I want a MMORPG where there are 100,000 unique NPCs all run by AI with a custom backstory that keep track of the world events and respond accordingly.

I want them to have player/party specific memories and information. I want the merchants to remember the player and treat them according to how they were treated.

    Yes, that is something that modern AI could have some value in a game. Not AI-generated assets (graphics and music), not even AI filling in for lazy writters, but AI providing emergent story and gameplay. Like Dwarf Fortress, but LLMs instead of some "simple" hardcoded rules. This should be a genre of its own, not something pushed to every game, though.

    How do I quick save? I hit F5, shot a dude in the face, hit F9, and nothing happened...

    You have to have two traits for your character from the start: white skin and incredibly wealthy. If you don't have both of those you'll have to become a police officer which is easy enough, but easier if you're char is white and rich.
