Like say if you attack an NPC Cleric, then the word gets around and eventually all of the other NPC Clerics in the game start to act hostile towards you. If this could be extended to include the player classes then PvP would become a veritable minefield, as you'd have to think twice before attacking another player for fear of what repercussions it may have in your current run. Using DkS as an example it would be like if you fought and killed another player in say the Chaos covenant, then the Fair Lady and Eingyl would eventually hear about it becoming hostile towards you, and you'd also become a prime target for any other players in the Chaos covenant who would be drawn to hunt you down via invasion.
Levels where the layout constantly changes. Imagine a labyrinth, where the walls would shift every minute or so, leading to instant death, or immense wealth.
Roaming enemies, who react to what the player does, and do not just stand there being picked off from afar.
Covenant wars, set against the server median. Again using DkS as an example if a large number of player controlled Darkwraiths attacked a large number of Darkmoons, then the Darkmoons would declare war on the Darkwraiths, leading to invitations being sent out to members of each convenant to converge on an area at a set time/date to fight it out en masse, and if they did not attend then they would be labelled as disserters, which would carry harsh penalties. Forced PvP, bring it on!
Your last idea there scares me.
One of the subtle beauties that I really like about DKS is that it never forces anything on me as a player. Everything I do or don't do in the game comes entirely from my own volition. Nobody ever says, "Go here and do this, or be punished!"
I don't mean that if that happened I would suddenly not like the game, in fact it is a pretty cool idea, but I think it would bug me after the first time. It would become like having friends who are always trying to force you into doing things that you aren't interested in.
