Can you play the entire campaign/story in coop?

Wanting to buy this with my buddy can we play it together and experince everything you would experience if you play solo? Does the progress save? Can you join from 1st second or have to play alone to some extent..Also does the difficulty scale with number of people playing?

Everything is playable in coop besides 3 missions, the tutorial mission at the very beggining, the final mission to the main story and the final mission in the Following DLC.

progress does save between both players, if you're joins you and you play a mission he has not done it will save wehn he leaves, he will also have completed that mission when he goes back to single player.

I'm not sure if difficulty scales per player, I think that's why they have multiple difficulty settings to choose.

Every single thing is playable coop besides the tutorial and final mission.
I hope this answers your questions fully.

Yes you can. Except the endings of Campaing and The Following, as well as you need to have Prologue finished in order to unlock Co-Op feature. Everything else is available to be played in Co-Op.

The difficulty doesn't scale to your levels and neither number of people in lobby. Difficulty only scales to:

1. Story percentage.
2. Difficutly.
3. NG+.

The Following has an extremely stupid mechanizm at its end... if you do coop don't make the mistake I made: in my coop match my friend was always the driver, so I had almost no skill in vehicle handling. The last mission has to be solved alone, and you need to DRIVE.. the mission seems to be balanced around well-developed driving skills. It took my about 20 tries to finish, with several rage-quits.

Dying Light was probably the best coop experience I ever had, but the forced solo end missions are beyond stupid. Really.

This happens when you actually rush the story while ignoring literally everything else in the game, which by no means I'd recommend anyone doing. If you take a small time actually exploring and driving around, accumulating driver skill-tree ranks are quite easy.

Also, each player in The Following's lobby can spawn, refuel, customize use and drive their own vehicle.
