Huh. I've had a different experience... Well, for direwolf, at least, I'd say he is funnier and more interesting with Soaryn, and he keeps video his own no matter how many people are playing with him. Soaryn is sort of his foil; he has more visible enthusiasm and he is more sarcastic, and also capable of sillier, more childish action when presented with some new overpowered toy (although dire can have such behavior himself as well; crossbows, anyone?). They work together nicely.I beg to differ. I find when you watch a group of people, especially if you only know one of them, you lose track of who's talking.
Take PurpleMentat. He's really good on his own, throw him with other people, and he takes back-stage, and it's not really HIS video anymore.
