Just a quick note to say thanks to svcklead again. I've just given Dark Corners another go with the new patch and, dude, it's so much fun...! Being able to select levels is a wonderful thing, but getting the hand back is FANTASTIC!I was so sad to see this feature dropped and, while I can see that it's not exactly the most assured execution, I really enjoy the version you've uncovered. Attack of the Fishmen (now that the game has trained me to the required level of choreography) is much more fun with the hand. I'm a big fan of the concept of a virtual body in games (Thief III, Hitman, Escape from Butcher Bay etc...) and this seems like a real advance - it strongly ties your physical presence to the world around you.Like I've said before, fly mode is a godsend if you really want to appreciate the almost painful levels of detail found in Dark Corners. In fact, it's often the only way to appreciate some once-off little pieces of design within the levels.If I could get two more options, I'd ask for the ability to turn off the film grain effects and the ability to inspect the Asylum cut-scene levels. Ehh... it's hard not to want more of a good thing...! =)Thanks again!All the best, --RoB
