Yes, there are more stress boxes, which is indeed important, but that's only half the problem. The other half, and maybe the more important half, is that rather than acting every third or fourth action (I'm making assumptions about equal spotlight, obviously) you're acting every other action. Far more actions per session than with more players. The more rolls you make the more stress you're going to end up spending to push, resist, and whatnot. This made even more true when you consider that with fewer PCs you will inevitably be rolling more often on less dice more often than with 3 PCs because you (in most cases) have less skills covered at multiple dots.Taking on scores for two doesn't really change the above, although that part of your argument I completely agree with. However, I think bad decisions there only exacerbate an existing issue rather than being the core cause of it.  <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤷‍♂️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937-2642.png" title="Man shrugging    :man_shrugging:" data-shortname=":man_shrugging:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /></blockquote>
