well the first time I saw oddworld was when my step brother brought over abes oddysee on his PS1, I wasn't that effected by the moral side of things cause I wasn't old enough to understand also my step brother was always killing the mudokons and encouraged me to do the same, I eventially bought a copy of abes exoduss when I saw it in eb games (it was the only copy so I jumped at it), the soulstorm brew plotline is probably what keeps me from drinking too much alcohol, unfortunately before I could finish the game it somehow got lost soon after I showed it to my step brother, after mum broke up with my former step father and they moved out the entire room was picked apart and my copy of oddworld abes exoduss was not found, after extensive searches in game stores and finding no oddworld whatsoever I convinced my father to look on ebay, I eventially got both abes oddysee and exoduss for $50 each, but as dad was searching ebay he found a version of abes exoduss with my name written in liquid paper exactly as it was written on the copy of exoduss I had bought from eb games years erlier, I can only conclude that my step brother stole my version of abes exoduss and after he was done with it sold it on ebay, so that reinforced my negative view on stealing, after buying the games on ebay I was finally old enough to understand the moral implications behind the game which probably made me a more moral person myself, I got munch's oddysee and strangers wrath a while after they were released in order to afford them as I wasn't exactly the richest kid in school (closer to one of the poores't kids in school) I often found myself repeating quotes from all four of the oddworld games to the point were my family thought I was going crazy, I tried playing coop abes exoduss with my dad once but all that happened was he got angry cause I couldn't explain every single thing in the game even though there were signs telling him what to do, he was all "how do I do this" and then yelling at me when it took me a while to explain, that pretty much covers everything
