How do you backstab a Dragon?
Your memory serves you well, The Vikings were indeed very clean, bathed regularly, made there own soap, combs for hair and beards. Heated bath houses were common.

So on reflection as Nords are based on Vikings they no doubt bath.

I'm more concerned with the total lack of toilets in Skyrim. :eek:
Since the flush toilet wasn't even invented until about a hundred years ago, is it really all that surprising that they're using buckets given Skyrim's timeframe? At least they're one up from a hole in the ground.

Or they just don't do it. I think since Skyrim is based of Nordic culture, I think you could look at Viking bathing habits.

Funny thing, apparently, if I recall, vikings actually had better bathing habits than the other Europeans at the time. That is just from memory. No quotes :p

Buckets. Look at red water den. And some bandit/Mage forts. Buckets in little corners or little areas.

Also that mine in the beginning near the guardian stones. Around some corner there is a small enclosed room opened from one side. On the floor are some planks with a square hole and a bucket fitted perfectly in the opening.

That toilet sounds worse than a festival toilet! :confused: If its the only one its going to get a lot of use, and Nords don't look like they eat a lot of roughage!

It's not the worst one though. Mistwatch has a room an area in the middle of a hallway with 4 stalls with low walls, buckets, stools and even books to read. Of course it's not the only place that has a Potion of the Hero or something like that. What for, who knows. :)

I remember those toilets, dark, dank and had a man standing guard over them right? Oh and no privacy at all, guess they based on the old Roman communal toilets.

I usually like to take him out from the right. That way he face-plants in to one of the buckets. :)
