Follower is the new Diablo III name for the Diablo II mercenaries.
Mercenaries in Diablo III
Little is yet known about how mercs will be handled in Diablo III. The D3 team has said there will likely be hireable mercs, but they've given no information about how powerful these mercs will be, how they will be obtained, if they'll get an AI upgrade, or if they'll be able to wear equipment as the D2 mercs were.
They've told us little more than that there will be mercs again, and that they'll be improved over how they worked in Diablo 2. [1]
- Do those NPC's provide abilities to the hero, like a proper party system?
- Julian Love: That's also not yet finalised. We're trying to make them definitely a step above the henchmen of Diablo II, but how big of a step is something I can't say yet. Hopefully next time we reveal something I can show you more.
NPC Encounters
Besides the hypothetical hireable mercs, there are various NPCs to be found in the dungeons who will team up with your character for short durations. Players will find or rescue NPC warriors of various types, and some of these will tag along to help out, or give your character an errand-style quest, asking you to help them find the rest of their patrol.
These sort of NPCs can not be controlled; they fight with their own AI and you are unable to heal them or give them equipment to wear. There were several such quests seen in the Blizzcon 2008 and 2009 demos, and the function was first demonstrated with Deckard Cain and several NPC archers in the WWI 2008 gameplay movie.
