How does multiplayer work in Divinity Original Sin?

They say the game is "multiplayer coop". But how does the cooperation work, in details? And how many players can play the same game? I've read it can be played only by two players but it seems a bit reductive to me, I would hope it could be played by a full party (4 people or more).

Thanks in advance for any replay.

EDIT: to anyone interested, here's the link to the 4players mod: http://www.larian.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=504225

The character he or she occupied in your game will become AI again, until he or she will be invited again by you to join.
