Speak

[moodokon man]

Are there any creatures that don’t speak English on oddworld?

most probly would not... we just havent met them yet... the creatures that don’t speak English that I know of are Scrabs and Paramites (but you need AE to know that).

[gooseofthehouse]

hi, don't forget the creatures you can't possess like slurgs, slogs and fleechs

It's just like in science fiction movies... where they travel to the vast reaches of space... and come across an alien race... and you've got it... they speak English! Unless it's like Star Trek and there is a universal translator.

But my guess is that all "speaking" races on Oddworld would speak English for this reason.

It'd be hard to use Gamespeak if it were in an Odd language!

Abe Babe...

well i thing they have a different language but (BTW I hate languages ) but for better understanding they talk english

In France the characters on Oddworld speak French. Now that's a funny coincidence, isn't it.

OWI must just translate from the Oddworld Language, like the Babel Fish does in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Hey ho.

I guess they will never ever make a Dutch version for me, not that I want one. It would probably be a bad translation without the great humor, and the voices would be done by somebody else (dubbed) so they wouldn't sound original. I guess I would hate it. Isn't it the same with the French version?
Sometimes the English is hard to understand, especialy when they use non-common English, but I prefer it that way.

[freakyLA]

well i think the english version is much better because sometimes the humor isn´t that great. And the voices are silly

I dont think that the creatures that you can't possess like slurgs, slogs and fleechs have anuff intelegence to have a language... after all thats why Abe can't possess them, because their not smart anuff for his soul to be stored in (or something like that)... to add to this there is no evidence to sugest this.
Though Abe has been abill to possess more and more unintelegent creatures through out the games... But this could simply show that Abe is getting smarter or is now abill to compress his soul better then befor...
... Maybe Mudukons get better with practice and thats why ordenary Mudukons can not possess even sligs (sligs are dumber then Mudukons).
