Unlocking followers in adventure mode?

Why do I have to run the campaign to unlock the followers on a new character? Everything else is already unlocked in adventure mode, why can't the followers be as well? I really don't want to run the campaign through act 2 just for that.

Sorry if this has already been addressed, I did a quick search and couldn't find anything.

Edit: The Templar just showed up in town. Unlock with level?

Good news! Characters starting in Adventure Mode have access to all of the followers from level one, and you won't need to play campaign mode to have access to them in Adventure Mode.

Wait, was the change reversed and you can now play Adventure Mode without playing the Story at all?


You'll still need to complete the campaign mode at least once in order to unlock Adventure Mode, but once it's unlocked all of your characters of that game type (Normal or Hardcore) will be able to access it, even brand new ones.
