The carjacking repeatable quests were definitely a step in the right direction.
Here are some more ideas:
1. map control quests. Basically you have rep with both cops and local gangs. In japan town its the tiger claws for example. The local gangs spawn more gang members who hang around a zone over time. Eventually, if V stops going back to a specific zone, the gang takes over and declares its authority. Once this happens, V can reassert NCPD authority by killing gang members, and doing quests to kill gang leaders which are tricked out with high end cyberware. These quests come from the local fixers. Optionally, V can kill cops, which makes him a very wanted man. At a certain point, the gangs offer V quests to kill local ncpd leaders and maxtac security personal who also have cyberware. Once this happens, V can expel the NCPD precinct in the area, and becomes permanently wanted in all areas that have existing ncpd precincts. V can go back by killing gang members until the NCPD reestablishes a precinct. In addition, V could do quests for a given gang against another gang. Once this happens, gangs can take over nearby city zones.
2. Working man quests. We have a pickup! Why not allow for delivery driving quests?
3. More carjacking! Why cant we steal a car, and turn it into a chop shop that converts car wrecks at a rate of say 2 per hour into item components?
4. Money drains. Why can't V have a reason to make money? Support a family/wife/gf/kid. Support an orphan. Support a local gang. Support a politician. Who cares, but a need for money beyond increasing skills would be cool for end game.
5. Component drains. Why can't V have a component drain? Have quests where components get turned into money without being turned into weapons?
6. Why cant we do anything with food delivery/construction?
7. Why can't we pickpocket civilians?
8. Why can't we charm civilians and talk them into joining our cause? For example, give them a gun, talk them up, and introduce random people from the street to various gangs and induce them into a life of crime to take over the city! Or have them join the ncpd, or our very own trucking company?
9. Why is there no stock market?
