Leveling three characters at once, any point?

I'm playing as a Warrior right now. Is there any advantage if I set up two more controllers, and have each one be a Mage and a Rogue?

It says you have to beat the game with each class; could I simply fight to the end with my Warrior, then bring in Level 1 Mage/Rogue and have them sit and do nothing, or should all quests be done?

This game is actually pretty addicting.

Thanks!

Unfortunately this doesn't work. When playing with multiple players locally, only 'Player 1' gets credit for beating the game. You have to use the other classes as player one to get credit for that class.

In your situation, you'd only get the trophy for your warrior. Since the mage and rogue aren't at the final quest yet, loading them as "Player 1" won't put you at the end of the game.

If I load two more controllers and "carry" the Mage/Rogue with me, and complete quests as I go along, this should allow me to net the "Beat the game with X class" trophies, right?

I'll just have to load the game three times, and alternate the character I have set as "Player 1"?

Thanks for the response!

The game gets harder (more mobs, more HP) with more characters playing. Having two dummy characters sitting in the corner for the whole game might make it a tad difficult. Having the screen position locked (since all characters have to be on screen) during some battles might make it even harder. Having to switch controllers all the time just to move the dummy characters would make it pretty tedious.

A tactic that might work though, load the dummy characters right before you accept a main quest so that they receive it in their quest log. Then save them and quit. Reload them right when you're completing that quest so they get credit for completing it. Save them and quit. Repeat for the whole game....

Hmmm, that's a lot better, I think. Though, I'll need to strategically load if it's a quest where I need to "Kill X" or "Slay Y number of creatures."

Thanks for the help. Last question, which class would you recommend for Legend Difficulty? I'm going through with a Warrior right now, brute strength is great, but I'm not a fan of the close-up melee. Thinking about taking a Rogue or Mage instead and just bombarding from afar.

Again, thanks!

Depends on personal play style really. But IMHO, Rogue is by far the easiest class. It's a perfect mix of ranged and melee. Lightning Attack is completely sustainable 100% of the time and allows you slice through mobs quickly in hand to hand and kite around bosses and other heavy hitters with a bow when needed. Then it allows you to quickly run through levels since it increases your run speed too. Debilitating Grenade and Round House as my other active skills allows me to stun/fear/turn mobs when I get surrounded.

I just made sure that my main character(rogue) was ahead of the other 2 characters. Play them together beat the final boss, then one at a time I fought the final boss with each character and go the trophies.

So it can be done.
