Maintaining a clean appearance is crucial in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Your hygiene directly impacts how NPCs perceive you, influencing dialogue options and quest outcomes. Neglecting cleanliness results in penalties to your Speech and charisma, hindering persuasion attempts.
Here's how to cleanse yourself in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2:
Why Cleanliness Matters:
A pristine appearance improves NPC interactions, granting easier access to information and smoother conversations. Dirt and blood significantly detract from your persuasive abilities, even with high Speech skills.
Cleaning Methods:
Three primary methods exist for achieving cleanliness: troughs, bathing spots, and bathhouses.
Troughs:
Commonly found in towns and outposts, troughs offer a basic cleansing option. Interact with a trough to wash away some dirt and blood, but this method doesn't clean your clothing.
Bathing Spots:
Located near larger bodies of water (rivers, ponds), bathing spots provide a more thorough clean than troughs. Submerging yourself partially cleans both your skin and clothing, though not completely. An example is found west of the Nomads’ and Cumans’ Camps in the Trotsky region.
Bathhouses:
For the most effective cleaning, visit a bathhouse (usually found in larger towns). While requiring a small Groschen fee, bathhouses offer the most comprehensive clean, removing all dirt and blood and thoroughly washing your clothes. Regular visits are recommended for optimal cleanliness.
