Thoughts on the crafting/pickpocketing?

[meech121]

Apparently Soulstorm will have a crafting system. You'll be able to craft stuff like bombs and distracters. And possibly pickpocket moolah and materials.

Do these elements fit into the Oddworld franchise? What are your thoughts on crafting in general? Does Oddworld need "modern elements" to compete with today's games?

I hate crafting. Haaaate. I'm sick of the sight of it. It's like every game these days has either crafting, zombies or lootcrates. It's the unholy triptych of shite. If I see one "Mudombie" I will flip the fuck out.

Mudombies sound cool. I wanna see mudombies. Don't call them that, though.

[Dead Meat]

Zombokons? http://zombo.com/? Mombies? Nah, don't call them any of that, please.

[DWeedMan]

Mudokombies.

Mudombies were planned to appear in Abe's Exoddus since the beginning, of which Soulstorm is some kind of a vague remake/retelling. That was 20 years ago. I think it's about time we got to see them.

I like the sound of it.

I'm not looking forward to crafting. Inventory could be interesting though.

I think pick-pocketing is rude. I wouldn't do that to another person.

[Nepsotic]

You're just saying that because the last guy caught you touching his ass.

[Havoc]

Pick pocketing should be interesting, given that Sligs don't have fucking pockets.

Sure they do. Where else do they keep all the stuff to pickpocket?

That's ok, one Slig I pickpocketed had a rope in his pocket. I can climb out of this thread anytime.

Hydraulic slig pants, now with Big Metal Pockets™. (Female slig hydraulic pants do not have Big Metal Pockets™).

You just ruined that Slig's day. He had plans for that rope.

Right up there with Oddworld creatures having or not having a penis

That is *the* most important discussion we should be regularly returning to, not wasting our time worrying about this whole pickpocketing thing....

I think Alex did him a huge favor by taking it away.

Yeah, auto-erotic asphyxiation is super dangerous.
