We have had times where we go 2 or 3 sessions with no combat at all, and then have a whole session that is wall to wall combat.  But, rarely do we have any sort of dungeon crawl, unless it is a side adventure because a player or two are not there that session.  And, you can get great role-playing and story advancement during combat as well.  (Imagine a trusted NPC who has been tagging along for weeks is suddenly revealed to be the right hand man or woman of the main bad guy?  Or, imagine that you find out that the supposedly good king that your paladin has been working for is really an agent of evil?)</blockquote>
