Diablo III’s Followers Introduced and Detailed

Those of us who were curious about the intricacies of Diablo III’s follower system need not look any further than this new section on the official website, where the Templar Kormac, the Scoundrel Lyndon, and the Enchantress Eirena are all introduced with new screenshots, skill overviews, equipment options, and armor progression details. I’ll likely be playing a Demon Hunter on my first go, so I’ll probably be recruiting Kormac to soak up some melee damage:

The templar are holy warriors, fighting for justice and eschewing the dangers that lead to cultism and demonic possession by espousing self-denial. They do not merely pay lip service to protecting the realm – they are battle-trained and experienced to a man, and the brooding, dedicated Kormac is a paragon among them.

Kormac came to the order as a young man, and was quickly molded into the ideal templar, adapting naturally to an ascetic way of life. His devotion is particularly unshakable, even for one of his order, and, despite his respect for battle prowess, his disdain for those who don’t share his high moral standards is readily apparent.

Though Kormac’s ways will not always be your own, your aims and goals align, and so he will fight alongside you to purge the world of the insidious darkness that would hide from the light of Heaven.

Don’t forget that there’s an ongoing beta key giveaway on the Diablo Facebook page, as well.
