Hey guys!  We’ve been working on a cartoon Point & Click adventure and I’m working on the player control schemes now.  I’d love to get your opinions.  When playing a Point & Click, you you prefer a Pure Mouse & Keyboard experience (Like Monkey Island)or you you like using a gamepad and having direct control of your character (like The Walking Dead)?

Personally, I prefer a full mouse control, especially if it’s a 2D, 3rd-person game. Keyboard-based controls often annoy me, and I don’t own a gamepad, but I may not be representative of the adventure gamer population

If this is a classic inventory-based adventure game, a point and click interface (mouse control by pointing and clicking the mouse to interact with inventory) is by far the easiest to use.
