Why not have riddles?
Sure
Quote:
Why not have some(of all) of them require the answer to be typed in?
The industry moved away from type in answers a couple of years ago for a variety of reasons, including localization and spelling issues and accessibility

Why ot have Party members help you with them?
This could work as in game hint system where you, similar to KotOR, can ask NPCs about what they think of a certain situation, yes.

b) The Char's intteligence doesn't come in play. - people got so hung up on that stupid intellignce stat, only becoause it's name is intelligence. If it was nemed something else, they probably wouldn't have said anything.
Agreed. Who said we even have a intelligence stat? Even if we have, using it to determine the result to riddles doesn't make a lot sense, as the riddle is supposed to be a hurdle for the *player* so she can feel rewarded if she successfully figured it out. Putting it on the character would make it just a question of stat distribution on your character (and given that you are a party, even that doesn't count) and the original purpose of the riddle would be defeated.
