Ever since the first wire was plugged into the second controller port, allies have been an essential part of gaming. Maybe it’s a second gun on the field or even an annoying girl, crying and whining as you drag her around by the hand. Maybe it’s someone who serves the story. Maybe it’s just someone who’s damn likable. Regardless, single-player gaming can be lonely. Why else do MMO’s exist? Having a devoted crew of computer controlled allies along to save the world can be a reward unto itself. And anyone who disagrees clearly didn’t grow up an only child.
