Arguably the best RPG ever made, a beautiful game. 

in my dreams, CDPR spends 10 years making an ASOIAF RPG 

They took a lot of liberties with the books though. I think they would need to set it after the books are done, or perhaps have it be set in Essos. That really works to their strengths as storytellers and worldbuilders.

I was thinking more along the lines of real early pre-conquest/post-andal invasion era, with established worlds and kingdoms, but free to come up with pretty much any story

Sounds like a good idea to me. Honestly, I would like to see cd projekt red’s distinctive vision of Westeros rather than trying to copy the look of the show, as other video games have done. 

Yeah i think we can definitely just leave the show out of it. My only concern is that outside of very very early first men vs the long night, we wont be able to fight the Others/army of the dead. Maybe as a bonus mode or nazi zombies esque party mode

If you need supernatural evil, you can always do it on the small scale. Squishers in forgotten grottos dotting Cracklaw Point, Deep Ones in the depths of the Hightower, etc. 

For example, I had this idea for an RPG campaign set in the Riverlands where the Brackens and Blackwoods are fighting amidst the Great Spring Sickness. Blackfyre agents and Bloodraven spies running around, rumors of secret cures, woods witches, and holy men, which would lead up to the realization that the Brackens are secretly supporting a new Faith Militant while the Blackwoods are conducting human sacrifices to their undead weirwood tree in order to shield themselves from the plague.

Thus you have politics and the supernatural, but without breaking the worldbuilding.
