Both the ME themed X-Com style and DA themed Tactics Ogre style games could probably be funded through kickstarter rather than going to EA asking for handouts due to the vastly lower budget required to produce single player isometric, turn based strategy RPG games. They would not require CGI but instead rely on animation for cinematics to further reduce cost.
Those titles could be very popular on PC, Linux, Mac and portable systems from iPhones to tablets, PSP to DS and XBL plus PSN platforms. Those titles could retail for around £9.95 or £14.95. Maybe more upto £19.95 if the game is long enough, has enough content and the quality is very high. But for top tier price would have to be extremely good. The Deep Roads DA themed Diabloesque title however might need some of EA's backing I guess.

I think they are probably levels to the same game:
The Enchanted West Wood
Here live a race of spiritual beings who can imbue a visitor, true of heart or dark of heart with magical powers to command great armies from on high and to conquer their enemies, or even just to fill the hearts of those visitors with hours of delight.
Rise To Power within the forest, burn down all the trees and kill/eat all of the spiritual beings.
Once you have done this, you can Use Your Environment! to mock up your own version of the Visions of West Wood out of string and chewing gum, and sell it to unsuspecting passers-by.
The Forge of the Wright
An evil enchanter named the Wright is enthralling and captivating people with his magic shows full of tiny people and creatures, and making them happy - you must asphyxiate him and his creations with several tonnes of animal excrement, before it's too late.
Don't worry if the enchanted creatures survive - nobody wants to play with fascinating creatures if they have been smeared with excrement.
The Great Plains of the Origin
Adventurers battle through their ultimate quests here, and in the heavens above you can see scintillatingly beautiful steel dragons doing battle, wheeling racefully through the sky. They are harmless to you but breathing strikiing flashes of coloured light at one another like a celestial fireworks display.
Can you shoot all the dragons down and bullseye the adventurers in under five minutes with an air rifle? Extra points if you can tea-bag a roleplayer. Those losers.
The Eternal Battlefield
Here, thousands of warriors experience the exhilaration of doing battle to the death, and everything feels real except there is no dying upon your death - you are simply alive again and ready to do battle once more!
You are Gruntle - a rogue from the local fishing village who thinks this all looks like too much fun. Armed with only a bucket of rotting fish, a paintbrush, your powers of stealth and a solid grounding in comedy gymnastics, can you apply some rotting fish under the nose of every warrior on the battlefield? Not too much, just enough to sour the fun.
The Bullfrog Swamp
You hear tell of a giant talking bullfrog in the swamp weaving wondrous tales for people that seem to come alive as a waking dream - if they but feed it a gold piece.
You should probably go stamp on it. Must be full of gold by now.
There are more levels, but you'll have to buy the game to see them. Pre-order now - before metacritic has a chance to warn you off. I mean so you can get a t-shirt in the box.

Now if I can just convince ME team to not rule out X-Com style ME themed game too (not the FPS or flight sim though a wing commander style ME title would be okay), I would be very happy...

I honestly don't see Bioware ever attempting a tactical rpg. I love them Tactics Ogre and Disgaea are some of the most I have with my PSP but I never see Bioware doing this.
They could use kickstarter to gauge demand see if people willing to fund such project. The cost of making isometic tactical RPG's, use animation for cutscenes instead of CGI would make the actual development costs very cheap. So cheap I feel that is why kickstarter could pay for it to be made in this case rather than having to go cap in hand to EA to fund it.
The question asked on twitter and answer seeked was not to get confirmation of one being made but merely to find out if might be a chance of ever happening, meaning not off the table completely. I am happy with answer got back.
If they ever did such and put it on kickstarter I would spam every single gaming site forum and new site with links to it in order to try to make it happen. Try and get them all to write about it get more attention. The time would take to develop would not be extreme due to format and style of title that it could work well as spin off and I personally think could be nice money earner if was available on iPhone/iPad, PSP/DS, XBL/PSN, PC/Linux and Mac formats at about £9.95-£14.95. I could imagine demand would be very high for it too.

Portions of Alpha Protocol is ripped right out of Cold War Spy novels. Other than that the only thing we have to wait for is for Rockstar to finally release AGENT.

That game way is going on from initial mention I think was 2007? Now rumours seen about won't be out till next-gen... I like the idea of the game but beginning to wonder if will ever see the light of day.

Unless they release some info before the next E3, I think it can be declared dead. Six years of development and all we have is a vague concept; a cold war spy, on the run.

It was a bold approach to game design that I no longer believe will ever work out due to shifting staff, changing goals, and years long gaps impacting story development. So enough with the continuous sequels, please. I rather they go the disconnected sequel route of the Final Fantasy series. Well, before games like X-2 muddied that up.
My personal preference for setting would definitely be urban fantasy or steampunk. I won't hold my breath on those ever happening though. Way up thread Crustybot joked about a VN game. Not my first choice, but I'd play that.
Whatever, I'll play whatever they put out as long as it doesn't make me want to rip my eyeballs out. Hasn't happened yet.

Are we talking about the same Bioware here ? They're too big time for something like that now. It's all about emotionally engaging the player in cinematic cutscenes with awesome action gameplay to go with it !Dragoonlordz wrote...

Thats the thing, they are the only ones who can do it. It's their franchise so only themselves (or if they allow another to do it licensed) would be only ones who could make it a reality. The themes, races, world and characters in it would make a great isometric tactical RPG like Tactics Ogre or Final Fantasy Tactics style game. It does not matter what one thinks of Bioware really since it is more about them being only ones who could make a game based on this franchise in that style.
Lets put it this way, DA franchise has everything ever needs for a game set in that style.
- Party of Heroes (group of characters) with interesting histories and backgrounds, find each other along the way as begin a journey. So you already build allies through course of game to fight along side you.
- Has all the standard classes would require for a tactical RPG such as healing casters, damage casters including CC types, archer rogues, melee rogues and warriors both defensive and damage dealing types.
- You have the style of skills and customisation features in the main franchise which tie in well with that style game.
- You have small scale journey building up to large scale conclusions and battles a long the way whether example of DA:O theme of wardens journey leading to huge blight and battles or the secondary current theme of templars and mages all out war and group out to stop it happening due to being caught up in events out of their control. These themes are exact themes that those games tend to have.
- You also have the races which lend themselves to this sort of title very well from elves, humans, dwarfs and qunari and create the interesting world and characters within the game, interesting places and varying archetypes that set up such a game.
- The world itself is rich and vast, with a great deal of lore behind it.

^The Saboteur one of the first "GTA clones." Seriously underrated and in my opinion one of the best games set in WW2.
Meh. Seems kind of immature to me.

The characters and storytelling. Seemed very lighthearted and such. I haven't played the game though. That's just how it came across to me in reviews and trailers.

Well, I've played it several times and I can tell you that's not the case. This trailer is pretty faithful to the actual feel of the game.[/quote] It's done in a very Pulp comic style with a lot of noir elements as well. It's dirt cheap now, so there's no reason not to give it a shot.
