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 speech and charisma, hindering your ability to succeed in persuasion checks.
Here's how to maintain your hygiene in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2:
Why Cleanliness Matters:
A dirty and unkempt appearance negatively affects NPC interactions. People are less receptive to a poorly dressed and soiled protagonist, making information gathering challenging. Even with high Speech skills, grime significantly reduces your persuasive abilities.
Cleaning Methods:
The game offers three primary ways to clean yourself:
Troughs:
Commonly found in towns and outposts near buildings and shops, troughs provide a basic clean. Interacting with a trough cleanses Henry's face, removing some dirt and blood, but leaves clothing unaffected.
Bathing Spots:
Located near larger bodies of water like rivers and ponds (e.g., west of the Nomads’ and Cumans’ Camps in the Trotsky region), bathing spots offer a more thorough clean than troughs. Submerging yourself partially cleans both Henry and his clothes, though not completely.
Bathhouses:
For the most effective cleaning, visit a bathhouse (usually found in larger towns). While requiring a small Groschen fee, bathhouses provide the most thorough clean, removing all dirt and blood from Henry and his clothing, leaving him impeccably clean. Regular visits are recommended.
