Sounds fun. You know, you should play Chrono Trigger. No world map enemies at all, and all the enemies you do fight you can just walk around, just like you like. There is also a LOT of talking there. Not so much choices in conversations, but you can still have a lot of control over how people act without fighting, thanks to a little thing called... well... time travel. You can talk to your party members there too, but only in a few locations (as opposed to something like KOTOR where you can always talk to them when they are in the party). I'd say there was an even mix of scenario based stuff and fighting in that game. In those RPGs, the goal is doing whatever you can to unlock EVERY scenario. "Hmm, if I take this person, I get this conversation, if I take this person, a slight alteration... this person and... WOW that's different!"
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
