Do you think when (if) the Quintology continues, Munch will be sidelined, and Abe will continue on with his destiny alone? Considering the feedback of Munch as a character, I don't see the likelihood of our friendly neighbourhood Gabbit hopping his way into Nolybab. Even ignoring his presence from a meta-standpoint, a handicap, water-bound, belching sidekick doesn't exactly seem like the ideal backup for a renowned terrorist who can possess any living creature, force said creatures to spontaneously combust, and occasionally transform into a literal God.

Damn, Abe sounds badass when you say it like that!

In one of his recent interviews, Lorne said that he has learnt his lesson about an identifiable protagonist, and that constantly introducing another member to the party with each instalment would be a burden upon the audience. I wonder what that means for Squeek.
Personally I would rather see Abe as the main protagonist throughout the rest of the series, instead of him being a sidekick for every new game moving forward. Lorne should turn the idea around and have focus on Abe who then encounters and helps these 4 other 'heroes' during his own quests. Similar in a way to MO, except the focus was too much on Munch and his half arsed story (which was also due to the troubled development Manco mentioned).
