i agree with you guys, in adventure game STORY/writing is the king, if the story is not compelling enough everything else usually falls apart.
(please note that i'm not saying other aspect is not important)
btw I also play Mass Effect, and i enjoy it very much.
I suck at the shooting action part though, but watching how the story unfold, and making decision here and there in the dialog tree, exploring the world & completing all the quests, it feels awesome.
Same as adventure game like Dreamfall, Monkey Island, etc... the story is what makes me keep playing because i want to know what's gonna happen next, and how it will reach the end.
However once in a while i also want to play adventure game that focus more on the inventory puzzle, that's why as quirky as it is i also love Touch Detective series (for my inventory puzzle fix) and also "escape the room" game.
