thanks for the answer anyway.

Whats a gabbiwog?

Wil 04-03-2005 12:03 PM

It's a baby Gabbit, just the way a baby frog is a poliwog. That is to say, it's a Gabbit tadpole.

Hunk of Steef 04-03-2005 12:36 PM

Thanks, I've been wondering.

:love: I love the drawings of the stages that Gambits go thorugh from the Oddworld art book.

Just wondering were we acutally going to meet the Slig Queen in Munch's Oddysee or was she going to appear in a future game??
(I heard about the Slig Queen not soon after joining the forums and I still found it hard to belive that there is one)

Nate 04-03-2005 08:41 PM

I don't think we were going to meet Skillya, but we were supposed to meet Sam and Magagie[/Simpsons]

Why don't you try the FAN SECTION?....Idiot...

mudling 04-04-2005 03:14 AM

try "go advanced" in the bottem of your post box and then manage attachments.

What's your point? Just because we haven't seen something in a game doesn't mean it's not important.

One day you'll learn that what makes Oddworld so great is the backstory and life they give to the world they've created.

Hunk of Steef 04-05-2005 01:27 PM

Yeah, well if all gabbiwogs are is baby gabbits, then it doesn't matter if weve seen them, because weve seen gabbits. (this probably doesnt make any sense, Im having a bad day.)

Paco_the_Taco 04-08-2005 09:22 PM

D. Caste Raider?
 
What's his name? On those cards that came out awhile back (as well as his picture in the SW Fan Site Kit), he was labled "D. Caste Raider", but in the credits to Stranger's Wrath, it's "Castaraider".

I know this is a stupid question, but does anyone understand why this is?

Abe16 04-08-2005 09:26 PM

This should be in "Oddworld Questions and answers". And, I have no clue.

tentacle_orgy 04-08-2005 09:59 PM

It says in the art book that native Mudokons have either been freed, or were never slaves...But, if Sam is in captivity, how can any Muds not be slaves from the very moment of their birth?....

Paco_the_Taco 04-08-2005 10:30 PM

Oh. Whoops. Is there a way to move it?

stingbee 04-08-2005 11:19 PM

a moderater has to do it like xavier or t-nex or someone like that

Abe16 04-08-2005 11:49 PM

I think they can only move threads to different, topic places. or something like that. A mod can close it and you can ask your question here! http://www.oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=10017

stingbee 04-09-2005 07:21 AM

yeah anything could be in those carrages



Products, supplies, slig workers...etc used the rail system. Haulting it would hault production. Plus, the gluks were overconfident and never though Abe would get as far as he did.

oh guys I have a hard question. in ao you get to ride elum in scarabania and paramonia but how come elum never appered in ae thats strange

duveaux 04-09-2005 10:28 AM

A mod could merge it...
I think it's just D. caste rider. As for it says so on the site, on the bounty. And since I didn't watched the creds I only saw it as D. caste rider

Oddish 04-09-2005 11:18 AM

Becuase you have a mine car instead. And mabey Elum dosn't live in those kind of locations in AE, the only undustralized enivroment is Necrum jungle, and you wound't expect Elums to live there.

Xavier 04-09-2005 11:24 AM

Probably the same inhabitant that drank to much tea while making the booklet and that putted 2 bada boombats :p

the official name is D. Caste Rider, and it sounds like The Castraitor
He is the one who de-pants :p

"Castaraider"does also sound like castraitor:p

EA did the manual, OWI did the credits. :p
I noticed this two, which made me wonder if 'The Olden Steef' is the correct name to use for him, because I think he's only called that in the credits (in The Ending, he is referred to by the grubb as the "Old Steef!").

mudling 04-09-2005 02:20 PM

here's a question that is probibly obvious and might contain spoilers:
when you get to the boat for the first time, a grub runs up to you. is that grubb the leader, or is it just a grubb soldier and the red things on it's back are arrows?

Oddish 04-09-2005 02:27 PM

It may not the be leader, the Grubb leader is Freyda Erveting.

