minions and there are always the same hunched-backed outlaws that are the minions. So they're probable just bought.

Have you ever seen a termite queen? She looks nothing like her daughters.

And Jo'Momma comes off more like a bitchy grandmother to me.

For me she just seems an outlaw, not an outlaw queen nor an outlaw mother.

I would like to say again that I'd like to play an Oddworld MMORPG. That way we could make our own characters and play out our fanfics and RPGs

I think that kind of game would be good on the internet, but not as a single player. The problem with that is you could never really fulfill your own RPG's or fan fiction

I would like to see Abe and Munch meet Stranger and some other character because that other character is the only way they can advance further to saving Oddworld. I think it would be neat to see how the characters react to each other. Then, the player could choose what character they want to play for each level just by pressing a button.(Kind of like the scheme of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Battle Nexus....yes I know I've played it. I regret nothing lol)

it would be kinda cool seeing how all the characters react to each other but i think that mabey a game about all of them wouldn't be that great

ya in an rp i did somthing like that and the slig started shooting them

on topic id like to see either stranger a new character or a game based on a glukkon

When is the next game called and when's it coming out or will that me announced at E3?

I don't know, I'm not sure anyone knows? Someone might

No, all the Outlaws in the game are the same species. There's just a tremendous amount of variation within the species, even within the same family, as in the case of Jo' Mamma and her children.

Even Caste Raider and Fatty McBoomBoom are Outlaws, despite looking like Wolvarks to me. I heard a neat theory on Wikipedia of all places, that their appearance is a result of inter-breeding between Outlaws and Wolvarks.

Oddworld Inhabitants are currently working on an Oddworld film. The nature, release date and existence of any future games is quite dependent on the release and success of that film.
