Nice wall o' text. ;)
I had not thunk about your points before and thanks.
Minecraft _almost_ gets away with cursor-less interaction - up to the point you have to interact with inventory. On one hand I like that because it forces the design to be simple. On the other, it makes interacting with some special use items in the game rather counter-intuitive.
I never, ever, want a modal control scheme that stops you from shooting a bad guy. People get really pissed when their fooling with their inventory, see a bad guy, and end up squeezing a tube of toothpaste instead of shooting their gun!
When you start talking about order queues I think you've gone more RTS than FPS + mini RPG. Put down the crack pipe!
But on the other hand, why the hell not make a Marathon RTS? The story of Robert Blake and his kidnapped merry men sounds perfect for a small-squad RTS. There's more food for thought!
