Why does Amnesia have absolutely no idle movement?!

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Nobody said it was. What I said was that creating a whole body for the Main Character would be more effort than just having an arm floating in the air.

Anyway, my theory is that, since the lantern swings physically from the hand if you move around, they chose a very subtle idle animation so it wouldn't wildly swing around all the time (especially since there's a light source linked to it).

Besides - if I hold an object in front of my face with one hand, my hand isn't doing any noticeable idle movements either. Its just some veeeeery subtle muscle twitches if you look closely but nothing of this exaggerated up-down-movement...
