NPC's make them memorable but make sure not all of them are quest givers.Have the NPC's interact with each other (off screen or perhaps in the past) and have opinions of each other. Obi-Wan knew Luke's father and lied a little about him.Have secrets that the players can discover. Ones they can keep or share/act on or ignore. Secrets that are not plot secrets. Knowing that the Capulets and Montegues are rivals is common. Knowing/Learning about a secret romance between their scions is special.It's helpful to have something that is happening to the the settlement or NPC's like a festival or raid's by bandits. PC's are fond of sticking their noses into other peoples business.Make sure the PC's get a look at something they would desire with obvious means to get that something. Eg. High quality piece of equipment possibly magical with a price-tag that they will have to save for. (but not so long that it becomes less desirable)I would also recommend a prestigious or secret group that the PC's could join.</blockquote>
