After spending five years of their lives working on Star Wars: The Old Republic at BioWare Austin, designers Arnie Jorgensen, Alex Thomas, and John Watson have left the company to form a new independent studio called Stoic. The first game the trio will be cranking out is The Banner Saga, which they describe as "role-playing meets turn-based strategy, wrapped into an adventure mini-series about vikings." Other than that, all we know about the game is that a free multiplayer combat demo is coming soon, and that it will sport turn-based combat with a focus on choice and consequence:
Travel through stunning landscapes straight out of an animated film as your party escapes what could be the end of everything. Battle painstakingly hand-animated foes in strategic, turn-based combat. Make decisions with real consequences in conversations with people you'll actually care about.

The Banner Saga is a mature game aimed at gamers who appreciate art, story and strategy. Hope you'll join the caravan.
Sounds like it might have some potential.
