Cole has a major case of helmet hair. 

[katerinafm]

 

Oh he's quite dirty, actually...

 

*Eyebrow waggle*

 

 

Yooooooooooooooooooo

[gottaloveme]

Pine cones. The answer is always pine cones.

 

I always thought that you got so much blank parchment in DAO for this very reason.

[gottaloveme]

Heh, got there before I could. I've seen that "most people died in their 30s" thing so often. But averages aren't very representative of what a person's actual life would look like, especially in a time with very high infant mortality.

 

In the 12th century - Eleanor of Aquitaine lived into her 80s still healthy and sort of spry.

If you're wandering in a dark, dank cave, I think you have more to worry about than the way your companions smell. 

 

Like running out of oxygen

 

I got to get the hang of this multiple quote thing.

 

Also to whoever mentioned toilets - DAO had kind of cut in half barrel things and in 2 they had the table with hole and long drop into a bucket. Thank the Maker for plumbing.

Naw, Solas only dresses like a hobo. I'm sure he smells like... herbal medicine and masculinity.

Don't all elves smell like vanilla?  Oh, wait, that's archangels...never mind.

[vertigomez]

Wel im going to assume Soluss feet smell he probably steps in some stuff.

Naw, people who go barefoot don't have to deal with the bog-sweat you get with shoes...

[GamerJhon]

I've always wondered what their toilets looks like. Never seen one in-game. Do they even wash their hands after they wipe? Do they wipe? What do they wipe with?

Don't know if this was already answered, but in DA Origins, Oghren makes a joke about humans washing their hands with water and soap, elves with leaves, and dwarves know enough not to ****** on their hands. So we can at least assume that humans and elves have enough ideas about hygiene.

In that case, I like to think the dwarves have some kind of plumbing. Maybe they just throw it in the lava?

Except the casteless. I'm pretty sure they're knee-deep in it.

The ancient Romans used a sponge stick...Which they shared. They rinsed it off first. lol

Theres one in Merrills house in DA2. its pretty much a hole in the ground

[Andres Hendrix]

Can mages groom themselves magically? Is that what this is about? Does anyone say unkind things about Solas's hygiene? Is cleaning magic as taxing as healing magic?

They have cleaning magic in the Witcher!(come on Bioware, get with the times lol) And slightly off topic, Triss used a spell in the 2nd game to make her clothing disapear. (come on Bioware get with the times...) lol

[mrs_anomaly]

There was a thread about the wondrous world of non lethal magics. As primarily a mage player, I choose to believe that it, my magical enchantment spell for BeClean isn't on the battle menu because it's an unmentionable. I just utilize this handy type A secret cleaning with subtlety and grace.

I genuinely just gasped and propelled myself away from the computer in horror.

[Barathos]

Pfft I share sponges all the time!

 

*Watches as everyone else dashes away*

 

I... was kidding, but ok.

The funny thing is, they still had better hygiene then those of the medieval period. Romans had one of the most advanced bathroom, and hygiene systems in the world, with flowing water etc. Then Rome fell lol.

 Intellectuals in Rome, after the fall and up until the Renaissance did not even know what the aqueduct was used for. You can find old essays that argued what it was really used for.  At its height, the ancient city of Rome was home to over 1000000 people. By the Renaissance, it was home to around 30000.Compared to us, Romans were not as hygienic, however, for their time, they were very proficient at dealing with it, and city squalor. lol

[Teshayel]

This thread makes me happy Made me laugh hard enough to choke on my tea and turn blue in the face. Worth it

As for the Romans, they had no stalls, so you could debate politics with your neighbor while emptying your bowels. Then share the sponge-on-the-stick. Roman plumbing: connecting ppl since 300 BC

What spell allows Geralt to have sex with pants on?

[Artillis22]

There's no pot in the chamber.

Who needs a pot when you have a cliff side balcony?

[Artillis22]

And to add I don't think cole would smell or even need to bath.... Hes not even human, hes a spirit.  No sweat, no bacteria, no odor.

[Chuvvy]

Considering a Mage can just conjure up a hot bath whenever I imagine they stay pretty clean

[VelvetStraitjacket]

Oh, when Viv told Blackwall he needs to take a bath I went all....eeeewwwww. I don't even want to imagine what he smells like. And Iron Bull looks like he smells like that kid in the back of the class no one sits next to....you know who I'm talking about, mhm.

[Cat Fancy]

Whoa, some strange new hair/skin disease called "the patch" seems to have infested southern Thedas. Suddenly, my poor Inquisitor has hella shiny hair and no freckles.

Before:

After:

Hope he gets well soon!

[berelinde]

Thedas has soap, but it does *not* have deodorant. Sure, it's easy for a mage to stay clean and fresh-smelling. All they have to do is wash regularly and launder their robes. But warriors? How often do you think they wash a padded leather gambeson? So yes, they can scrub themselves raw, but after a battle or two of perspiring inside their armor, they're going to reek. Stand upwind.

[Andreas Amell]

After a hard battle everyone in the team needs to take a bath. Bioware just loves to splatter the blood on the characters. Corpse blood? That can't be good.
