I think Oddworld is definitely a reflection of our own state of affairs but in Oddworld I think it's simplified somewhat. There's very definite groups that can be easily categorised into ‘right they’re evil’ and ‘they’re the good guys’. But in out own world the lines between them are not so clear or defined but indistinct.
Not necessarily. Lorne has said repeatedly that the motivations of the characters are not black and white, that there is no true good and evil on Oddworld. That's the point he was trying to make in showing us Magog on the March and also if we would have ever got to play Hand of Odd.

Obviously we have only thus far played native/oppressed characters but I suspect that later on in the quintology we will play as an industrialised species.
