BGG has a way for people to rate playing a game by number of players, but with Descent it is more relevant to rate playing the game by the the number of heroes (since a player can play more than one hero).[poll=109319]
The reason for my question is that I may start a campaign game soon with two other players and I would like feedback on what people think is the optimum number of heroes for having a balanced game. I was planning on using one hero per player because the game would run quicker, but some forum comments about 2 hero games being severely unbalanced (in favor of the overlord) has me concerned. I don't have a problem going with 2 heroes each, or even 3 heroes total (we can jointly control the third hero) if that provides a more balanced game.
Thoughts?
