Lack of sanitary items

Lugaldu · April 20

So, my friend and I are discussing this right now — why are there hundreds of different lamps in Tamriel, but only two bathtubs? And why isn't the Chamber Pot Throne available for purchase yet? What about other models? Or any at all?
Please, let the people of Tamriel have a little more comfort in the bathroom!

Explains why everyone is so itchy. Sit your toon down, they start itching pretty quick.

Even the bankers tell me I'm too fragrant... We definitely need more bathroom stuff!

twisttop138 · April 21

It's funny, in many MMOs with housing, the bathroom isn't thought about. My ships and houses in swtor many years ago, no bathroom. ESO has no bathroom. In fallout 76, they started releasing bathroom items and I was awe struck. Such a simple thing, a shower, a toilet and a sink to place as you please. Yes it's a more modern setting, meaning it's very obvious when your build is missing it, and the world has tons of bathrooms but these poor citizens of Tamriel. Maybe this explains all the cults and trouble. The 3 banners war, because the white gold tower has a bathroom.

I don't have the heart to tell you all how human waste is handled in games set in the medieval age.

In the Late Middle Ages, chair-like constructions with a chamber pot underneath did exist. So I don't see why something like that should not exist in ESO. Let alone lots of the things we see in game are not actually medieval.

LunaFlora · April 21

the housing developers could probably convert chair assets of more furniture styles into Chamber Pot Thrones.

I just go outside. It's absorbed back into Nirn, just like corpses are.

There are buckets, which do double duty for shower and chamber pot. Just don't use the same one.

We cast illusions to appear as food and send it to the Pact. lol

The waste is despawned because if it piled up, it would cause server issues.

I just use a portal.

just give me a sponge on a stick and a pool of water and i'm good.

One good thing: It's always interesting to see what toilet furniture ESO's housing enthusiasts cobble together. Very creative!

All you need is a stool, a bucket, and a potion of true shot.

Don't forget a towel

Always nice to imagine that in the public bathrooms...

They can look at old toilets and stuff too if they don't want to give us too many things like the chamber pot thrones.

That's some random AI picture.

Thanks. Saw it on some random blog post about ancient toilets but didn't think to double check it. I'll edit it out. I think this one's better. Google says this one is not ai it at any rate.

Umbracat449 · April 22

Toilets yes, but it's the missing bathhouse and sweat lodges that is really noticeable.

The nords would have had the saunas/sweat lodges like the cold countries do irl, there'd be bath houses heated by the steam/ water off the volcanoes... etc etc....

LadyLethalla · April 22

Single Alinor fountains make a reasonable toilet.

Shipping it into oblivion. No wonder the daedric princes keep trying to destroy us.

Most games I've played haven't had bathrooms, which has always seemed odd. When I first played Starfield I was shocked when I found bathrooms and showers all over the place. I thought that was a cool touch of realism that most games don't have.

Did npcs react if you entered the wrong one? I know in the Deus Ex games they did (surprising for players who explored all rooms in every location out of habit).

To Oblivion? Nah.

I would like yee old peasant's bucket. One that you can actually sit on.

SilverBride · April 22

A sarcophagus without a lid makes a nice bathtub. The single Alinor fountain behind it at one end works well as a water source. This same sarcophagus standing on end makes a great shower cabinet.

I've put bathrooms in a lot of my houses but only put a toilet in one, and that was for comedic value. I just don't think of my characters as doing their bodily functions in their houses.

Lugaldu · April 22

Well, of course it's also fun to get creative and build things yourself that seem to be rare in Tamriel.

But still: I really hope the devs take pity on us and at least let us buy the only Chamber Pot Throne in the Housing Store.

Fallout 76 has had toilets and sinks for years. The shower is fairly new, but I've had a complete bathroom in my Diner camp for several years.It's more of a modern/real life setting though, so it's not entirely surprising when ESO doesn't have toilets, there's no plumbing I've seen besides the Dwemer building parts.
