I think a simple change in dialogue could do wonders in conveying what the Mudokon's feel towards Abe throughout the game. Much like how Abe's greeting in AE would change depending on your Quarma.
Near the beginning, when Abe asks a fellow to follow him, he could reply with a hesitant "Uh... okay."
Once you've rescued enough guys, the hesitant response could simply become "okay". If you've worked towards getting good Quarma, and live up to your name as a savior, they would start to respond more enthusiastically. "Okay!", or perhaps even some of the peppier soundbites from MO like "Hey, it's Abe!".
If your Quarma is static or poor, the Mudokons would retain their hesitancy throughout. Perhaps in the end you come across a few that are just downright pissed or depressed as well.
