Well, I certainly don't mind action and turn-based strategy- I like to think I'm a pretty open-minded guy. I have no prejudices against any type of game other than the FPS. But if I want that type of game, I'll play Zelda. For that matter, I do play Zelda! But that's not what I'm looking for here. Okay, so I'll accept for the moment that most adventure games are more about puzzles than about story. Is there a minority which cares at all about telling a good story unhindered?

The concept of first-person adventures makes no sense to me. If you're going to tell a good story, you need a character the player can learn about. With a first-person perspective, you are the character! So that's a very bad format for telling a story. I want third-person. How about Syberia? I've heard that it's pretty straightforward?
