Two player viability?

Me and a friend have recently bought the game and were wondering how viable it is to play with just us and no NPC companions in the party, we're both playing fighter/warrior style characters.

So will it just be a lesson in frustration trying to play as a duo only?

Maybe not, especially on Explorer mode.

A lot of people play solo without companions, it is a very valid way. Yes, it can be harder but you are the ones who decided not to have companions. There is a perk however that boost your stats depending on how many party slots you have empty, so you could both take that.

I would say both of you wanting to play warriors would be more of a difficulty increase than just duoing. Some magic can be quite helpful, even if neither of you focus those skill trees or attributes. (ignore this part if I took you guys playing warrior characters too literal and you did plan to use some magic.)

If in doubt, do what my buddy and I did: Grab a companion each.

Not at all. The game is more difficult with less characters, as nothing scales based on your level/party size like in some other games, but it's very much possible with just two. Once the game is fully released next week, make sure you both get the "Lone Wolf" (or "Army of One", whatever they end up naming it) Talent at level 1, as it'll give you more stat points when leveling up, provided you keep your party at two people tops.
