can i beat the game with 1 character?

[phadet]

i want to play the game with one of the origin characters just to entirely focus on their story
ofc taking lone wolf is a mandatory but will i still succeed going through everything

It's possible, but not recommended for folks who aren't experienced already. If you can confidently tackle the whole game, then you are probably able to solo it. I've done it myself, but it wasn't easy.

It's possible. Whether you are able to is up to you.

It can be done even without lone wolf. It’s just something that you’ll want experience before expecting to succeed. Just one CC on you is all it takes before you’re screwed.

As others have said, possible but tough. You'll need intimate knowledge of fights, mechanics, best build(s), and perhaps cheese techniques

Yes, just make sure you start with Lone Wolf perk.

There's 6 different solo builds there to clear the game on honor mode. Of course you're welcome to ignore the guide and just take a look at the builds.

It all depends on how you want to play. If you're looking for a challenge start without it and get it at level three in Fort Joy.

Worst case scenario you can enable 8 AP via the Gift Bags.

It depends on how you play, but personally I like figuring things out for myself and taking "Leeto Dude 2000's 10 MUST HAVE PRO BUILDS” for a walk isn't really my thing. I prefer taking an idea like experimenting with a particular skill tree, or hybrid skills or playstyle or a mix of all three and tweaking things when something stops me from moving past an encounter, the feeling of satisfaction of resolving an impasse is immense, and I learn a lot more about what's in the game to boot.

The biggest gotcha for me on my first solo game was inventory space - especially in Fort Joy where you can't just send stuff to Lady Vengeance. The game has to have enough loot for a 4 member party. As a result soloing and following ingrained habits you've learned in bigger parties of just grabbing everything fills up inv fast. You also need a strategy for things you know you'll need later but don't want to lug around like skill books, partial armour sets and weighty quest items. I tend to set up caches near waypoints, sorting my inv by weight to easily see what I don't want holding me back longer than necessary., gradually moving my stash around as I unlock waypoints furtherr into the island, so I can eventually just lug everything onto the Lady Vengeance without having to run around at the end.

The Cat is also really useful for those times where you have too much loot to move. The game will let you teleport to a waypoint, and the cat will get you the rest of the way. Chaining swaps can get you further than you think.

You can hire characters that have no story

In addition to all people already said, Lone Wolf works for a 2 member party, so feel free to pick up another guy, you don't have to focus on their story, but you also don't have to solo the game for having Lone Wolf taking effect.
