What is Up with Abe??!!!
 

Okay, in one of the movies, he kept getting hit by a scrab and he did'nt die. In the pictures, when he got shot he never died. how does he die????!! Not only he look funny. but he's messed, badly!

Abe has got many levels of health in MO. Instead of dieing all at once and having all of his birds fly away at once, He dies bit by bit and loss a bird at a time. This way you can count how many birds there are hanging around and figger out your health. ;)

I think it's a cool way to indicate your health, but it has to remain realistic. I hope they don't make the game too easy (like AE). It's good you don't die immediately, but taking 10 hits, and still be alive, nope, that's too much.

well I think thats a good idea. and it won´t be to easy( remember how big the levils are

Yeah, Abe just suddenly rips off his skin and the Superman-S shows on his chest. That would be funny, eh? :D

The health thing sounds good, but do the birds hover above you when they get out of Abe? So you can see how much you've lost, in case you forget? and if so, why can't he just jump up and get them back?

I don't know for sure or anything but this is how I think it works...
... When Abe losses a bird they just do what they do but stay within sight of Abe. If Abe get to a place where he can chant freely (no orbs or bad guys) and his birds can move freely, he can chant and get his birds back one by one...
... this idear is bassed on logical thinking, the way things tend to be on Oddworld and the Shrykull portals. As you would probly know with the Shrykull portals Abe chants, the Mudukons jump through then the birds fly out and into Abe (while he is canting). with this new info this can now be interprayed (spelling) into meaning Abe now has a lot more life... thus he can burn it off in one go becoming the Shrykull and killing everything...
... This has got me thinking... You know how Abe has a blue polsaiting (spelling) ring when he gets the Shrykull power? and you know how Abe has blue skin? Well what if Mudukon skin blueness indicates there highest posible life amount (bird amount) for a Mudukon. Therefor the blue polsating ring could be a higher skin blueness that is so high that it glows. This would explain why blue skin is highly regarded in Mudukon culture. And that could be therefor why Abe is so important. :D

I have made a new topic conserning my last post... it is called "Bird, Blue skin and Shrykull".
:D

Yeah that sounds right. I like the fact that you can get the birds back.
What you said about blue skin is probsbly right. Have u ever noticed Oddworld games are the only ones with such deep culture and backgrounds? Well, them and Starship Titanic (That was cool-my fave game ever)
