Important preface: I don’t want to see anyone using the bathroom. That’s not what this is about.
Pretty much all living creatures on earth have to get rid of bodily waste. That’s just a fact. When I see a video game location, like someone’s house, or an office, and it’s lovingly realized and laid out to be a believable place, I love it. I love when locations in video games feel real. HOWEVER if there’s no bathrooms, I’m sorry but it’s not going to work for me. It just isn’t.
Like, look at most Zelda games. Architecturally, the houses in Zelda games are all lovingly laid out. There might be a little kitchen, a table, a sleeping area. They tend to feel very “lived-in.” Except there’s barely any bathrooms! Completely takes me out of the immersion.
The reverse is also true: If I see a video game location that makes sure to include a bathroom, I’m like “now THIS could be a real place.” Love it. Makes the characters feel more human and less “puppets in a puppet show.”
Am I the only one? I can’t be, right?
