===Christian Lichtner's Templar?===
[[Image:Templar_concept.jpg|left|frame|Concept art for the [[Templar]] follower.]]
There is one point of curiousity surrounding the followers, however. [[Christian Lichtner]] took over as art director for Diablo III at some point in 2009. A post on diablo.incgamers.com revealed a piece of fan art that Mr. Lichtner drew before he was hired at Blizzard[http://liquidology.deviantart.com/art/Paladin-Concept-96355105].
The piece is not only strongly reminiscent of the Templar, but the templar concept art also appears to have been done in the same art style, indicating that Mr. Lichtner was the artist responsible for the look of the follower.
So it may be speculated that Blizzard has been working on the followers since then, yet felt they weren't ready to reveal them to the fans and press.
removing last section because who cares?
<blue>We’re not quite ready to talk about our approach, but I will say it’s something that’s been a part of the game since before announcement. We have a very solid direction for them. </blue>
