To wash - too harsh

[Tawapah]

In the beginning of the game I think it's too complex to get clean, especially when it's such an important factor when communicating with NPC's.

You need to either build your own washtub or to be standing in water up to your stomach. Thus making it impossible to clean yourself in a small lake, a small stream - as well as a bucket with water or a waterskin (or multiple).

It should be possible to wash yourself in waterholes, streams or by using buckets, waterskin and even washtubs in towns (though for the latter it would be wise not to get caught, not to loose any reputation).

I wouldn't say it's complex, I'd say it's more lacking in other options. It's a bit annoying when you are in a village that isn't near a deep enough lake or river and villagers won't talk to you.

Your only option is to run all the way to the nearest lake, jump in and run all the way back hoping that you won't be dirty again by the time you get there.

What I've ended up doing now is building a washtub just outside the villages so I don't have to do all that.

This is only really an issue in the valley as the Oxbow villages are all near a deep enough water source.

Yes. Build a tub, fill it with water where there is no other way to wash. Just have to do it once for each location.

To anyone who had bathed in the outdoor, what kind of water body is considered "good" for bathing?

For me, I certainly do not want to bath in a stagnant pools of water that is not even knee deep. For moving water, it should be ok as long as it has enough water to scoop up with two hand easily without disturbing the sediment.

Lets see, there are 4 Campfires with NPC´s
and i am very sure all have deep water nearby

Some villages are far away from water. Six of the ten villages are a good distance away.
