The hireling system is just crap in it's current implementation, it just feels tacked on.
Hiring adventurers should be possible from every hub location and they need to be fully customizable, including name, race and background. If players want to make a party of 4 dwarf fighters or whatever, let us do it.
Making a party of Dwarfen adventurers would be great. I would like to make a party of Lolth Sworn Drow on the path of vengeance.
