Why Maintain Cleanliness?
Cleanliness significantly influences how NPCs perceive and interact with you. Being covered in dirt or blood will make conversations difficult, even with high Speech skills. Dirt and grime impose a debuff on your Speech and charisma, making persuasion checks considerably harder.
How to Clean Yourself
Three primary methods exist for cleansing Henry: troughs, bathing spots, and bathhouses.
Troughs
Commonly found in towns and outposts, 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 (rivers, ponds), bathing spots offer a more thorough clean than troughs. Submerging yourself partially cleans both Henry and his 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 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. Regular visits are recommended for optimal cleanliness.
