 * 1) Sweet Shalquire and Benhart are both in Majula. Shalquire is within a house, and Benhart can be found sitting on the ground somewhere on the edges of town.
 * 2) All of those characters that you mentioned were in Majula from the beginning. I believe Saulden was the one sitting near the tower, and was sort of like the Crestfallen Warrior. I didn't see any others. Melentia is encountered a little later, I think after the Forest of Giants. An interesting note though, someone at the event told me that she drops the Covetous Gold Serpent Ring, and that he remembers that there was a "+1" at the end of the name. Leveled rings?
 * 3) The Gadgeteer class sounds like a mistranslation of the "Explorer" class, which I outlined above. I took note of all of the classes that were selectable in the demo and they are named in the post, though I skimmed over most of what they came equipped with. I also remember that the Explorer class came with a ring, I didn't get to read its description, though.
 * 4) I honestly don't remember what armor the Swordsman started with, but it did not seem like a recycled set from the last game. I do remember the Bandit's armor, though, and it was definitely something new.
