Throw in a mystery to solve, see if they jump at the opportunity to solve a good puzzle. And put in some interesting NPCs, see if they really enjoy interacting with them. Then you might get a better idea of what they're after.

Other options are to start them out in a city, or in the court of some nobleman. Either way you can give them multiple threads to pick up. I like having a dangerous beast to hunt for one of them, in case they want to use tracking and sneaking skills. . . .
