Maybe it's just an ambiant joke. Like one you aren'y supposed to notice in the dialogue.

Well that certainly failed spectacularly then, Dipstikk.

Al, I don't think the Looten Duke in the only 'orc', as D. Caste Raider also looks to belong to the same species, and neither are exactly the same as the one from the Christmas Card. Since there are several on the first Stranger logo, I'm guessing there are several generic 'orcs' in the game, and these two outlaws are more fleshed out characters.

True. They could've been a bit more delicate about it and NOT have put it in the Xbox special.

It was probably just meant to be funny, or to prove that they're hics.

Maybe we shouldn't jump all over this "pig thing." Yeah, I know I started it, but we're just talking about a video game(one I worship ) when it comes down to it. I mean, AE had Abe possessing his own farts for crying out loud!

But oddguy - there's nothing wrong with possessing your own farts (all power to ya!) - it's when continuity is suddenly zapped that gets fans' hackles up. SoBe didn't belong in MO at all; I'm just ultra happy it wasn't in my version of the game, but I completely sympathise with the fans who were looking forward to an Oddworld experience, only to have an Earth product shoved in their face. It breaks up the integrity of Oddworld.

I do agree... no cut and paste earth products on Oddworld
it just spoils the experience...
So glad Europeans don't have the SoBe Stuff

I liked the Sobe machines in the game.

*ducks*

It may be just me, but the Sobe presence made it seem as if big Industry on OW had a tie with Earth...since they were distributing their product.

Of course, it could just be blatent product placement.

:
Upon reading those card things, i do think that Stranger will be hunting the Outlaws
I guess that make sense. I wonder why we ever thought that outlaws would be chasing a bounty hunter when the other way round is so much more logical

We didn't know they were outlaws then.
