I loved the NPCs from Dark Souls..
Click to read (SPOILER) there are no Dark Souls 1 NPC's in this game in person, although there are familiar armour sets. An NPC Catarina knight invades in NG+, but it probably isn't Siegmeyer. He drops Catarina gear when defeated. Other returners in the form of armour equipment are Havel's and the Pyromancer set.

There is also one familiar figure on the enemy side; (SPOILER)a boss called the Old Dragonslayer is actually Ornstein, or someone resembling Ornstein. The armour and spear he uses are the same although he has no longer lightning powers but dark instead. I don't really like that he's in the game.

Hate to say it but I think From really played it safe with the characters this time around and therefore I don't feel like many stood out, let alone cared for. There's a couple, but it's definitely not as impressive a cast as DkS1 imo.

Its not that there werent any good npc's, this game is full of them. The issue lies in the fact that you dont see many around on quests and they dont get fleshed out as much. They all just go back to majula and thats it for them. There are some that have quests, but they just arent nearly as well done as the ones in dks1.
