We should conduct a general poll and gather more data so we can possibly diagnose.
I'd say generally we want as close to a vanilla feel as possible, to credit the original Microsoft Game developers for their great work and also to get as close to core RP as we can. If we can do a general poll, say 'do you feel there is enough AI spawning in game?' or 'would you like to see more NPC's in game / NPC activity?' or 'do you enjoy lots of NPC's flying around?' we can gather more data. If the general consensus is, that they would like to see more NPC's the team could maybe look at improving that immersion.
My favourite PC games are Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Freelancer and games like Witcher or Skyrim where NPC difficulty, overload, and interaction are all massive parts of my immersion. They are my world; they are my keepers. The underdog is a good way to go.
