I have another wish:
Though the game clearly won't fit my ideal (as sort-of-explained here and here), (which I guess is for the best when you consider how conservative the vast majority of suggestions are, to the extent that there are actual complaints that the single released screenshot does not have identical decoration to a screenshot for the original game, (which is insane to me,)) but I think it would be pretty cool if possession was an ability Abe discovered after escaping RuptureFarms. It's quite strange that he begins with magical spiritual powers - it sort of undermines one of the key themes of spiritual reawakening from the vacuous industrial world and the reconnection to nature and noble nativeness etc.
Also I don't think he should have the ability to rescue other slaves until he returns.

anyway despite my previous two posts i linked above hoping for a proper reimagining that one screenshot does look pretty good

I suggested that Blue Mudokons have a more potent chant than green ones. That would explain why you need several green muds to open doors in Munch, and why green muds don't chant in AO/AE (except for the ones that give out spirit rings).

So yeah, accept that as canon and the whole thing makes more sense. Or don't, doesn't bother me.
