It doesn't have to be soulless!
I tape a peice of very nice thick drawing paper to my graphics tablet and adjust its sensitivity - not only does it feel much more pleasant but the pen leaves faint traces in the paper making a beautiful multilayered record of all digital drawing marks. I'm sure we can improve technology to fine tune it to our super sensitive motorics.
The issue of sensation is obviously not quite the same as directness of expression and the trick with the paper doesn't work so well with a tablet PC - but I'm sure some form of soft responsive tracing paper could be used to give some amazing sensations and results.
Good luck with the project.
