I think it would be great if OWI took the piss out of gaming a bit, without making it too obvious, of course. The 'Bosses' are a great example, if that's what they're actually an example of, of course. A while back, when the topic of Mudokon reproduction cropped up, the idea arose of there being Mudokon 'princesses' to take over from a dying queen. I thought it would be a tad biting to have Abe have to rescue them from towers or castles.
And I hope, too, that we don't end up with conventional bosses. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the 'Bosses' turned up in gameplay to kind of act as the end of a chapter (taking AIA's reference to bookends a little further), but I'm sure OWI would have that fit, and not seem an attempt to conform to mainstream gaming.
