There were a couple of recent cases about people with severe amnesia and they weren't robotic or dull. They were without the memories that had formed their personality but they still *had* that personality.

It's clear that personality is based on more than just memories. You might look up Oliver Sacks and see if he did a book on amnesia, he's a great medical writer.
