Does Adventure Have To Involve Combat
I have recently been rereading The Hobbit and was struck by the way problem are solved as much with violence as they are with quick thinking, compassion, and riddles. There is also a fair share of fighting, Bilbo practically slays a whole colony of spiders on his own, but that isn't the only solution. Now I like a good fight scene but I think we fall back in them because they are easier to write.
