I'm a little confused. Do we control the Nephiliams directly, or are we just pointing and saying 'fuck dat up.'

Directly, for the most part. Has to do with their armor; you have to be close (internal or at least saddle-close) to make them fully animate. They're not wholly immobile when you're not piloting them, but they're not capable of doing much beyond basic locomotion without that direct conduit to your power.
