Where's the Poetry?
 
In AO and AE there was a poetic pase that Abe spoke in. In MO its just basic dialouge... Where's the poetry??. I sure hope it returns, what about you?

Personally, I found the poetry a bit tedious, plus it was very simple. I prefer the diolouge, as it makes me feel more immersed in the game.
Anyway, a reason why OWI may have decided to lose the poetry, could be because it took longer to express things (like rhyming every word) and they may have wanted to focus on the actual games.
These are just my ideas, does anyone else have any? :D

yeah I want the poetry back!
especially things like the "prophecy" in the begin of AE

I hope they bring the poetry back.

It sorta adds a mystical feeling to the game.

I wont the mistic back too...
MO wasn't mistic at all, maybe a bit with the Allmighty raisin, but not many more

I like the poetry in AO, but I can't find it in AE. Where is it?

I don't know MO very well, because I haven't got an xbox :( . But the Vykkers and BigBro Sligs are cool! :D

There was a poem in the beggining of AE, and some more subtle snip-its throuhout the dialouge I'm sure. AO did go a little overboard, almost all of Abe's narrative was in poem form.

I don't think that listening to Munch rhym would be as good aslistening to Abe.:fuzwink:

Xavier 09-01-2002 08:31 AM

good point, but abe is still here, he can maybe evoc a prophecy to learn something to munch or something like that, it could be cool
