Just Thinking Out Loud...

At this time of writing, I just finished a session of 'My Little Investigations'. But I was thinking to myself...
Would it be possible to combine the investigation gameplay of 'My Little Investigations' with an RPG?
Because I'm mildly narcissistic, I figured this would be a decent basis for a Tyro game. Perhaps one of the RP's where he featured, like the Library of Life adventure.
Effectively, you'd be looking around, solving puzzles, picking up clues and talking to ponies about stuff to extract necessary information.
However, you'd also be expected to dish out some pain in some turn-based battles with a small twist I'm still thinking through...It involves a dash of all the card based game's I've been playing...
But, I don't think it would be all that bad an idea. Simply because now the battles aren't propping up the game play, the NPC conversations can as well. I can imagine it getting a little complicated as you go along but I can see the two mechanics complimenting rather nicely if presented in just the right way so that one doesn't overshadow the other.
I can't say I could ever fully build this with any guarantee but would the idea sound appealing to anypony?
