A Star Wars 4x, covering all of the known Expanded Universe, from the beginning to the end of the known Star Wars timeline.
EU isin't really a thing anymore.

The stories still exist, it's not like they were all vaporized :v
Yeah, just like someone is going to make an official game out of EU.

Plus the whole storyline about Palpatine coming back from the dead was heavily implied/foreshadowed to be canon in Revenge of the Sith

What? I don't remember anything about that. Closest is that he tells Anakin the story of Darth Playgoo (Plagieus? Fuck, I'm on the internet, I guess I can look it up) Plagueis and how he learned the secret of using the force to create life, and that he was killed by his apprentice before passing on that secret (not mentioned but Palpatine/Sidious was that apprentice). Anakin believed this power would prevent his vision (the death of his wife) but that's not quite how it worked. In point of fact, as I recall, Anakin himself is a manifestation of Plagueis' power: life from the force; that is, pregnancy without a father.

Palpatine could be lying when he says he doesn't know it himself, since the whole point of the exchange is to manipulate Anakin, but he also explicitly says that together they could learn the secret. Could just be bad writing but I don't think it would be phrased the way it was if Palpatine himself knew the secret but just wasn't going to share it.

There is absolutely no mention in the movies of Palpatine setting up his various clone reincarnations that fill the EU.

Regredit: disregard all that, I know nothing.

If there are orbital copyright-enforcement lasers ready to vaporise all unapproved(regardless of licenses) fanfiction from existence, I would not be surprised if Disnep was the one to own them...

A simulation for TES would be awesome. Including mechanics for Dragon Breaks and symbolic computation for expanding upon existing mythology.
The RPGs are such a letdown after reading the UES wiki.

Palpatine's smug criticism of Plagueis for failing to find a way to restore his own life struck me as implying that Palpatine on the other hand had discovered such a technique

A roguelike where you play as a knight/samurai/warrior vassal of an important leader in a  randomly generated world, and your ONLY goal is to protect your liege lord/lady/religious figure/rock star with your life.  This person would be completely out of your guy's control, leaving you fulfil their every demand while at the same time doing your best to protect them from a very dangerous world.

I thought that escort quests were even more universally reviled than fetch-quests and "kill ten rats"...

Of course, you as the vassal would be doing plenty of those too.

Alright, for a more specific Star Wars game I'd like to see. Spoilered because I know Akura is playing KOTOR2 and I'm not sure how much he knows about the plot:

I think I've said something like this before but here goes

I'd like to see another game along the lines of Afterlife (an old city builder where you manage heaven and hell) but with more depth in some areas. I'd like for actions affecting the land of the living to have more clear effect on the living, rather than just eventually affecting the demographics of Heaven and Hell. I'd also like more control over the planet in general

I'd also like to be able to control how much or how little different actions and attitudes are condemned or condoned rather than just how prevalent they are in life; there could be a whole range 0f other factors (all wih their own associated structures) taken into account than the seven deadly sins and seven cardinal virtues. Optimally you could even make things that are normally sins count as virtues and vice versa (for example one could create an Afterlife based on Republican style prosperity theology in which greed is rewarded in heaven). What is or isn't a sin or virtue could start out randomized at the beginning of each game.

Reward and punishment structures for multiple things would be a good addition too. Like instead of each either corresponding to only one sin or virtue or else being entirely generic, you could have ones specifically for each possible group of two different sins or virtues (this could become implausible though - or possibly only doable at the expense of art and description quality - if the list of possible sins and virtues (as described in the previous paragraph) is too long)

Also, some aspects of the original Afterlife are counterintuitive or just stupid and should be changed or at least made optional. These include the fact that souls always move between reward or punishment structures in the same arbitrary order, and the fact that your Afterlife's finances are a ponzi scheme requiring a constant and ever growing influx of new souls in order to remain solvent.

Every so often I get to thinking that it would be a huge laugh if somebody actually created a videogame like the one in he Polybius legend and sent it out into the world.

A really intense 3D beat-em-up game in the vein of shit like Fist of the North Star. Possibly with character customization and different fighting styles to choose from. It would throw the laws of physics to the wind for sheer awesomeness. It would have things like finishing moves, environmental attacks, really fast-paced and badass bosses... and, of course, it would have THIS as the 'level complete' theme.
