That being said, even in its lowest most abandoned state, the area should have all the necesarry npcs and quest givers to continue with the MSQ, this is entirely optional content I believe would be most welcome.

It is well known the overworld offers very little to the player and these zones should be exciting.
You mention MSQ but what about side quests? If you change NPCs and the terrain then you could be cutting off access to either a side quest NPC or the mobs needed for a side quest.
