I guess a twin probably hasn't got sufficient thrust to take off from standstill on one engine, too much friction while rolling on ground ?

But even if it had thrust enough, untill speed builds up, you only have the nosewheel to counteract the yaw (dismissing differential braking, which will just make things worse). Can the nosewheel handle this ?
