Unlockables
 
Stranger is short. And as far as I know the closest thing to secrets in OSW are the "easter eggs" and the cheats. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm quite a sucker for secret areas and unlockable treats of any kind.

Assuming that OWI has time to create "extra" goodies without negatively affecting the quality of the game, what sort of secrets, unlockables, or alternate modes of play would you like in a second Stranger game?

I wouldn't mind there being a secret level or secret ammo of some kind. For instance, when I first saw those birds, my first thought was "Secret ammo!" I wouldn't mind a multiplayer option either, or a battle royale mode. And if they do decide to create downloadable content (i'm convinced that was a possibility at one point) a multiplayer mode could easily benefit from it. EDIT: Apparently I'm actually thinking of two-player, not necessarily online.

Still and all, I'd prefer for the game itself to be the best it could be, rather than waste time on superfluous--albeit fun--bonuses. These are just some things I'd like, and I'm curious as to what other forumers would consider worth the extra time.

First Game- The option to visit previous locations once the game is completed. Like, put ladders to where all of the bounties connect into town, and open all the doors to previous towns (Except the first one, for obvious reasons...). That would indeed be the best thing ever. It shouldn't be that hard, either... Put a rope here, open a door there. It would just be cool!

Second Game- a co-op version. That would kick major anus.

Well, I aint gettin' hopeful for downloadable content, though. As far as I have heard, there has been no indication toward it.

It would be cool if there was downloadable live ammo-like fleeches! That would be the coolest live ammo except the fleeches would probably eat whoever it was you were fighting before you could bag them.

Fleeches would have kind of the same function as Fuzzles. Plus, they're only dangerous when they're huge. I don't think a 6 foot slug would fit in Stranger's crossbow. :D

Woah, Fleeches may have a 6-foot tongue, but they themselves are considerably smaller. My only thought is that they're not particularly aerodynamic, so they wouldn't really get shot far.

Downloadable Live Ammo might be cool in a multiplayer story-lite Oddworld shooter.

Oh, I was under the impression that they themselves were 6 feet long. Oops.
