My suggestions:
– Allow to decline rewards for certain contracts (like defending villages/towns from bandits) for a boost in reputation with said town/village
– An even HARDER diffuclty
– Bandit contracts (contracts from bandit leaders while you have merciless rep)
Really weird suggestion
– Faction ratings with enemies (green skins, bandits, ancient undead) that can infulence them hunting you down or even them letting you go
