Rumours about the "Unarmored"-Skill - only rumoures?

hey

I read something weird today, on THIS page.

Read it yourself:

There is a terrible bug in Morrowind (and never fixed) that causes unarmored not to work when not wearing any armor at all! Read that again: when not wearing any armor, the armor rating from the unarmored skill is not used by the game engine, and you have no protection at all.

I was...shocked. Can somebody confirm this? Or better: deny? I never noticed any bugs. I'm playing a monk right now and I have unarmored as one of my major skills. The armor class rises the higher the unarmored-levels get. Thus it seems to be working, right? I have some mods installed though which change unarmored - dodge mod for instance. Can anybody clear things up? I'm thinking of asking around on the tes-board but I would need to look for my nick and password first, so.....

nah nothings wrong the unarmored does work because my brother had a character with 54 armor without any clothes.

Yeah, my guy also has natural defense in the 50's when not wearing any armour. I think whoever wrote that article must have had a bug or somethin going in their game.

it is in fact bugged, The Ar shows up but it doesnt calculate into damage resistance unless you are wearing a piece of armor.

The trick is to use the crappiest piece of armor you can find.. Like a padded gauntlet.

Or perhaps a bound piece of armour?

Well... leather boots... those made by Braddock are realy nice... but sadly.. it requires Tribunal.. But as for things allready in this game.. i would say that crappiest armor in this game is cloth bracers..

Or just the boots of speed, they have really poor AC

Damn...any inofficial patches available? Doubtful, I know, but hey....

But I think this is a chance to use the iron bracers which can be found in Haldenshore (mod). Using them one can block attacks while fighting with bare fists.

I was just wondering,
would this bug also be in the Xbox version of the game?

Hmm...yes? It's the same version of the game, isn't it?

I have another problem though. What if you play a werewolf in Bloodmoon!? You get an unarmored-boost, don't you? But you can't wear any armor thus it should be totally useless.
