I've only just realised this massive difference between the two games, although technically in Exodduss each vault does have a small journey before you reach the hubs which I suppose compensates for Scrabania and Paramonia.

With that being said (Page 2), Mudomo and Mudanchee weren't a scratch on Paramonian and Scrabanian temples. That's how I felt any way, the design and the puzzles just didn't stand up to the original temples in my opinion.

Also, regarding meeches, I always thought they bore a degree of sentience that put them above and beyond scrabs and paramites. Abe says something along the lines of, 'there were these really cool guys called Meeches' that made me think they might intelligent and therefore unworthy of idolatry worship. The Magog Cartel aren't exactly above using sapient species in their food products.

i like Oddysee.
