Azandar got Naked when fighting an IA Boss!

SilverBride

I don't know what he was thinking, but I was pretty surprised to see him fighting in his underwear!

Syldras

Ah, I see. A new feature they added with the latest update.

SilverBride

I guess it could have been a Vision! Because he was quite a sight!

Allesio Gullion? From the Morrowind release. Stands around most locations near the bankers from memory. He was naked somewhere just after the release. It's the only way that I know his name.

It is not the latest feature. My Bastian was in the state of undress while facing the bosses in IA before U43.

Edit: I guess he thinks his tattoos look more intimidating than the outfit that I chose for him.

Finedaible

Ah, that must be his Fear of the Unknown ability. Super effective.

He must be very comfortable around you cohort.

Yeah, I had that with Bastian as well.

The real reason for this is that areas do take a second to load Companions when they're first summoned. In most of the side rooms, the Companions are automatically desummoned, so when you get back to the main Archive you need to give them as second to summon properly. If you pull before they're ready, well...

That's what you get when you wake your friend up in the middle of a nap.

I had similar with Isobel earlier this year, but only when spawning at a location after wayshrine/porting travel. The odd thing is that even when's she's naked, she has these odd underwear-shaped birthmarks (which obviously, I was too polite to mention to her).

Bastian looks cold.

He was in the pool!

This must be how he celebrates winning when he is out of tea.

New mythic item:

I thought you had to pay crowns for that feature?

They could have spend Azandar more attractive underwear. (Hm, maybe they thought it would distract from the fight.)

I love how discussions in the forums can evolve to 'ZOS needs to give companions better underwear' Funny topic, made me chuckle

Usually when I call for Mirri, I catch her half naked. Always wondering what was she doing just before she arrived.

Just one more of Azandar's strange proclivities revealed. I guess this one must hark back to his youth in the Alik'r

Monte_Cristo

One of his lines when summoned is "I'm here, and I'm feeling feisty!"
And when entering combat "I'm still feisty!"
So he did warn us.

M1SHAAN

I've had this happen before when I realized halfway through a stage that I had forgotten to unsummon my banker, and then did so in the middle of combat. I didn't expect it to auto-summon my companion because I was in combat and you can't usually summon them while in combat, but the game was perfectly happy to summon them, just not their equipment. I felt so bad that I'd put them in that situation! Though it definitely had Skyrim-farmer-NPC-drops-everything-to-run-up-to-a-dragon-and-punch-it-in-the-face energy

ApoAlaia

Given the state of (un)dress and the positioning I think Azandar might have taken a page of R. Lee Ermey's 'Gny. Sgt. Hartman' literally.

Specifically the famous tirade that his character unflinchingly closes with [...]I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-[CENSORED] you!'

Walking around in her underwear at home like every normal Dunmer.
Do you know how hot the weather can get in Morrowind?!

Yeah, he had been a prize boxer. Boxing dunerippers in his underwear already back then.

A sign of high rapport.

You mean with high rapport he would be wearing nothing at all?
I get it: ZOS is preparing us for companion romance.

From the times I see this happen with my companions, I think it is specifically if you engage the boss fight too quickly after leaving the portal from a side objective. The game spawns the companion back in, but doesn't do so entirely with gear and skills loaded out until the combat ends.

Having a naked man in the fight increases the heat!
