So you can use a sponge and soap but you can't even chill in a tub completely naked like my man Geralt? My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

Nepenthe

•

Up til now, we've had:

• The sudden realization that you can bathe and don't have to crunch around in weeks of dried gore

• The further realization that at least one npc mentions you stink and should probably do something about that

• Standing relatively close to a waterfall for a few minutes if you can find one, or perhaps walking at a normal pace through a really deep puddle.

• Sophisticated method — stealing a water bottle, throwing it really hard at the floor, and hoping the splashback is enough

After months of steady work, we can use the soap now, but you're going to have to give your fellow gamers a minute to get used to things before you start making other suggestions

There is a cloak that makes you wet when wearing it at the start of act 3 - I always use that to clean of blood after a fight

How did I forget about that cloak!? I got that before reloading because I kept failing my attempts to steal all my money back. I didn't expect all of those to be so addictive. I loved it.

My personal favorite was the boots that grant their wearer misty step for the tradeoff of leaving all your other clothes in a pile at your starting point. Still kinda sad I couldn't snag those again.

I'm 300 hours in the game and I never heard of those two items

Kolanaki

•

I just go to my camp and back; that always magically makes me clean.

According to RPS, that's full of spoilers.

Yeah holy crap, a bunch are sentences like: Fixed an issue that would cause spoiler (MAJOR PLOT POINT) to occur later than expected

I think they meant to spoiler tag them and forgot.

Spoiler is right before the highlights in bold

TSG_Asmodeus

At the very top of the document, it says:

SPOILERS - Please bear in mind some of the entries below might contain spoilers, proceed at your own risk

But it doesn't separate them, or have any cover whatsoever. So if I want to find out if a quest that's bugged for me is fixed, or other issues, I do have to read it at some point.

This is why I think they meant to spoiler tag it and didn't (I edited it to remove actual spoiler content):

The '(GOAL)' background goal for Soldiers will now unlock correctly after you spoiler kill (ENEMY) and escape the (AREA).

Ah I've never seen a tag in their patch notes before, just the disclaimer since early access.

Swedneck

•

so is it the good kind of colour-blind settings or did they fall for the old "this is just fucking filters that simulate colourblindness" chestnut?

kadu

•

I can't test it (not colorblind) but many recent developments have been made with Microsoft's help, and for all their faults, Microsoft is usually quite good with accessibility so perhaps it's the good version.

Swedneck

•

you can still test it! go to the settings, and if all it consists of is colour filters they did a doo doo in their pants.

the problem implementation is to allow players to individually set the colours of things, here's a video that goes over how it's done right, if it looks anything like that it's good
