The other big addition to the Guild Wars series in Nightfall is the use of heroes. These are companions to your main character that will accompany you in your adventures and follow basic commands. You may have up to three in total, and you can assign them instructions such as attack, defend, and stay back.
Heroes will be fully customisable, down to the equipment they use and the professions they follow. What this means is that the top-end dungeons can now be attempted by just two players, each with a main character and three heroes, totalling up to the maximum of eight characters. This will hopefully make it easier not just to assemble groups for the dungeons, but also to take the pressure away from some of the more role-playing-minded gamers who would prefer to dally a little more and take in the story.
