Especially good luck with that one.

Totally blown out idea. You're just listing everything you can come up with and game designing doesn't work this way. This isn't remotely feasible even for commercial developers. Your idea is essentially more complex than Skyrim that had about hundred million dollar budget and took over 3 years to make.

Hahaha you don't even know if i have the necessities to produce this type of game yet you judge and with next gen tech there is less restrictions.

I do, you don't.

Feel welcome to prove me wrong. I've seen you a hundred of times. Having a (MMO)RPG mashup with more features than any commercial title is one of the most common noob mistake that people make when they don't know anything about the tech behind a game. I was only trying to put it nicely.

Do you have over 100 million dollars in disposable income?

The tech won't be the biggest restriction. That would be the production of the sheer amount of content that you'll need to create what you are proposing.

Um... I don't want to seem rude but this really reminds me of a game in development called "Kenshi" and it seems to have some very similar ideas to you can see its page here: Indiedb.com.
These bits you wrote reminds me of it especially:
"Massive Open

go from house to house without loading."

Freedom Of
Choice - Your choice will be yours the
game world does not revolve around the player nor he/she is the chosen one but
your actions will affect the world even NPCs in-game can make choices that will
affect the environment around them.

Properties
can be bought, owned, or sold to the NPCs or the player.

The setting is quite similar from the sounds of it too.
If you have a story (kenshi does not have one) and different mechanics and the vehicles you can differentiate from kenshi with ease but I don't see it being easy to tell a interesting story with out having some sort of chosen one thing going on, Its possible but is gonna be quite hard in an open world RPG.

I hope you can pull this off and Good Luck with your game!

He could pull it off within 15 years of savings and work, Or is that still going over the top?
