Hurray, a pair of legs!

While playing the Mirrors Edge demo recently I saw something that I have been missing in FPS games for a long time, a pair of legs on the main character.

Normally when I look down in FPS games I get the feeling that I'm playing as a floating orb rather than something with a humanoid shape (i.e. something with two arms and two legs). It has never been a major issue, but I always felt the invisible legs broke the feeling of immersion a game can create (and the same goes for buttons getting pressed and levers getting moved without any hand touching them).

I know it is a detail that can be a lot of hard work to add, but I'm hoping that more games in the future show working legs and hand on the main character.
