Maintaining a clean appearance is crucial in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Your hygiene directly impacts how NPCs perceive you, significantly influencing quest outcomes and interactions. A dirty appearance can hinder your ability to gather information and succeed in persuasion checks, even with high Speech skills.
Here's how to maintain your cleanliness in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2:
Why Cleanliness Matters:
A clean appearance improves NPC interactions and boosts your chances of success in dialogue. Being dirty results in penalties to Speech and charisma, making persuasion significantly harder.
Cleaning Methods:
The game offers three primary ways to clean yourself:
Troughs:
Commonly found in towns and outposts, troughs provide a basic clean. Interact with them 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 offer a more thorough clean than troughs. Submerging yourself partially cleans both your skin and clothing, but not completely.
Bathhouses:
For the most effective clean, visit a bathhouse (usually found in larger towns). While requiring a small Groschen fee, bathhouses provide a complete cleaning of both your body and clothing, leaving you spotless. Regular visits are recommended for optimal results.
