It's being developed by Obsidian Entertainment (previously Black Isle: Fallout, PS:T, IWD - currently Obsidian: KotOR2, NWN2, MotB, SoZ). If they say it's an RPG, it probably is. Seems to me that a lot of situations can be solved with or without violence, but it's most likely easier to just shoot your way through the game (as always).

Alpha is console only? From what I know, it will also be released on the PC.
