I love this quote from Lorne Lanning in an interview with the GT Marketing Slig in 1999.

I take it Lorne was referring to Munch's Oddysee pre-butchery rather than to what we have today. (i.e. Sam, Maggie?)
As for the themes;
-War is definately one that I would like to see.
-Betrayal
-Differing perspectives (terrorist/freedom fighter issue)
-Female inhabitants
Another thing I'd like to see would be the Oddworld take on human politics, (lies, corruption, deceit.) One thing I'd really want to find out is who the real leaders of Oddworld actually are (There must be someone above Lady Margaret.)
