When I did start trying to control my partner durring the bonus boss fight and building up to him, I found that if you hold the system a little further away from yourself than normal it becomes much easier to control both characters. Its never NECESSARY to control both, at least not that I have found, but it WILL increase your damage output because your top character will attack more often and you can dodge better. However once you get to Another Day and dont have the one food item a day limit you can just really start building up your stats and make it to the point where you are powerful enough you dont need the extra damage output, except for on some of the later bosses on the hardest difficultys.
I guess my problem is that I started to turn up the difficulty. If there is a slider bar for difficulty that serves no purpose other than difficulty, I will always pick normal. If it does something else like more XP, I will always pick the hardest setting. (Played Fallout 3 on Very Hard, too.) After a while, the game got actually difficult, and I couldn't figure out how you're supposed to do that whole dual character thing.
Everybody seems to do the same thing: put the top character on auto-battle, and ignore them. That works up to a point. I also used skills that had the same motion, so if I run out of one, I do the other skills. Everything is so frenzied on the bottom side, I don't see how you're supposed to do math skills or some bullshit at the top. It's not like the enemies stop on one side to let you do stuff on the other.
