All of that sounds like an interesting story, but it feels very ill-suited to such an extremely long game. It feels like a story that could be told effectively in a 2-hour movie or a single novel instead of being needlessly padded by grindy fetch quests in huge empty areas.

Actually, now that I think about it, a story similar to that was already told effectively in novel form. Isaac Asimov's "The Naked Sun".
