Games are boring.

I don't think it's the gameplay.

Are there any games with an intelligent concept or plot, or in the least ones that can be taken seriously and don't either have slapstick humor (Planescape) or a corny basis (Xenogears)?

Oh and can't forced Arcanum. While being created by pretty much those who ere behind Fallout it retains same humour, but it's not as pervasive as in Fallout. It has very interesting world too. Think industrialising Victorian Britain, but in fantasy form. Downside is that combat system is not very well executed.
