I'd REALLY like to be able to interact more with my environment:
Sit on the couch & read (for Mood points)
Build a storage shed (to increase storage)
Talk with vendors for information ("Do you know where I can find a paper tree?"), maybe at a cost of energy or mood points
Talk to the garden gnome, request info (again, maybe at a cost of points)
Be able to decorate my house, maybe have a bedroom where I can rest or meditate for points
Create things (the way you do with Alchemy or Engineering). Why can't I sew, paint, or sculpt? Maybe make my own garden gnome, then use Alchemy to infuse it with energy and "bring it to life"
