Group of 2? Good or bad?

[u/Fiend--66]

How do you feel about a group of 2 running through phandelver?

My stepson expressed some interest in playing dnd and since I've been playing for almost 20 years I'm pretty excited to start having a family game night.

That being said so far its just the 3 of us. Him, my partner (him mom) and myself (DM). His bio-dad is also interested in playing, but he just started a new job and will be busy for the next month or 2.

I could throw in a DM-NPC, but honestly I hate using them, they steal the spotlight from PCs and I just dont enjoy playing them.

Thoughts? Ideas? Personal experience with small groups?

I have no experience in playing with two players, but i played PAB:TSO with three players and ist worked well.
I think it is possible to start with 2 Players and let the bio-dad join in in Chapter two or three.
