Um, how to "start" with 2 lone wolves?

[LinkZeppeloyd]

Hi all, I've completed the game on tac with a group of 4, and I'd like to do a new run with two lone wolves. But the oddest thing ocurred to me, and I can't find mention of it anywhere.

1. HOW do you do "two lone wolves" before act 2? Is that even possible? I can of course choose the lone wolf trait with my main character, but I can't choose that for the companion I choose, at least not until act 2 respec mirror.

Is that right? No dual lone wolves in SP until Act 2?

Two methods.

1. Run directly to the Origin Character you want to be your lone wolf buddy (excluding Ifan) after the ship gets wrecked so you can get them at level 1. Avoid all situations that could potentially give you XP because the game autoselects talent points if they're available. Then you can pick Lone Wolf as soon as they get their next talent point before engaging in any serious combat.

2. Open two instances of the game and make a multiplayer lobby, then create two characters from the very start with the Lone Wolf talent.

Yeh, its annoying. You just have to select it on a level up that offers a talent. So rushing to that companion as fast as possible is the best way. You get it at level 3, so all you have to do is recruit them as a level 2 and pick it up as their level 3 talent. Otherwise you have to wait til level 8, and you'll pretty much be on the vengeance at that point.

Yeah, you can get the talent without the mirror.... Just choose it on level up, the first available talent is early enough.
