Yeah, I tended to use Camera Relative because I was used to platformers as the time, and didn't like having to rotate the character before I could move in the direction they were facing (I just like being able to press the key and run in that direction straight away).

Neither control system was perfect for me, but I chose Camera Relative at the time because it seemed more direct and less like I was trying to control a car.

Really thought the controls in games like Monkey island 4 detracted from the experience. You'd be walking around a whole lot and what you were walking towards might not be usable in anyway, would just be backdrop which looked like it could be used. Much easier to move mouse over and note that it's not an object I'd think.

I liked the way Gabriel Knight 3 did it. Allowing you a FPS view to move around the world, but still point/clicking to move the character. Also Normality had fairly direct control in that you walked FPS style, but to manipulate the world you'd need to be in front of something and use the mouse to manipulate it.
