Feanoro Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Heh, for extra detail they could've borrowed more from the Romans than just armors for the Empire. They could've implemented public toilets! Especially with the evocative sewer system of Whiterun, reminiscent of the Cloaca Maxima of old Roman days.... P.S.: In Latin, Cloaca Maxima literally means Greatest Sewer. Funnily enough, the words have partially survived the time and in Romanian they now mean Maximum Shithouse!

invertedpanda Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Solitude has a sewer system, too. If I remember correctly, doing your business in glorified buckets was common. Hell, there were people who's job it was to empty the buckets for dignitaries when they did their less-than-dignified business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justwannaddl Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I always thought ancient people were supposed to use pots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surg23 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I think i have found a better semblance of a toilet. It's deep inside one of the Ratway catacombs where it appears the people upstairs sit on a stall and crap though a grate directly into the room below, sadly there is a guy living in that room. Was going to take a screenshot but i'm not that fascinated with human excrement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James009 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 People of Skyrim must be using something to keep the water so clean, otherwise we'd see a lot more plague and disease. This explains so much and makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahrro Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I would totally give Bethesda a thumbs up, if the books kept in these toilet areas were books such as "The Lusty Argonian Maid". ::Wink wink, nudge nudge:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModelV Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 So... where do the fine folks of Solitude go when they need to... go? I guess they could just throw their excrement over the walls of the city... How people actually went to the bathroom in western Europe in the middle ages^ Read your history please :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
