It's not bad design, it's a design. I love adventure games as they are, and for people like me they're designed perfectly. I mean, a whole lot of them, of which Gabriel Knight is not a part (I don't like its gameplay at all), are.

To address the subject: I didn't see a list of the games you've played but didn't enjoy as much as you would have liked to. That would be helpful to understand your concern.
Perhaps a good list of recommendation is what you need, more than philosophical musings.

And yes, adventure gaming is a skill that you develop. I used to be awful at AGs (I couldn't manage to pass Monkey Island's three trials, back then), and now most puzzles feel pretty easy to me.
