Cynder.2509 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I mean it's not just the toilet paper but also the fact that everyone in Tyria needs to bathe, shower, wash hands or wash themselves at some point. The closest I came across was the "showering" place in the Grove home instance.Also I've never seen anything answering my question in gw1.I'm just curious about that detail as I'm on a writing project and I want to depict the world of the game as real as possible.I know that many other rpg themed games like the TES series for example never had bathrooms too so it's an even greater mystery for me.I know this is all just fiction and perhaps a trivial interest but this has been something I've been asking myself a long time.Also in the gw books there was no mention of washing as far as I remember.I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

Sajuuk Khar.1509 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Elder Scrolls doesn't have bathrooms because they have chamber pots. The same is likely true for Guild wars for the most part.In fact, we do see chamber pots in-gamehttps://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dirty_Chamber_Pot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have water closets.Adventurer: Like latrines?Citizen: Nope. They all flow into the same sewer system, and that all goes out to sea.Adventurer: That's more than I really needed to know.Citizen: Hey, you asked.

Uden Reavstone.3426 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 There is a large toilet in LA, right next to the bank. Some could say that it is mystic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogothanc.5014 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Elementalist dont need bathrooms. With earth or fire magic they leave no trace. They also can take a bath everywhere. They use their magic to shape a bathtube out of earth, fill it with water, heat it up with fire and for the bubbles... well... they will always pretend its air magic. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalavier.1097 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Simply put, most fantasy games don't bother inputting bathrooms because well... it's not part of the gameplay? But yes, it's reasonable to assume most larger houses have some sort of bathing room and toilet facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vier.1327 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Thinking about it... There should be , at least, 3 different bathrooms. Can an asura ad a charr take a shit in the same toilet? I think not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Keep in mind that even in modern times we only had outhouses until like the mid-20th century. There are times when societies had public bathrooms in the past, like the Romans, but for the most part people have just gone outside for thousands of years, or used a chamber pot inside when it wasn't viable to go out (bad weather, too dark, etc.) and disposed of it later.That said bathrooms likely do exist in the more developed areas of Tyria (Divinity's Reach, Amnoon, Black Citadel, Rata Sum), but for example the Norn don't even have plumbing so they wouldn't have them, and the Humans don't have plumbing anywhere except for Divinity's Reach, Amnoon and Orr, which doesn't count since it was destroyed during the cataclysm.It is specifically stated that airships have a bathroom, though its not accessible to players. Presumably all the major sea vessels like Lion's Arch galleons do as well, but again this isn't quite made apparent in game.https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NobodyPoops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
