Your ideal adventure game?

Greetings dudes and dudettes of internets. tldr; yo

I'll cut the chase and just ask, what type of an adventure game would you prefer? I am not looking answers such as certain adventure game's name or maker but interested of hearing what type of qualities make a good adventure game in your opinion? Is it the puzzles? Storyline? Graphics? Something else maybe?

So if it was up to you, what would adventure game of your dreams be like? 

One that is challenging and stimulating, without bizarre solutions. An original storyline is a huge plus. Depending on the objective of the game, graphics may or may not be vital. I do like games that involve dialogue as part of the means of solution. However, dialogues are often lacking and seldom present real challenges to conduct. One thing that I have yet to see in an adventure game is more than one way to solve a problem, etc.

A good indication is what games you go back and replay. I'm almost done with probably my 4th playthrough of PS1 Tomb Raider 1, as well as 2 and 3. Demon's Souls and Dark souls I will play again many times, can't wait for Dark Souls 2. I am part way through my 3rd play of Fallout 3. I replay the PS1 Kings Field series occasionally. The before last Final Fantasy is one I will replay, the last one sucked. Most of the Resident Evil's I will replay. King's Field: the Ancient City for the PS2 is one I replay every couple years. Oblivion is another, not sure if I'll play Skyrim again. Borderlands 1 and 2.

I like my adventure games to be games that are long, have good stories and really cool puzzles. I'm playing Brothers at the moment and I guess its not an adventure game per se but it's really good. Pure adventure games tend to apply absolutely insane logic. I love it.

I'd say:

- Sense of mystery.

- Immersion/ambience.

- Revelations/discovery.

- So-so complex logical puzzles that are physically relevant and make sense.

- Beautiful scenery.

- Sense of progress and achievement.

I don't like:

- Attempts to comedy. That grows stale pretty quickly.

- Too much reading. Especially if puzzles are based on what I didn't read.

Examples of great adventure games (in the more traditional sense and of course in my opinion): Zork Nemesis, Myst 1/3/4 (mainly), Syberia 1/2, Amerzone, The Longest Journey 1/2, Penumbra 1/2/3, Portal 1/2 (puzzle more than adventure), Journeyman 1/2/3, Sanitarium, The Neverhood, Amnesia, Bad Mojo, Zork Grand Inquisitor, Broken Sword Sleeping Dragon

similar to Archimedean Dynasty / aquanox adventure would be cool

grew up with the police/kings/space quest adventure games. similar to those would be fun i think
