A female as a main character?
I was looking around oddworldian and I noticed an interview with Lorne and this is what he had to say about females!
:
tell me what U guys think! [ October 04, 2001: Message edited by: Chris Co Depot ] |
Hmm... you have a point there. Perhaps we will see species where there are equal parts male and female.
|
GO FEMALES! *runs before the tomatoes come* not that i have anything against guys!
|
I asked Alf about that like 6 months ago. Finally I know the truth!!!!!
:D :D |
too bad that sam was stripped from munch's oddysee :(
|
I personally think, in the future, some of the quintology heros will be a female.
|
Aura: *waves arm in air* I'LL VOLUNTEER! Where's th'sheet, I'll put me name down now...
|
well, Lulu's a girl's name...so that's a start...
|
That's great news. I was saying to my friend the other day "Notice how there are no female characters in the Oddworld games?", and now we're finally gonna see some. :) I would hate for Oddworld to be a male-dominated environment, anyway.
 |
A male dominated universe? Technically, we have seen no males on Oddworld. We have seen females, however: Sam and Maggie.
|
They are no males, they are things... fun for they... :D :D :D
But logicly if you fave a Female, you must have got a Male, because without Males => no baby... [ October 02, 2001: Message edited by: Xavier ] |
And without females its the same!
YEAH!!! Female heros!! The main character from my fict is Female ,too. I would love it if there were more females. FEMALES!!! |
BTW: Chris co, cool banner!
|
I hope the other females would be SEXY, :D
|
Some of U think that what I said is true, what is true is that I'm only guessing on what I read at oddworldian, none of this is fact!
Freaky thanxs for the banner comment I owe it all to Abe Babe Thanx again Abe Babe! :) :) :) [ October 02, 2001: Message edited by: Chris Co Depot ] |

What about skillya? She's a female. And what is the plot of MO,anyway? I once heard it was to get the last can o' gabbierier, then I heard it was to save Sam. So wtf is the plot to munch's oddysee?
|
i truly think that oddworld will be done with before there are any female heros abe and munch will probably be the last of the oddowrld heros. but you never know what the furture brings
|
I'd like to see a female Meech as a hero. That would be cool.
|
there will be 5 heros introduced throughout the series. Abe was the first, Munch is the second. Squeek is the third according to rumors. After that there will be 2 more heros. So there is a chance that at least one of them is female.
|
Statikk, the original plot of Munch's Oddysee involved Munch trying to steal the last remaining jar of Gabbiar, and Abe trying to rescue the queen Mudokon Sam. Abe and Munch's situations were to have disagreed with each other, resulting in a dysfunctional relationship. Now that Sam has been taken out of the game, it seems like half the story is missing.
|
:
yeah, sex-wise we've seen:
BTW: what are Gabbits, super-species or like humans (what's that reproductive model called?)??? |
I would think that Gabbits are like fish, since they lay eggs, thats what the Gabbiar is, right? And RON, your sig is pretty disgusting, have an artichoke! ;)
|
No Sam? What in the hell?(don't blame me for not knowing this, Football and homework stole my soul for about 3 months) You need sam,without her why have shrinks! Please don't tell me they canned shrinks.
|
What the hey? Why is everyone talking female vs. male? In Oddworld, it has always been equal. At least that's what I think, not that anyone else seems to. To me, all those 399+ muds from the Abe games were a mixture a masculine and feminine. I mean, it says right on the freaky OW page that Abe "has no reproductive organs". Some of you don't seem to understand what that means. It means NEUTRAL!!! Not male - not female! Why is everyone so hooked up on this gender thing? Oddworld is not like Earth. There are not perverted stereotypes there like there are here (at least on genders. Some on species though)!
You know I am glad if they removed Queen Sam, if she was just a "Damsel in Distress" anyway, then why bother?? Abe isn't male--look at him! Inside and out, he has BOTH of the eearthly genderal stereotypes... His body: Broad shoulders, big feet, big hands,six-pack abs...masculine. Bust-waist-hip curves like a female's...also has the big eyes, which is a female stereotype...high, non-guteral voice...long hair. His soul (according to the stereotypes): Brave, fierce, (sometimes) violent, powerful, dominating (glukkonns). Sensative, emotional, shy, sympathetic, gentle. --- Now of course these are Stereotypes. I'm certainly not trying to say that guys can't be sympathetic or girls can't be fierce. But i just want to say that Oddworld is NOT a unigenderal planet! there is Yin AND Yang. Trust me. --Tybie_odd PS- sorry about the emotional outburst, but equality was always my favorite part about Oddworld! I really honor the OWI for being so consistant in their equal m/f inclusion, and their blasphemes against this so-called god, the Stereotype. Oddworld has been a very inspiring experience to me, and i suppose I'll die defending it. BTW: I also honor them above all game makers for never introducing sexual material into their games, and never using the "boy meets girl" plot. It has always been equal, always been positive, and always been Odd. |
Actually I read somewhere that Shrinks keep Maggie the Glukkon queen stable, but they might be with Sam too.
About what you said Gluk, I always thought of Gabbits as the same type as humans. But if that's true, then Gabbiar would be more plentiful. I mean, If there was only one cow left, we wouldn't run out of milk for a while. I don't know. Maybe Glukkons just REALLY overused it. Who knows. |
:
-- we still don't know the reproductive type of Elums... |
I don't think Sam has been taken out of MO. Probably she will not appear, but will certainly be part of the story, as Maggie, the glukkon queen.
|
Sam can't be away from the game, ok we don't see her, but we go to know stuff about her... It is say at the end off AE
