Now that I think about it, a post I made in a previous thread probably applies here:

Adventures require a precision of positioning that I find irritating to achieve with direct control.

But now that I've been reminded of the GK3 interface, I *loved* that interface. It was cool to be able to zoom the camera around, and you could do it fluidly, meaning not having to worry about getting "snagged" or falling off a cliff or anything. Then once you found something interesting, you could just interact with it and Gabriel/Grace would automatically come over, so you didn't have to worry about precise positioning.
I had a lot of fun with that interface, because it combined the fun parts of direct control with the useful parts of PNC getting rid of the annoying parts of direct control.
