Under the bikini we are all just ken dolls.

No need for potties in Tamriel.

well it would certainly stop the Orc dropings all over the fields of cryodiil.
i for one am tired of my boots being ruined and destroyed just because i try to travel from castle to castle and steping in Orc dung accidently. sick of it.

You haven't noticed all those empty buckets?

I briefly considered posting one in response to this comment, but then I'd be accused of trolling again. Can't have that, now can we?

If we wanted to be realistic there should be sewage in the street, since chamber pots were generally just dumped out the window. With no universal medical care there should be rampant disease, which would lead to lots of disabled and sick homeless people panhandling on the street.

which is exactly what the nords wanted for us dark elves in skyrim. it's uncalled for to even think we dunmer have to use restrooms or baths as we are kept alive purely on magicka and inteligence.
there are no restrooms for us dark elf dunmer but the rest of tamriel citizens certanly need them.

Was there a bathroom in any part of skyrim? for humans?

I think so, there was like an outhouse. One. For all of Skyrim.

Actually, I just looked it up and it was a mod. So apparently OP isn't the only one troubled by this in TES games.

SOME people wonder why dont we have player housing, cloaks, spears, whips, dragons, auction houses in ESO...and theres some who wonder why we dont have toilets..although it is a good question lool

AshySamurai

It could be even funny. You have a few toilets in every city. Also you need to use it or you get debuff 'wanna pee' and you toon cant stand still. If you dont visit toilet you pants lost some durability. LOL!!

Cyberdown

I swear these people would halt development on the game so they could get stupid stuff that doesn't matter like children, toilets, and killable cats....

I think about how many times I was so relieved to see toilets in games like fallout or metro...wait no...didn't care...didn't add to the game to know that a non-life-like NPC could if he wanted to, out of sight, take a dump.

Just pretend everyone goes and runs off into the forest to do their stuff...

Nebthet78

See all those buckets laying around in the game? Yeah those. Those are honey buckets. That's what the world uses for the bathroom. Just like in the old days before people had indoor plumbing.

phaneub17_ESO

Chamber pots.

epoling

Sorry - I have to agree with the OP. When he was younger (12 or 13) my son was fascinated by toilets. It has stuck in my head since that games build realistic (for the setting) worlds and then leave out the most basic of human needs.

Rodario

Don't go pulling at threads like these. You might also wonder where all those people in cities live, considering there's only about three to five residences in each one.

SFBryan18

They use magic to teleport it to Oblivion. That's why the Daedra hate them so much.

BoloBoffin

Bro. Don't go anywhere without Eliminate Waste on your skill bar. ESO 101.

My guess? This is just a game where "Nobody Poops", as has been a long tradition with TOS games.

*think we are in the time of age where we supose to bath in the rivers/lakes

Just go off the side of the keep.

Rebeccas04nub18_ESO

In Skyrim there were semi private areas with a bucket and often a book. I thought the book idea was pretty funny.

Sengra

I keep a pet vampire. That keeps the body fluids down to a minimum.

For everything else I use digesti-gems. Sell them cheap to moon sugar farmers as fertilizer. Ork dung rules.

CreepySpydre

This bit of detail is left out in many mmo's. But there may be a mini portal in the chair in our 'sitchair' emote, and it drops in Mehrune's lava domain for incineration.
Thinking back in SWTOR, there were no bathrooms on board those ships, not to poop, and not to shower... it does not stink its a natural musky smell.

You are incorrect. There were many 'bathrooms' but you are thinking like a modern person with running water and toliets. Forget about all of that. Admittedly the Romans did have public bath-houses with public toliets that had flowing water through them, so theoretically you might see something like that being thematic to this series, but it is not. What you will find dotted all over Skyrim, are what people know as chamberpots. A chamberpot is just that. A pot you use to relieve yourself, and then toss out as needed. In Skyrim there were many locations where you find buckets lined up in stalls (mostly in keeps) and humorously there was reading material nearby very often. You just had to be observant enough to notice it, and not have your preconceived 21st century notions of how to go to the bathroom. Additionally, if you take out running water, there wouldn't be sinks, but there would be bowls or basins that were filled with water for this purpose.

I'm not saying I've seen this in ESO, but Skyrim did have these features available, in the vanilla game, without mods.

I go for the oblivion theory! That explains why the deadra are so angry:)

Best subject line I seen so far on these forums.

We use magic to get around all those problems.

Seriously though, until very recently in our world baths were tins that hung on the wall, and toilets were hole in the ground. It only changed en mass in Europe after world war 2. Only the very rich had special Bathrooms and porcelain toilets for quite a long portion of history. And during the middle ages virtually nobody had them.
