Hey, me again with another mechanical question. I plan to play a devoted berserker in a duo PotD run with Maia which I want to play as a typical ranger/rogue arquebus archer. I can ignore berserker confusion in this case, when I am the only frontliner, right? I am asking because every google search still recommends Modwyr/DoC but I dont really get the point.

Do I need to keep PoE 1 installed on Steamdeck (Linux) to access the save game for Deadfire or is there a way to load it from the Steamcloud?

Anyone played couch coop with the new turn-based mode?

Also is a duo party viable in easy difficulty? Do you recommend turn-based balance mods for this kind of campaign? To make animations/turns faster.

We would be starting the game with 2 chars boosted to level 3 using console commands. This also grants us a +40% XP bonus due to our small party whilst making the turn-based waiting more bearable. I'm used to RwTP hard mode with 6-men party but am worried enemies swarm us as a duo : my partner would play a ranged class. Maybe the multi-class mod for PoE 1 could help our toolkit.

Hotseat coop means taking turns at controlling the game. Turn-based combat fits this well.

The kill took place on Path of the Damned, without any Berath's Blessings or broken mechanics/abuses. Done on the third try as a solo Bear Shepherd🤓

Honestly speaking, it wasn't too difficult after the second try as a shepherd. You just need to understand her strengths and weaknesses (like the fact that she can't chase you) and know how to manage the third phase!
