Shapeshift
 

hi its me Odd ryan just here to say it would be really cool to shapeshift as abe i got the idea because after big face gives him powers he is outside and it activates and he shapeshifts i thought this would be really cool but he can already posses but it would be awsome for him to shapeshift i mean shapeshift into a gluckun glockstar and get anywhere! how cool wuld that be or if you wanted to go somewhere you can shapeshift into something small and sneek past but if they did the game would be easy but if you had to have 100 or 150 you could shapeshift i really think it would be cool but
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I'm thinking that that was an incoherent string of words. Fetch me my glasses.

I think I get the general gist. I would not want Abe to change form. It wouldn't really seem necessary, and it'd probably be a bugger for the programmers to do too. Also, it is hard enough trying to come up with a theory to how Abe can possess things. To actually change form, and return to his original shape without damage would be perhaps even harder to (try and) explain.

Whoa, and Munch could change shape and become like a hulk-shaped version of himself and we could call him Roid...

No, it would completely kill everything. That would pretty much make Abe a god mod character, and no one would want that. Plus, it would probably make every next oddworld game super easy. Again, something no one would want. It's fine how it is, where every once in a great while he becomes Skrykull (for a brief moment at that), but nothing more.

Wait...but that...I don't even...

I think abe should be able to fly it would be really cool

You'd love -ddcheat with the PC version.

Or were you being sarcastic? Xavier's earlier "tone" has thrown me.

I see potential, but that idea has been done to death. MO had a severe lack of Shryhull though to be fair.

Hmm ..... While the idea is completley understandable and interesting, it wouldn't really be needed since Abe can posses things. If Abe can control others and their actions, transmorphigate himself into a demi-god, become invisible, jump around like a Naruto Ninja, and then some how add in shapeshifting ..... it would .... not be cool.

What if it was like the Devil Trigger in Devil May Cry? Where it was only active for short periods of time? That's more logical.

...whut.

I think he meant you have to save 100/150 mudokons before you are allowed to shapeshift. Personally I'd prefer to see this in another way, such as a holographic fakery.

Yea thats what i meant i just said if abe could shape shift it would be good but he can already posses people,maybe if your only aloud to when you save a certain amount of muds you can or just on a sercret lvl,or it could be a drink?

I think Abe should try to get an apartment with Alf, except that the apartment they want WILL ONLY BE RENTED TO WOMEN! LOL! So they have to dress up like ladies and wear make up to get the apartment. Oh, the hijinks that would ensue. Anyone have Lorne's email? This stuff is gold.

I THINK ABE SHUD HAVE GUNS WITH LOT OF BULLITS

lolwait no your missin der bigger picher wot if hee cud tern into.................................................GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! shit that wud be orsum!!!!!!!!11111111111111

That's right, I joined in.

But wait, there's a twist; Alf actually is a woman.

Bet you didn't see THAT coming.

Twist: Big Bro Sligs are actually female :D

HEAT SEEKING BULLITS FTW! hIS ARMS SHOULD BE BULLITS!!!

Are you okay? Is this going to be an Oddworld version of Ms. Doubtfire?

or Some Like it Hot, or Boat Trip

The twist is that WomAlf uses a Red Herring to block a shot from Chekov's Gun.

Right you lot! stfu i dont care if alf is a women or they should have a apartment together i don't care stop ruining this thread!
and abe should not have guns and stop talking in caps.

Bosom Buddies, damn you. Bosom Buddies.

Next christmas, Ask for a COMMA.

Welcome to OWF bud. ;)

Jesus, who negrepped Odd Ryan?

Ruthless.

That would be me.

I can give you powers? Scary powers
 

I like the idea of shapeshifting but not abe. Isn't possession good enough? If you can possess him what the point of turning into him. Personally I like the abe the way he is.

I would not mind if they had another mudoken to shapeshift. I read some of the replies, someone suggested "flying" No offence I think that is taking too far. But I cannot judge on your opinion and personally I would say flying does not count that as Oddworld. It would be too superhero theme. Too much like superman.

Next thing a person will suggest that Paramites can shoot webbing to store their food like spiders. And abe uses the paramite's power to shoot enemies. Good grief!!

Oh, I want to know, can all mudokens regrow trees and plants? Could it be possible to turn nature as a weapon. Killers tree vines :)

It would be a good idea if Abe was able to shapeshift if you use a cheat, just like the flying cheat. It would be fun to shapeshift, but only when shapeshifting is a cheat, and not a power you get in the game. That would mess up the story. Abe would just be able to turn into a walking shrykull and destroy the industry without using his brain to outwit the glukkons, which is how he is supposed to do it. Just like the flying cheat, shapeshifting would be fun, but not as a part of the story.
