My wife and I have been playing this for a while now. I love it, but she's quickly growing tired of it. The reason? She just cannot win.I always play the overlord (since she doesn't like being the evil character) and she plays two heroes. But after playing through the entire base game campaign it was brutally apparent that the OL is vastly overpowered. The only reason I didn't crush her on every single quest was because I played light and pulled punches.
This is unusual because my wife is generally a far better gamer than I. In fact, I think this is the only game I can beat her at with any consistency. Asking her to play a third hero is right out, because two heroes provide enough housekeeping already. She doesn't even like having to play more than one (can't say I blame her).
Anyone have any suggestions? Even when watching from the OL side, I can't see what she could do differently to fare any better. I've simply got too many monsters waling away at her for her to get anything accomplished. By the end of most quests, it's all she can do to keep a character conscious for a round, much less worry about winning the quest.
Are we the only ones having this issue?
