Classic adventure components in Mass Effect

So I was wondering if this would be something people would be interested to see from time to time in a Mass Effect game.

Basically, the idea would be to introduce gameplay components as we know them from point & click adventures into a future Mass Effect game. I think all the general mechanics to do it are basically in the game already.

Remember Vetra's LM, where we needed to scan and find the cables to get power from a generator to a door? That was kind of the simplest possible implementation of an item based puzzle component and yet, I really liked it and I wish they'd go further with the concept.

My idea would be to have a bunch of situations where solving an item puzzle could either give you an advantage in a subsequent fight or even an alternative peaceful quest solution. This way, people who don't want to bother with the puzzles can just go ahead and play the game as they used to, while those of us who enjoy the adventure component get some reward for doing it as well.

Basically, you'd use the scanner to find hotspots with items or interaction points in the world, you'd get a special inventory segment for usable items and the ability to combine items in the inventory (or use them with other hotspots in the game world. You could also use the R&D station for more intrecate item interaction (if you have to build something out of 2 or 3 items that you found, they'd basically be the "raw materials" to build what you need for the puzzle). We even have analysis text when using the scanner, the perfect place to hide some hints for puzzle solutions. Basically, as far as I can see, the game is almost already set up for this.

The puzzles would of course not be absurd like in Monkey Island or Day of the Tentacle but rather more SciFi and Tech based (think of the Star Trek adventures like 25th Anniversary, Judgement Rites or A Final Unity if anyone remembers those, or maybe stuff like the Riddle of Master Lu, in any case, more logical and tech-based puzzles, than absurd random item combinations that do weird things).

Right now, Ryder is supposed to be more of a science-y explorer character than Shepard was. But in fact, SAM does all the mental work really. I think having some puzzles in there for Ryder/the player themselves to solve would really drive home the point that you can and should use your brain as well as your brawn.

Whadaya think? Would people be interested or shall we just stick with the dakka?
