After reading a related thread at Quandary, I'm thoroughly confused about the meaning of direct control. I always though that keyboard control and direct control were synonymus. I also thought that direct control is only used when refering to 3rd person games (moving an avatar around). In the same vein, I've always assumed point and click meant mouse control. Is there such a thing as direct control with only a mouse and in 1st person perspective?
