along those same lines, instead of labeling everyone and every guild, make it so you actually have to interact with NPCS.
Instead of seeing this guy chopping outside is working for Slamz (minion of Slamz, over his head), and either killing him, I have to talk with him to find out more information.
I have to ask him questions like:
Why are your chopping wood here?
Who are you working for?
How much is he paying you?
Depending on my persuasion/charisma/intimidation skills, I can get him to change his original plan.
I threaten his life to give me the wood hes already cut.
I offer to pay him a bit more and get the wood hes already cut.
I threaten his life/his family if he doesnt stop.
I tell him Slamz owes me money and he better give me the money that Slamz gave him.
These would be just a few of many things you could incorporate.
