Status : Online | Harriet, action/adventure just may not be for you. BUT if you are willing to give them a try, may I recommend Deus Ex and No One Lives Forever (1 and 2)?
These games reward stealth, which requires the same skills as shooting, really: a quick eye and fast fingers. Oh, and an ear wide open doesn't hurt either.
If you are patient, though, I think the story lines, graphics, and music in these games will enthrall you.
Deus Ex, as mentioned in an earlier posting by someone also recommending it, has an extremely deep, intricate, and somewhat dark story line (and 4 possible endings, for heaven's sakes!). It is set in the near future and has some science fiction themes, but there is tons of interaction with everyday people and also tons to figure out plotwise. I was immersed in it for months (only get to play on weekends, don't you know?)....
NOLF 1 and 2 will leave you breathless and laughing your head off. Some of the funniest stuff I have seen in a game can be found here. The music is stylish and appropriate to the overall 1960's spy theme and the graphics (particularly in 2) are wonderful. The spirit of these games is light, with the occasional tense mission thrown in just to keep some spy credibility, I imagine! There is plenty of action, but if you ask me, I can (dare I say it?) tell you how to cheat a bit to make it easier....not every player is a dead-eye draw, after all.
Anyway, you might test your action appetite with these tasty treats. Do let us know which of the many menu items offered in this thread you decide to sample, ok?
