we do get jobs. like delivering stuff and capturing enemy leaders. also, the siege thing has been mentioned several times in the short time i've been on the forums, and everyone seems to think that it would be cool but is unlikly to make it into the game. the other ideas might be good, though. i guess it depends on how they're implemented.

i'm not saying they're good jobs, but we have them. maybe adding more jobs, like "defeat the leader of this bandit clan" and "fight your way through enemy teritory colleccting inteligence reports" would be a nice addition. real estate sounds like it could be cool, or at least entertaining.
"So Mr. Dark Hunter, you say you're looking for a mid-priced starter home. how about this lovely cottage near reyyvadin. You will be close to many good schools and entertainment venues, and there are lots of merchant caravans to raid within a ten-minute ride..."

How about some more random encounter and quests?
You meet wizened old man who challenges you to a fight with your quarterstaff.
Potentially earn + 10 on polearm skills
You meet an old lady who has a task for you.
Earn +2 First aid
etc...
How about some quests that have a definite end...
Clear out this specific den of thieves at this location... and afterwards bandit activity goes down. I mean; quests that have a permanent effect on the campaign map.
X king wants you to travel to the northern lands to find x herb to heal his sick son... clichéd I know but bear with me.
Later quest. You are chosen as our champion. Represent us in battle.

hey thats sparked me off again, dynamic weathering.
if the snow falls, it blocks up the tunnel, so you have to go around, if there is lightning, it ruins the forest, if there is heavy snow, it destroys the bridge, OR
there is battle going on on the bridge, and to cross, you need to fight.

I am in favor of quests that actually effect the way enemies spawn. Such as "Capture forest bandit Leader" then after completing that quest fewer forest bandits spawn until 14 days pass (so they can recruit more people or something).
Weather would be interesting but, all in all I would get annoyed with it more than anything. "Hurray snow! Now I will sleep at the tavern for 42 days so winter passes and I can move at full speed again!" That sounds like anti-fun to me.
And I know for a fact (mostly) that armagan is going to add the whole real estate thing do to the high demand and, uh, easyness of it. So maybe once you have your own Mansion/Castle/hole-in-the-ground-with-a-sheet-over-it, you could start your own faction and make alliances/war with the swadians/vaegirs/bandits or something like that anyway.

Actually, I think weather would be a nice bonus. Even when it just affected the whole map, and say, randomly changing every day.
As it is, the party can *walk* from the other end of the country to the other in a day, so we really could use slowing down on the travel speed, even otherwise than rain.
So, effects when it rains:
- Map dimmed down
- Travel speed reduced
- Spotting distance reduced
Adding a calendar, to make it snow, is a bit useless, unless the time is accelerated. One month is a very long time - say, three-month winter would be close to eternity.
