Yeah I know Alf expained it but that is kinda weird still considering the Flying sligs have 2 eyes in the game. Oh and how about this one. You know when you possess a slig in MO and you go around insulting everyone and one of the responces is "yeah sure, and ya motha" well they all got the same mother so they be insulting there own mother

True...but I doubt any of them feel any affection towards her.

Thats true. Well I'm back to dump my daily quota in. Did ya ever wonder what happened to the sligs guns in MO. In the previous games their guns where automatic machine guns and in MO they are more on slow pace shooters like rifle speed shooters. What about Abe and Munch, how did Abe become so tolerant of bullets in MO where on shoot would take him down in AO and AE, did he build up an natural immunity to bullets or something along those lines. Heres one that someone has problely mentioned, in AE all the movies/cut sequences they feature Abe with 3 fingers but still in the game in AE if you look close at Abe's hands he still got 4 fingers even though the the movies show him as having 3

Bullets im MO are Soulstorm brew.

Odd Trusting 11-30-2004 11:06 AM

but why did they go with Soul Storm brew when they would jepordise there attack speed.

Wil 11-30-2004 11:31 AM

Because if they use Consumer Goods weaponry, they can get Muds addicted on Brew, making them susceptible to ‘employment’ as we've seen in Abe's Exoddus.

Odd Trusting 11-30-2004 11:53 AM

The sligs didn'tthink that one out on there own But why use it inside their facilities where the Muds are already working for them (unless they make all their weapons sole stock so the only weapons available are those with SoulStorm firing action). And why not use them in Abe's Exoddus. And doesn't everybody miss those killer meat grinders and bone drills that MO seems to be missing

Because OWI hadn't designed them then.

Kinda, but as Lorne explained in early interviews about going into 3D gaming, the player can simply walk around obstacles like these.

Odd Trusting 11-30-2004 12:26 PM

I know they hadn't designed them yet, but what is the Alf responce (aka the Oddworld reason) for them not using them. And I see what ya mean about being able to walk around them, but how come Abe just didn't walk around them in AE and AO, all the land in the game couldn't only be 3 feet wide (or 1 meter), that is a question for the Abe man himself, I'll go ask him.

An Alf style responce might question your ancestry with various references to livestock and YY homologous pairs. Well, maybe not, but I seriously doubt he's take it so seriously.

All the locations we've seen prior to Munch's Oddysee took place quite apart from those in MO, including RuptureFarms, SoulStorm Brewery... and the Slig Barracks. We know that the area the Slig Barracks is in has its own signature Moolah, and we know all these locations are linked very specifically by the FeeCo Depot, and are/were all owned and run by Molluck. My guess: Molluck simply doesn't allow anything so wussy as Product Delivery Firearms in his territory, prefering cold hard quick-firing bullets.

Yup we went through that one
In regards to the weapon use in the various areas through out Oddworld, it seems that Mullok part in this all forcing them to use bullets sounds like that is most likely the reason.

Xavier 11-30-2004 12:55 PM

I think you might be right on that Max...
I think that's one of the reason why AO and AE universes were darker thant MO
because they were closre to Molluck's domain :p

Here's an Odd fact for ya coming straight from my chum Alf.
:

Yep! That's it! Jump in and stop by for a visit! ; )

Stay Odd,
Alf



Hey Alf I noticed something strange here in Oddworld on the edge of Mudos. Their is a portal open in the middle of the forest, on the other side are these weird creatures that have hair that covers there whole head, have unnatural skin color and work on computers all day. Is this a portal to that place in California in a small little quint town that is know as the Oddworld Inhabitants building
Sincerly,
A truely confused mudokon, Odd Trusting

How about that
