Oddworld Questions and Answers III -

KintoKid · #**391** 11-15-2005, 05:37 PM

Hey. This question isn't related to Oddworld as much as it is to Lorne Lanning.

Does anyone recall the EGM he was in, where they showed a few pictures of inside his house? Or does anyone have copies of these pictures online?

Thanks.

*Edit*

Nevermind, I found it. It's in the March 2004 issue, for anyone else who may be wondering.

Isnt that big godlike statue awesome! ( the one in his library)

metroixer · #**393** 11-21-2005, 03:52 PM

Now i'm not trying to be sick or anything but do paramites and scrabs give birth or lay eggs? Can I also see some pictures of infents please?

I too have a question. In rupturefarms, how can they make the products they make if the animal shrivels away when it is killed? If they kill the animals, then they can't use the meat, right?

Cullen Heath · #**395** 11-21-2005, 05:40 PM

They probabley dont kill em until they are in Rupture Farms, that way they can put them in meat grinders.

used:) · #**396** 11-21-2005, 06:19 PM

Yeah, but then the meat would turn bad in the meat grinders. And yes, they do keep them alive until they get to Rupture Farms (stock yards).

Cullen Heath · #**397** 11-21-2005, 06:36 PM

I dont know? Maybe they use the meat right away.

I went from no stars-slurg to one star-gabiwog. OK.

question: How come, that many others have three stars, but different "characters"?
(slig popper, glukkon pud etc.)

Can you choose what you want to be, or what?

Cullen Heath · #**399** 11-22-2005, 06:58 AM

No you cant choose. You earn those by number of posts,but please dont try to be all "cool" and post crummy posts just to get some more, they will come in time.

I believe this is the order of creatures and when you will become them:

Slurg: 1 post

Gabbiwog: 20 posts

Mudokon scrub: 35 posts

Slig bouncer: 50 posts

Glukkon wanna be: 75 posts

Im not sure if those are right and I dont know anymore after that. You can search for it to find out.

MeechMuncher · #**400** 11-22-2005, 07:50 AM

OK, thanks, but that still dosn´t explain the stars.
what do they mean?

Cullen Heath · #**401** 11-22-2005, 08:23 AM

I dont know about the stars, I was actually wondering myself.

metroixer · #**402** 11-22-2005, 08:35 AM

Read the pondering of posts topic. Anyway can anyone answer my question?

Cullen Heath · #**403** 11-22-2005, 08:57 AM

I would think that Paramites would give birth and Scrabs would lay eggs.

***Nate*** · #**404** 11-22-2005, 09:39 AM

The stars and titles thing is off-topic. There is a thread in Forum Suggestions and Help that explains all about them (take a looksie over here). In any case, both stars and titles change as you get more posts, but at different rates.

I think that paramites and scrabs would use the same birth-method because they are related species (they didn't even have unique names in the early stages of the AO production process). I suspect they lay eggs but I'm not sure.

metroixer · #**405** 11-22-2005, 10:09 AM

Well what about a picture of infants? I never really saw any younglins(star wars

) in oddworld.

Cullen Heath · #**406** 11-22-2005, 10:35 AM

I once saw a picture of 2 baby Mudokons, look on google.

***Xavier*** · #**407** 11-22-2005, 10:48 AM

in the black end of MO you can see some baby muds

oh BTW:

***Wil*** · #**408** 11-22-2005, 10:58 AM

No pictures of baby Scrabs or Paramites, and no idea how they produce their young. They both have nests, but that's not really related to whether they lay eggs or give birth to live young.

metroixer · #**409** 11-22-2005, 11:09 AM

Ahh thank you thank you.

Maybe they kill the baby whiles it's still a fetus, that way it hasn't really died to be able to shrivle away.

Cullen Heath · #**411** 11-22-2005, 03:27 PM

I would think that they would simply take the Paramite or Scrab over to Rupture Farms, stich it in a meat grinder and instantley make a tasty treat!

The Marching Mudokon · #**412** 11-23-2005, 12:35 AM

I think the designers made the dead Oddworld creatures fizzle away because the system couldn't handle a whole bunch of dead creatures on the screen, but I'm just guessing here. Besides it would get annoying having your screen full of dead bodies-it would make it harder to see.

***Nate*** · #**413** 11-23-2005, 10:26 AM

Completely correct. But we at the forums try to find in-world explanations for the game events.

***Xavier*** · #**414** 11-23-2005, 10:29 AM

creatures fizzle away in game because of some nano organisms that made them rot very fast, the grinders in RF probably have some devices to get rid of the nano organisms...

by the way this was 100% speculation

MeechMuncher · #**415** 11-24-2005, 01:00 AM

Does anybody known what creature those big ribcages u can see everywhere in RF comes from?
The´r huge!
It can´t be scrabs, they are too small. Could it be from Meeches maby?

***Wil*** · #**416** 11-24-2005, 05:03 AM

I'm doubtful that they're Meeches, as they're extinct, though OWI have clarrified that the last box of Meech Munchies shipped in Abe's Oddysee suggesting that they're only very, very recently extincted. If that's the case, they could still feasibly be the carcasses of once-Meeches.

Thinking about it, they are actually he-uge! They've almost as big as the skeletons in Munch's Oddysee.

Cullen Heath · #**417** 11-24-2005, 08:59 AM

They are for sure not Meeches. My guess is that they are either Elums or those Scorpions in Munch's Oddysee.

***Wil*** · #**418** 11-24-2005, 10:09 AM

:

They are for sure not Meeches.

Why not?

I doubt they're Elums, which have ribcages smaller than Scrabs'. It could be a 1%er, but since they more than likely weren't designed when Abe's Oddysee went out, it wouldn't have been intentional. We also have no reference to the size of 1%ers or their ribcages.

MeechMuncher · #**419** 11-24-2005, 10:18 AM

What "scorpions"? Are you refering to those huge skelletons in MO?
By the way, what are they?

***Nate*** · #**420** 11-24-2005, 10:45 AM

We had not official comment but we concluded that the skeletons in MO were searexes that had become trapped when an inland sea retracted.
