Oddworld Questions and Answers Vα

This is, in fact, the second time I’ve had to create the fifth incarnation of the Questions and Answers thread (for the curious, that’s a Roman numeral 5 followed by a minuscule Greek alpha). So thank you everyone who has contributed to that necessity. I hope you know how appreciative I am.

Here is where you post the Oddworld‐related queries that you don't expect will raise a discussion of their own. I will iterate the importance of first consulting The Unofficial Oddworld FAQ, which answers many frequently‐asked questions.

For reference, here are the past incarnations:
Oddworld Questions and Answers
Oddworld Questions and Answers 2
Oddworld Questions and Answers III
Oddworld Questions and Answers IV

As of version four, the Q&A thread has also been used for Picture Requests. This separate series of threads was stopped when The Oddworld Graphics Gallery (TOGG) opened, which hosts practically every Oddworld image ever released (excepting website graphics, magazine scans and photographs). Also available are three threads specialising in custom screenshots of Oddworld games:
Abe’s Oddysee screen captures ~ Stranger’s Maid
Abe’s Exoddus screen captures ~ dripik_12
Munch’s Oddysee screen captures ~ Stranger’s Maid
Stranger’s Wrath screen captures ~ Stranger’s Maid.

Although many of the picture links will be broken, it has become a tradition to list all the past Picture Request threads. So here they are:
Picture Request
Picture Request Second Edition
Picture Request № III
Picture Request № 4
Picture Request Fifth Edition
Picture Request Number IV
Picture Request № Se7en
Picture Request Version 8·0

Whew! That’s it…

p.s. Except to add a contents feature, which is a feature that always would have benefited these long threads like Q&A and WDYLL.
