@vadagar-
Not I. It's a well-known fact that Argonians pee in the water. Just like how you never rent a room to a Khajiit, because they always shed hair in the sheets and it's a nightmare to get out.

And I'd want toilets before tubs: "Miles of sewers underneath the Imperial city; Not one [censored] toilet in any building."

See the irony in that?

LOOL so true! Even if you dont use them it would still be nice to see baths/toilets about... It just seems so stupid not to have them.........

I really doubt they will put it in, but if any of the facial/body settings are accessible in real time, such as the dirty skin layer I would make a mod where your character gets dirtier over a week or two and a soap bar you can activate which would auto remove all clothes and play a special bathing animation (great for hot female players). This would look awesome in a waterfall. I was going to do it for Oblivion, but since Skyrim is so close I'm saving this idea for it.

The Norse were very hygenic. When possible they bathed weekly, washed hand before meals, groomed their hair, had razors, tweezers, combs. brushed, and ear cleaners, etc. They had various types of colognes, also.

Some of them even had saunas.

Sibyl, my shaman-in-training would love to have a tub of hot water in which to bathe. If not available, she will use the creek, etc.

This. The sources saying that the Norse were dirty barbarians came primarily from the nearly-OCD levels of hygiene required by the Islamic Middle Easterners.
