I guess we'll still need mods for FromSoftware games.

From the original interview:

IGN: Sure. [Laughs] Back to the game, one thing that wasn’t clear to me yesterday. Do you have to play it online in a group of three, or can you also play it solo or in a duo?

Junya Ishizaki: The game is designed to be played as a three-person team, but you can play it as a solo player.

IGN: Oh, great. Or in a pair?

Junya Ishizaki: No, it's either one-player or three-player.

So it's either single player or three humans.

That's so weird. Why not give an option for two? What if a lot of players only know one other player? What's the reasoning for "one, or three players"?

Just their artistic vision and game design philosophy, which I can both respect and go WTF at the same time. Like with their steadfast refusal to provide the option to turn off invasions.

Turning off invasions while still playing coop you mean? Cause offline mode turns off invasions (duh). I guess invasions are part of the thrill in their mind and after a random coop sunbro and I were invaded by a phantom while super low health and outta potions way into a dungeon in Dark Souls and managed to survive by hiding away together with no voicecomms, it‘s hard for me to disagree with them lol
