I absolutely agree that there's a lot of game still missing.
I want to strengthen the interactive part with parties, giving you several options to "spy" on them - all that information about their needs and loyalties will be hidden from you in the final game, but with options to find it out - at the risk of upsetting them. Think about the option of having an assistant in your shop, and because he's a former cutpurse, he can figure out to a fairly good degree how much money they actually have. But if they spot him checking out their purses, they will not like it, loyalty will drop and maybe they will even exit your shop immediately.
