Shooting and fighting has been the norm in games for ages now, but maybe a more passive interaction will work. The only way I see this being successful, though, is with a high quality storyline being the main component of this "new shit". Fortunately, high quality interactive storylines and Bioware go very much hand in hand, so I guess of anyone, I would put my money on Bioware making this future work.
