Does co-op work the same as in the first game where the 2nd (and 3rd and 4th, I guess) player controls the host's party members?

Or can each player (2nd, 3rd, 4th) have their own characters and single player campaign progress, but join the 1st player's game using one of those characters?

In the first game my friend wasn't interested because if he joined my game he made no progress and he is not interested in not "making his own progress".
