Can you duo this game?

[Rager]

Wife and I want to play, but we want to go at our own pace. So can this game work fine with just two players?

[TigerTabCat]

The majority of the time I play its Duos. It works just fine, but you both have to be playing decent for the difficulty you're on.

Yup you will get used to the bots, they do stupid things in some situations but they can be pretty efficient. You should be fine.

If your first games feel really hard just persevere a bit : both you and your characters will get xp, you will get items with better power and things will become a bit easier.

Know that bots use the items you equip their character with, you will want to open some chests with them at some point so they can get decent gear. I think their level scales with the player but not sure about that.

Bot's have the same power as the current power of the host, but use whatever talents and items they were equipped with last.

Thank you, just to make sure "power of the host" you mean hero power + item power ?

You can find more info on similar threads. But yes, more or less if you're willing to put forth the effort to improve your bots and learn their behavior quirks, duo can work.

The bots are, quite frankly, mentally challenged. You might be hiding from a patrol and Bardin Bot will jump out of the bushes, yell "Surprise!", throw a cake in the face of the gigantic Chaos Warrior and pull his pants down and moon the Storm Vermin patrol. Then you get hammered into the ground. Thanks Gimli.

The bots have limitations, but they are easily worked around once you learn the maps and common enemy spawn areas. Two human players is more than enough to tackle any challenge this game can present at any difficulty.

So... you mean Stephen Hawking, Stevie Wonder and Stevie Nicks could do Legendary?

Apparently this game works wonders with couples! I have not better companion than my wife in this game and we beat with ease everything legend difficulty throws upon us.
Deeds/twitch though is an entirely different story...

It means, the Bots mirror the Level, Hero Power, equipped items, Talents and Career of the Host's characters. For example, I have Kruber at level 30, decked out with all Reds and when I'm not using him, his bot has all the Items and Talents I have on him.

When I get sick of failing with PUGs, I do legend with bots, and it's more often than not, a lot better... Configure your bots the right way, and they are better than the majority of players, it seems...

[Fenrii]

I rather much prefer playing this game more with bots than with players lately thanks to a mod that recently got sanctioned. I say having 2 players and 2 bots is a perfect experience for me.

I'm sure you will find a way to have fun.

People who are in the 0.1% of gamers don't need to spend 1,600 hours on a single game.
