A Star Wars RPG, but with a truly open ended quest structure.
Imagine role playing as a bounty hunter and getting a mission to assassinate a high ranking rebel leader, but instead of trying to get at him in his massive base like you usually have to, you can hack into the base’s computer systems and find out that he’s being called away on ‘urgent business’ in a few days. So you decide to wait until he leaves, then track him to some backwater planet where he‘a meeting a spy with some sensitive info. You assassinate the rebel leader and haul the spy back to the empire for a hefty bonus depending on what the spy knows.
Or you can use stealth to kill him inside the base, posing as a rebel noob who ‘gets lost’ on his first day, or just run and gun / blow up the base with him in it, or chase him to a secondary location where there may be more noteworthy people for you to capture/kill.
Or you decide to rebel yourself, waltz up to the leader and persuade him to go into hiding while you pretend he’s dead and collect the bounty, and from then on you can sell him and the rebels info you may have overheard on your travels among the empire elite (although you will now have to pass skill checks every time you lie to the empire about assassinating rebels, and you may get caught out in your lies if you don’t cover your tracks well enough even if you passed the skill check - the check is for the guy you’re talking to to believe you, but it doesn’t make them oblivious to the fact the guy you ‘killed’ was sighted a few hours afterwards in a bar somewhere)
Basically it’s all of the best genre specific games slapped into one massive world. If you want to be stealthy it plays out like a Hitman game, if you want to be in charge of a squad it plays out like Ghost Recon, if you want to cause mayhem it plays out like Just Cause, if you want to be a trader it plays out like one of those resource focused online space MMOs, if you want to go to war it plays out like the OG Battlefronts.

That sounds like dungeons and dragons honestly

Well that’s what the original RPG video games were based off of, tabletop Role Playing Games like DnD.
