Abel is a character who was set to appear in Dead Island, but was cut from the final version of the game. Abel was set to be involved with a quest around making "Moonshine". The reason he was cut is unknown.
Not much is known about Abel. He didn't have an in-game model yet created, or a set location. He could have been anywhere in the game, however from what dialogue that's been recovered, it'd be either the Jungle or Moresby, from what he says about ammo. From the dialogue recovered, the quest was likely either a continuous quest or a short side quest, as a lot of the dialogue sounds like something a survivor would say if they're rewarding a continuous quest, namely this line "Keep looking. I don't be all high and dry".
Dialog[]
The original dialog from Abel can still be found in the game's text files.
- Where are you mothers going, man? Come here!
- Name's Abel. And I'm a little wasted.
- Been imbibing my own product.
- You like moonshine? You don't wanna face these fuckers sober. Shit.
- I'm running a little bit low. It's my granddaddy's recipe. From Boone County, Kentucky, friends. Anyway, this stuff'll make you stand up and say howdy.
- If you can wrangle me up some sugar and rice or potatoes or anything starchy, I'll be glad to make some more. Shit could be anywhere.
- I'll trade you food, ammo, whatever the fuck you want. What do you say?
- You bring me what I need and I'll make you some killer moonshine.
- So you decided to help out old Abel after all? Rice or taters or whatever you can find, man. And I'll give you whatever. Within reason.
- Alright then. You just gotta find me rice or tater and sugar.
- Fine then. Fuck you very much.
- I got a shitload of demand and very little supply right now man. What's going on?
- Keep looking. I don't be all high and dry.
- Fuck yeah...Thanks man. I gotta lot people buying this shit up. So you can bring me whatever you can find and I will make it worth your while.
