First time poster. So please be kind.
I'm getting back into RPGs having last dabbled over a decade ago. I recently purchased Dr. Who: AITAS, Terra Primate, and DC Adventures.
Gaming background:
I started RPGs with Palladium books, specifically Robotech and Rifts, then moved onto World of Darkness. Few times I've played D&D (one adventure of AD&D 2E, and two sessions of D&D 3E) and it's not my kind of game. I've also played L5R 1E on several occasions and I found it enjoyable and fondly recall a Shadowrun campaign that was my best experience as a player, credit to the GM.
The first book I've ever bought was GURPS, don't recall which edition, because I loved the idea of a system where I can play any setting or type of genre possible but it didn't do it for me.
Which leads to my question...I'm looking for a system in which I can do what GURPS does and would like suggestions from all here.
No disrespect to GURPS but not GURPS.
I don't like static levels like Palladium and D&D.
Many posts mention that superhero game like DCAdv (M&M) can do it but I'm looking for something different.
Savage Worlds also interested me but the criticisms I hear is that it doesn't do well at higher power levels. I might be wrong and if so please inform me.
Unisystem as I know it from Terra Primate and from what I've read seems like it might do the trick from lower levels like Buffy to higher levels like Armageddon. I read about Beyond Human and if it ever comes out it might be just exactly the system I'm looking for though I have never used Unisystem.
I read reviews of BESM (Tri-Stat?) because I felt anime does it all but can't get over the fact that it's only 3 stats.
Not interested in older systems like Basic or Hero System and interested in a newer system. Last I played was back in 99, maybe? So something after that. I like the way game systems are going from what I've read online.
And if anyone suggests a homebrew (I'm assuming that means my own system) I am not good enough to do that from the ground up but understanding that no system is perfect I'm sure that I am going to have house rules to any system I choose from your suggestions.
Sorry for the long post but I wanted the suggestions to not go all over the place and let it be known somewhat clearly of at least what I am not looking for and understand that I will have to have to houserule things.
In a sense I am looking for a system where in one campaign I can do street level heroes and in the next campaign I can do giant mecha or supermen being gods in a futuristic earth, or a mixture of both or whatever.
Thanks
oh and I also like to stick with a major publication if possible. I understand that there are a lot of good indy rpgs and some of their systems can probably be universal but it's another weird restriction of mine.

Help me pick a new system
