Provision of toilets in 'Adventure Y'?

'Adventure Y' promises to provide some continuity between BG1 and BG2, which obviously means the subject of internal plumbing is going to have to be addressed. Perhaps the most significant difference between the two games is that in Baldur's Gate, despite the existence of an elaborate sewer system, there are no toilets, while in Shadows of Amn toilets abound (there are four on the first level of Irenicus's dungeon and a Sewage Golem to keep them serviced, which suggests that the real reason behind big Jon's behaviour could be that he is suffering from IBS and has a fear of getting caught short).

A decision must have been taken on this subject but the devs remain strangely quiet on the matter. It's time to make your voices heard people. Do we want toilets in 'Adventure Y'?

    Yes, that is definitely something we need to worry about. A high priority for sure.

    As far as I'm concerned, the game can happily be more medieval in regards of sanitation: to me, the sewers is a very outworn setting that always, in any game, seems to boil down to monotonuous tunnels, spiders, slimes, otyughs (or comparable filth-eaters) and cultists.

    Just show all the toilet being built... maybe they are a new thing in town? :)

    Only if a new system akin to fatigue is introduced. I don't think I need to explain.

    The devs are staying ominously quiet on this. You don't think it something they have overlooked?

    To be fair being ominously quiet is the best kind of quiet.

    The main thing is to get a toilet in the Adventure Y so that you have to reach your hand in to get something special. A Ioun Stone of Cleansing for example, granting your character is clean as an Elven arse.

    So long as there's enough toilets for me to throw up in I'll be happy.

    There was a gem hidden in the De'Arnise toilet, wasn't it?

    As long as there is a gazebo, we do not need toilets :smiley:

    There must be, if only for the glory of Mr Helloween's goodies in the toilets trope
