In fact I have every belief that AGs can come up with stories that are just as good as, if not better, than those in books and on tv.

Also as far as story is concerned I think TLJ and Dreamfall really stand out.
No, as I said, to me, adventure games are all about well constructed and clued puzzles. Progression in the genre, to me, is to have less ridiculous puzzles(betetr clued and less wacky nonsensical puzzles), less pixel hunting, and easier navigation in the first person adventures.

TLJ had a cute story and all, but the puzzles are what made me enjoy it. Dreamfall was a joke and I didn't make it past 30 minutes because there was no soul... just connect the dots to hear more story.
