I don't think open world RPs in gerenal have are doom to fail, it just needs a catalyst to happen with an enclosed space and then something to keep the characters interacting. Also, if you have not noticed, I like to play very manipulative backstabbers who mess with peoples minds. Really, I don't mind Fay when they Chaotic Good or Chaotic Neutral, I have just been waiting an RP with Chaotic Evil ones because they are fun : D
