Q u o t e: their health doesn't scale so we can ensure the end-game is pure
Good to hear. Also good to know they will not be a factor in pvp in any way.
Being a person who really likes good story and really hates it when story sucks I see the reasoning behind the followers storywise. It is a clever device and I am glad they are using it.
It sounds like a well thought out system all around in that I am glad they are in but also glad they will not be impacting the endgame or pvp or co op.
