Question Regarding the minions

[Pexaan]

Is there any system in the game that makes them feel alive? like talent system for individual minions or promotions or something similar that would differentiate one minion from the other if they are the same species ?

Some might enter the game with some special trait or bonus, such as being able to see in the dark, having an increased potential for melee, ranged or magic combat, or perhaps just having a wolf companion tagging along. Some might have flaws as well, whereof a few can be quite serious like being blind, crippled or insane.

As a Necromancer, you can tailor your minions' abilities by using different balsams on the corpses you bring to "life".

There is actually quite a bit of customization that happens as your dungeon evolves. You don't have much control over their individual skill development, but they do get better, and there's a huge amount of customization around the items you provide for them. Minions who have a lot of success will also start to require better living quarters in order to continue to move forward. You start to become attached to your powerful veterans, which allow you do take on harder challenges, but also hurt more when they are lost.

I also find it valuable to rename some of them as they begin to separate from the crowd. Helps the whole place to have a stronger feeling of "being alive."
