You experience adventure games pretty differently from how I do.

Also note that "merit" and "enjoyment" are different things.

Of course they are. "Enjoyment" is something that can objectively defined, "merit" means whatever you want it to.

That is not really how I experience adventure games, but given the context of comparing a discussion with finding buttons to push, I thought it was apt :)

As for merit vs. enjoyment, I believe that the best merit of discussions is the enjoyment one can derive from it.
