If you haven't played it already, I recommend the underrated FMV adventure
Dark Side of the Moon (1998): strong, intriguing story, puzzles that make perfect sense in the game world, very non-linear gameplay. You even get to make choices that have real consequences. For instance, early in the game you can choose to report a boy to a security guard or let him get away. Guess what happens when you meet the boy again later...
DSotM has a few drawbacks. Lots of diskswapping (unless you find the DVD version), no subtitles and a small playing window, which you get used to pretty soon. But I loved it.
@squinky:
Your system of "affinity points" is new to me, but there have been adventures with choices that influence the outcomes in various ways. All of them FMV (at least the ones I can think of right now) and I don't think that's a coincidence.
