Shamans
 
Shamans, we have seen the air shaman with his smart arse ways, but we have not seen:

Earth Shaman
Fire Shaman
Water Shaman,

i wonder what they look like and can each control their element?

Ditto'd. I've never heard of him either.

Xavier 12-01-2002 04:32 PM

strange MOM hasn't replied yet, he allways reply at everything

M.O.M 12-01-2002 05:12 PM

isnt the spirtual guide that helps abe a Air Shaman?

Majic 12-01-2002 05:13 PM

Thats what you said... So lets think here, where did you find that out?

M.O.M 12-01-2002 05:15 PM

I swear i either saw it on the official oddworld site or its mentioned in the game

is that in a good way or a bad way

EDIT: sorry about the double post but it wont let me delete it

Xavier 12-01-2002 05:17 PM

I checked the site once again it isn't on it, and I didn't heard that in the game...

M.O.M 12-01-2002 05:18 PM

well is he the air shaman or not

Majic 12-01-2002 05:19 PM

Its not in the game... I'll search around on the sight and look. If your right that'd be pretty cool. To see different shamans.

Xavier 12-01-2002 05:20 PM

well, I guess you aren't right... I checked where I could and saw nothing about an AIR shaman, last time: where did you saw it?

M.O.M 12-01-2002 05:21 PM

Still If he isnt, his skin colour and feathers look like a airy coulor dont they

Majic 12-01-2002 05:25 PM

Not really.. he was just purple and stuff. Like other shamans and junk.

M.O.M 12-01-2002 05:27 PM

oh I was imagining, each shaman (if there are any) would have different coloured feathers like

Air = purple/light blue
Earth = Green/Brown
Fire = Red/Orange
Water = Dark Blue/purple

BigBro 12-01-2002 11:57 PM

Even if it is or isnt true, the idea of Elemental Shamans is rather intriguing, especially when MOM says that.^ Sounds interesting.

Facsimile 12-02-2002 01:18 AM

Is there one Shaman on MO or is it many?

Xavier 12-02-2002 03:55 AM

hum there in only one shaman in MO...
plus I find it incredibly stupid and unoriginal to have a shaman for each ellement.

Owi deserve better than that

BigBro 12-02-2002 07:49 AM

Why do you think that, Xav? As I said, I think its a pretty cool idea. Just for a bit of variety maybe they should have more than one Shaman. And, if need be, they could all control a different element.

oko 12-02-2002 02:56 PM

yeah same here and that shaman in MO really look's like an air shaman

Xavier 12-02-2002 04:15 PM

simply that elements stuff if over used and becoming very boring...
It's simply something unoriginal and I hope OWI will do something more original then that...

M.O.M 12-02-2002 06:51 PM

I see what you mean but once in a while it is good

TheKhanzumer 12-02-2002 11:35 PM

I wonder if there would be...
 
an Elemental Shaman of Fart.


But seriously, I agree with Xavier. Having a group of elemental characters is a theme that is way overused. However, I think it would be interesting to see Abe (or any other future characters) control flames, electricity, wind, water, etc... in a similar way that he possesed his farts. Could lead to some interesting gaming elements. No pun intended.

THAT can be intresting... I'm glad you get my point khanz

BigBro 12-03-2002 08:57 AM

Oh I got your point, Xav, but I just wanted you to tell me the reasons why you thought that. I can see your point on the fact that some elemental things have been overused, but I just thought it would be an interesting aspect to the game.

Xavier 12-03-2002 03:29 PM

hmmmm abe alone controling amasing things can be nice but not that elements things again...

M.O.M 12-03-2002 03:33 PM

Isee what you mean, think about there are so many games and movies that use elements, it is getting a tad boring now

Facsimile 12-25-2002 11:23 PM

I have it, I have the information M.O.M needs.

I believe this would have been where M.O.M picked up on the Air part.

Oddsville 12-26-2002 12:12 AM

Hmmmm.... I don't remeber reading that? From my knowledge I always considered that the MO shaman was dead? I know I read that somewhere along time ago but mabye the idea was scrapped? I mean if you look at his eye's he looks kinda....dead, but then again my other sources say that its just old age?

Xavier 12-27-2002 07:10 AM

death? sorry but he doesn't look like a spirit to me.

hmm I wonder what your sources are, plus yeah he must be pretty old