Esus 04-09-2005 02:36 PM

If you're talking about the one that dies, then it's just a soldier.
The leader doesn't show up anywhere at the boats cave.

mudling 04-09-2005 02:37 PM

oh ok, thanks esus, so it's just a soldier.
so if does that mean the leader you meet in the first village goes to last legs? i thought each settlement has it's own leader, but i guess there could be a leader of all the grubbs.

Oddish 04-09-2005 02:43 PM

*spoilers*

Heres a question.

Who stole Stranger's cloths and crossbow when he was captured by the outlaws? And why did they do it? What ever happend to them?

mudling 04-09-2005 02:50 PM

*spoilers*
i'm pretty sure you already know this but, it was the grubbs. they gave you a better crossbow and armor in return, maybe it was a different tribe, but, they tell you that they saved you. it's a bit annoying when i bit a lot of good things, then lost them all when the grubbs took them.

Oddish 04-09-2005 02:59 PM

I see, mabey I didn't remember the Grubb saving Stranger.

Esus 04-09-2005 03:25 PM

The grubbs 'rescued' them when they saved his life. They probably didn't give them back because they realised they were a disguised, useless, and they had better clothes for him.

Wil 04-10-2005 07:02 AM

Grubbs refer to him as the Olden Steef in the Grubb Village, though.

Excuse me? Just to show you how furious I am, I'm going to merge this with the Q&A thread. Roar!

*merges*

EDIT: The apparent double post is just the result of a merged thread.

:

It says in the art book that native Mudokons have either been freed, or were never slaves...But, if Sam is in captivity, how can any Muds not be slaves from the very moment of their birth?....

Observe:-
:

Q: If most of the prominent Oddworldian species breed like hive insects (that is, with a single Queen producing hordes of sterile workers) and the Mudokon Queen, Sam, is in a Glukkon facility, then how are the free born Mudokon born in the first place?

Alf: Hmm... is that where I came from? My foster slig always told me he found me underneath a dew-covered Spooce Shrub on a sunny spring day. I always thought it sounded kinda romanticized...

Oh, that wasn't really very helpful … It gets more confusing : there are Mudokon tribes scattered all over Mudos. One way it could work is if the sum of the age of the remaining Native Mudokons and the length of time Sam has been in captivity is equal to or less than forty years. We know now Sam is the only Mudokon Queen, but there may have been free Queens who have died in the last few decades, leaving Sam as the only Queen.

Woah, it's almost as if this question hasn't been answered a gazillion times already. Read the goddamned Forums FAQ.

:

Well, no, they have separate character profiles.

:

Yes, she goes to Last Legs. The Grubbs tell you that. She's also not a political leader, merely a spiritual guide helping her people to overcome oppression.

:

I see, mabey I didn't remember the Grubb saving Stranger.

They ambush D. Caste Raider's hideout and release him from bondage. Er, you know, the ropes.

Nate 04-11-2005 06:45 PM

Because Elum took up a lot of memory and AE was such a more complex game that they couldn't fit him in.

Hunk of Steef 04-12-2005 05:31 PM

Is Elum the name of Abes mount, the name of that species, or both?
EDIT: Before I forget, What purpose is the sligs mask. Can they not breathe whatever Oddworlds air is made of?

The Marching Mudokon 04-13-2005 01:20 AM

Elum is the species name and Abe's pet. There are a couple of reasons sligs have masks. 1. Glukkons hate looking at their faces so they force sligs to where masks. 2.They also act as gas masks and I think NVGs (Night Vision Goggles).

mudling 04-13-2005 02:41 PM

one question, was there anything official saying that the quintoligy had to involve the past characters of the quintoligy and get their own moons?

Nate 04-13-2005 03:13 PM

The AO manual did say that past characters you may have not noticed may pop up in ways you never expected (I'm paraphrasing here).

As for the moons, I think Lorne said in an interview that each quintologist will have his/her own moon. There are varying stories about how the moons came into existence. Do a search in the forums and you'll find out way more than you wanted to know.

mudling 04-13-2005 03:21 PM

thanks, searching....now.
