Coop with mixed real players and AI?

[LCG]

My wife and me considering to buy and play this game. Can you play Coop with say just two people and the other two AI or is coop forcing you to play with 3 real other players?

yes it is possible, just make the lobby private and you can fill the rest of the empty slot with AI.

You start an online session. Invite your wife. Whoever is in slot 2 and 3 of your party will join you as AI. Make sure you make the quest closed. If its open it'll try matchmake !

Thanks both of you. That´s exactly what we wanted to know.

Hi, im a bit late to the thread
but does anyone know how the equip as well as masteries etc. are handled when doing this for the AI?
Like playing as 2 people with 2 AI, will the AI have the gear and masteries the host player unlocked for them or how does it work?

The AI partners are based on the host's equipment/masteries/skills placed on the character. Any players that are not the host have no bearing on the AI partner's settings.

Do note that the story is primarily single player.
To my knowledge you can't coop this, except for a couple of side quests.

Yeah, this is worth repeating. You can't play the story co-op, unfortunately. Only side-quests can be played co-op, and they (in some cases) drop you straight into a fight with a boss and end after it's defeated or (in other cases) have you taking on waves of normal enemies in a very limited area until an objective is met. The longer (mostly) linear map experiences from the story are not available in co-op.

The story is the significantly smaller part of the game.
If you only play story you straight up miss a bunch of bossifghts.
