Ok, without Spoiling anything like Questlines or Quests
Does Azandar at ANYTIME in the future of having him a Companion that he STOP's calling us "Cohort"?

Thanks

    Honestly, Azandar just bugs me... I'm glad I've relegated him to tank role that I'll only be using against World Bosses and for soloing group dungeons; his whole arrogance is extremely off-putting.

    Love Sharp tho!!

    What's wrong with cohort? It's a pretty neutal if not friendly term that fits Azandar's eccentricity.

    he calls you cohort because to him you are a research collaborator. Just like the main quest lady in Necrom calls you proxy for reasons. Or a certain blind dude calls you vestige. At least the Necrom story lady also calls you Fate's Chosen

    And no, as far as I've seen (haven't reached max level yet, got max rapport, though) he still calls you cohort.

    I like Azandar, because he is not the stereotypical companion. He has a lot of quirks and his appreciation of tea is quite endearing.

    Azandar's dislike of picking fungi, arrogant attitude, and mediocrity in all roles keeps him on the bench for me.

    Azandar makes a pretty awesome healer too, if you kit him out in gear so he can survive. He actually healed better than a healer we had to kick in a vBRF. he stood in stupid a couple of times and died, but mostly he was great.

    He is also a massive hypocrite. You lose 1 rapport for harvesting shrooms, yet the table in his lab has mushrooms on....

    He comes across as a psychpath to me, first he exclaims he is a scholar dammit like Bones in Star Trek, then he is cackling after killing something then asks for a cup of tea. He got levelled for his passive and has now been sent off to buy me a double espresso

    The liberties that Azandar takes with the Thesaurus are the least of his sins.

    I levelled Azandar to use as a companion for my good-guy RP Arcanist. Turns out that Azandar's an Evil Chaot. He doesn't even have Sharp's excuse of being brain damaged.

    They're both benched.

    Nah, both new companions are great fun (in different ways).

    Ember still the fav tho.

    Ones that are benched for me are Mirri & Isobel.

    I'd rather have a sociopath than a big boy crybaby with mommy issues.

    Or a high and mighty white knight roleplayer.

    Or an insectophobic wannbe archeologist.

    Or a chaotic sorcerer, that rather trains magic on an isolated island, than searching for her supposedly best friends.

    Seriously, some of those backstories...

    I am on my first first week with Azander and so far am both amused and annoyed. The tea thing is kind of cute. His groans when we mount (instead of using a "portal") is somewhat endearing. Overall, as annoying as Bastion (I am almost 100% rep and actually like him), but in a totally different way. I do admit I am doing this for his passive though, and because I hope he can be a better ranged DPS then Bastion. Jury is still out on that.

    I also want Isobels passive..gawds help me.

    I keep taking him to Artaeum to gather resources, including mushrooms. He may become the only companion I end up with negative rapport with.

    He’s my partner in pomposity! Verily, he’s grandiloquent but it’s not discommodious to me!

    Cohort is endearing but at maxed out rapport, he’s still referring me to as Cohort. He does think I’m great though as he reluctantly divulges. For a man as loquacious as he, he’s reticent with his feelings. ;)

    cahoots (n.)

    "company, partnership," 1829, Southern and Western American English, of unknown origin; said [OED] to be perhaps from French cahute "cabin, hut" (12c.), but U.S. sources [Bartlett] credit it to French cohorte (see cohort), which is said to have had a sense of "companions, confederates."


    In cahoots with your cohorts.

    ROFL! Perfect retort about a cohort!

    I like Azandar, because he is not the stereotypical companion. He has a lot of quirks and his appreciation of tea is quite endearing.

    I'd forgotten about his tea interest until he said something along of the lines of '...seek out some new tea blends....' yesterday, because I though he said '...seek out some now pizza blends...' and I had to look up the chat log to check.

    I usually ignore everything my companions say but I couldn't ignore a possible reference to pizza.
