The game teaches you about life. You have to treat henry as yourself like having to wash frequently to appear more confident and get people more friendly with you.
The fact you can have your hair shaved and get more charisma is amazing, or if you see a bitch at the whorehouse and get a boost. That’s all good and makes the game more fun.
Or how about you have different clothes which are good for different situations. If you want people to be scared of you pick a knights armour to be scary, or be better at haggling wear trendy clothes and posh shoes and that. Its so deep you can even customize your horse to get more credibility and be a noble.
Now when I have to do some cleaning I think anyone in my house will like me more if I clean properly with expensive cleaning product, I can literally see my stats in real life go up +1. I have some OCD and it actually really helps me do work and boring stuff better.
On 900 hrs in the game so far and still not bored yet!
