Sometimes you just want to play solo, without the added hassle of dealing with the myriad of jerks, loot whores, whiners, and elitists clogging up the online RPG space. But you don't ever have to go it entirely alone in Diablo III: Blizzard' just unveiled the details on the game's Followers system, which lets you bring one of three memorable NPC companions with you when you're off by your lonesome.
The three characters will be central figures in the main plot, with their own backstories and reasons for wanting to fight evil alongside you, which you'll uncover over time. They will auto-level with your character, and have their own, unique ability trees that you can progress through. You won't control them directly, but their AI will change based on the skills you select for them to help them fill the role you want them to (such as the Templar being a tank for you).
For more info, look at their character pages below, and read the full reveal on Blizzard's official site .
