Estimated Announcements at the BlizzCon 2010!
      

  As of yet we have heard very little on the role of hirelings in Diablo 3 except that they are now called followers and that you can have more than one at a time.What you've seen are the throw away helpers you can pick up on the field and they follow you, and are helpful, but usually die off pretty fast. They're not intended as a replace..

Synes ellers at det havde været ude at man kunne spænde flere items på dem, så deres "survival rate" blev lidt bedre - som hirelings vi kender fra D2...

I de seneste gameplay trailers, kan man så går ud fra at dem som følger character (specielt den seneste med monk) er followers? i så fald må de bygge på de andre eksisterende chars på sin vis
