It will be possible.

You can always raise the difficulty.

It is all about having a great personal experience and supporting others in finding what works best for them.

I'm not so sure, because what we have works well for me, but my experience is invalid, because someone else would rather have more. I mean, I run the Unlimited Companion Framework mod in FO4, and my party size is 3. Before I found that, I ran a mod that let me take Dogmeat, along with another companion. Using the former mod, I could run with all of the vanilla comps at the same time, and yet I don't. Want to guess why? Pathing issues. With just one companion, and no mods, I have been pushed off of buildings or other ledges by a comp that wants to be hogged up on me, and yet, when I enter an elevator, they're in some other building, having tea with a super mutant, apparently, because they're nowhere to be seen.

There's a post in this thread where the poster found it funny that nobody has requested less comps? How am I supposed to assess "what works best for them" when they apparently don't understand that you don't have to recruit, or can even kill some of the comps, if not all, I honestly haven't tried yet? Although, after release, I'm sure at some point I will... How many comps are we going to need in order to fulfill "every class and race"? How many of each are in just the PHB, let alone official resources outside of the PHB? But that argument's been made in this thread. So, commenting on the inevitable "it's too easy" threads, which already exist, isn't unreasonable, it's going to happen, whether the party size is increased or not, and suggesting that they simply use less party members will be met with something along the lines of "but I'm playing the game the way it's designed/the way I want, so they have to "fix" it" posts. I've seen it before. Players that go to the extreme to trivialize the content, and then complain that the content is trivial... How do we "support what works best for them"?
