I think in the Tex Murphy games the FMV were all in cutscenes, separate from the 3D environments. So you'd see a film of a person during conversation, but once you went back to the 3D room to look around, the person wasn't there anymore.

Have you played Conspiracies? Remember how the people were like cardboard cutouts? If I'm understanding this right, that's the kind of thing that would happen if Myst V had FMV characters.

The 3D guy we saw in the Myst V demo was pretty incredible. I am a fan of FMV, but I think what Cyan has done is a nice blend of FMV and 3D. The gestures and facial expressions are realistic, and you don't have the weird sensation of the people not being an actual part of the place.
