Copy-pasting from the other thread:
I'm extremely disappointed in how hirelings will apparently be handled. Was expecting and hoping for blank slate characters like the PC, not just more Origin characters with no origin.
Hopefully we'll still be able to launch multiple instances of the game and create our own Multiplayer game to create custom parties.
Once I run through my D&D characters, I like playing groups from favourite books or movies and the current implementation doesn't allow that (unless you can change the races, looks and names of the mercenaries)
