Well, my absolute favourite adventure games, and this isn't why I like them, it's just a feature I guess, you actually can't die. I mean, there is one part in Syberia where you can die, but there's like a 10 second task and you get maybe a minute to complete it, but that's it. I guess they are more like novels. I don't think you can die in The Longest Journey either, maybe something with the...spoilers...spacesuit or whatever.
You can definitely die in this game, not with proper tactical planning, but there is a lot more to it than pointing and clicking. Still, a history in adventure gaming certainly does lessen the frustration some hardcore rpgers might be facing.
