Yeah, I think that the NPCs in Demon's Souls were spot on, because even they all seemed full of character (well, I'm not including Stockpile Thomas obviously) and their status in the world was clear.
This guy can't hack the demon slaying any more. She has given up on the dark arts. This dude won't stop until he's gotten every ounce of knowledge out of the world, this other guy is a cold blooded assassin, that guy's a fucking chancer, she has fallen but her motivations were pure and the dude that's with her loves her absolutely, this guy was an adventurer but he shit his pants and couldn't go any further...
I'll bet that you know each and every one of the those characters without having to think very hard.
In Dark Souls, you have far less in the way of recognizable memorable characters I think.
