TTRPG Talent Systems (self.rpg)

For a while now I've really been into an old Star Wars system called Saga Edition that I appreciate greatly for its ability to really customize a character. A major part of that customization comes from its use of a talent system instead of most other systems that automatically assign class features, and I'm curious if there are any other ttrpgs that use talents.

I'm pretty sure the Dragon Age ttrpg also uses them, but what other systems do, and are any of them still actively being produced?

Sounds a bit like the Archetype system in Pathfinder 2e. A lot of the customization of your character comes from archetypes, not class features. The nice thing is that most archetypes can be taken by any class, so you can use the "Archer" archetype as a fighter, ranger, rogue, or even as a wizard (though there might be some antisynergy there)
