sure, you go after morpheus, I'll get the keymakers key and go to the source and shoot the architect.

When one first finds this game, it is easy to think that you can do anything. But alas, it is not to be. The source, the chateau, the Le Vrai restaurant, the interior of metacortex, the Hotel Lafayette (from the first movie) and the blackwood construct simply do not exist. Otherwise morpheus would have been freed ages ago, and the architect and the merovingian would be long dead (bad for story).

The Chateau exists

A Merv Construct that looks like the Chateau exists.

There's dialogue for Blackwood in the packmaps, but like so many other dialogue listings, it exists simply to reference a feature that never made it ingame, like Oracle saying "I'll follow you, We've arrived, Wait There," etc.

Yeah and a couple of Merovingian soundbites saying stuff like, "I'll have you thrown into the Blackwoods for this!"

Why even call it "Blackwood" anyway? The Merovingian likes cake so why not take the obsession (or maybe more appropriately- the fetish) even further and call his terrible Dungeon of Doom... "Black Forest"?

Just saying.

Blackwood puts me in mind of black thorn, a now sadly extinct plant with black bark and very thick, formidable thorns that used to grow in Ireland and was used to make equally formidable walking sticks.
