BioWare producer asks fans if they want a Dragon Age tactics game

Dragon Age could birth a new tactical RPG in the vein of Fire Emblem or XCOM, thanks in part to a popular Twitter poll. Franchise executive producer Mark Darrah asked his Twitter followers whether they would be interested in a Dragon Age game that journeys even deeper into tactical territory than the franchise's pause-and-play origins, and they responded en masse:

I'd throw The Banner Saga in as an ideal source of RPG-tactics inspiration, too; it has weighty story decisions and challenging grid-based battles alike (not to mention it was made by ex-BioWare developers). And yes, according to Darrah, this theoretical Dragon Age Tactics would "likely" have Fire Emblem-style relationship building mechanics. So instead of bugging your would-be love interest after every quest, hoping they have something new to say, you could just make sure you always fight next to them... and reload the game whenever they perma-die.
