Dirtiness Needs To Be Tweaked

I’ve seen people complain about how easily it was to get dirty and for the most part it didn’t bother me since the gear I was using didn’t show the dirtiness very well, but now that I found a hounskull helmet and some more noticeably dirty clothing it’s starting to get annoying how quickly and easily Henry gets dirty. Like within 200m of walking after taking a bath his helmet is completely caked with dirt again, making the helmet look disgusting. I appreciate the filth mechanic, but as it is right now there may as well not even be a clean state considering how quickly you become dirty.

Don’t get me wrong. I fully understand this is the dark ages where people chucked buckets of shit on the side of the road, but shouldn’t that only really apply to your lower body only and even then specifically to your boots? Why is my helmet getting filthy? I’ve worked dirty jobs before(farmhand, waste disposal, moving, etc…) and even after a whole day of trudging through literal feces never got anywhere near as dirty as Henry seems to be able to. I think the dirtiness needs to be seriously toned back. I’m walking down the muddy road, I’m not using it as a slip-n-slide. It’s not really realistic.

I concur. You get dirty way too quick just walking around. My clothes aren’t getting dirty from walking around. I’d have to roll around on it first!

Agreed, I’m thinking of buying the game again and they still haven’t adjusted this further? I’m all for the mechanic but damn it’s like you’re always the dirtiest person around.

Each time I see dirty Indro on youtube videos I imagine that buckets of shit were poured out right on his head. :smiley:

I support your suggestion. Dirtyness progression should be slowed a bit: 0.5 or even 0.25 of current speed.

More like 10%. It takes literally 10 minutes of normal play for my character to become completely covered in shit. The algorithm they use to calculate dirtiness should also consider body part contact too.

i heard the air in the czech is dirtier than most places so maybe it is realistic. because they didnt have much soap and that when they clean then i can kinda imagine getting dirtier if you bath in a bowl!
