I don't know if anyone's mentioned it, but I always thought it was kind of -odd- that you began rescuing Mudokons in the first level. Who told Abe he could chant to open portals? That seems like something he'd have picked up in his travels through Monsaic Lines. I always felt like the escape from Rupturefarms should have been dedicated to learning the controls and that returning to Rupturefarms to rescue Mudokons should have been the reason Abe was brought to Monsaic Lines in the first place.
That's what the story was originally going to be. Abe was also meant to have the stitches in his lips cut when he reached Monsaic Lines, enabling him to speak for the first time.

If I remember correctly, OWI decided to allow players full control of Abe (chanting and speech) from the onset so that the gameplay would be rich from the beginning of the game. For the planned AO movie, they wanted to use the original story
