Fishing, Housing, more "stuff" to do in the world

While I think the Justice System and other things being discussed are a step in the right direction, I really think adding a bit of complexity and increasing how interactive the world is could do a LOT to make this game feel more "Elder Scrolls" and less generic themepark.
For instance, why not allow woodworkers to craft fishing poles that give a bonus to fishing? Make fishing useful AND more fun (i.e. you have to fight the fish rather than just click a button and viola! a fish with little/no effort- use fish in recipes, etc). We have baits, but wait about craftable lures? Take the bare bones system of FFXI ( fish was very popular/profitable/fun in that game) and make it 10x better, for example.
How about housing -is that still on the table at all? You could "hunt" trophies, craft furniture and all of that stuff via EQ2 style, but with improvements. EQ2's housing system is one of the most robust in any MMO and is probably one of the most popular aspects of that game.
