No complex metaplot or anything, but a history that supports this and inspires the GM to create replacement content. I'd also like to see more emphasis on interesting NPCs in dungeons to talk to.
This. Not only would I like to see lower point play for DFRPG (I've heard there are some marketing reasons why it isn't the default, but it's my style of play), but I'd like more OSR-style play, with focus on locations and crawling, not plots. There'd have to be some guidance to playing lower-point magic-abusers in dungeon crawls; the fatigue rules can be a bother.
