Kat from Gravity Rush is the one that comes to mind. She lives in a sewer pipe so I can't imagine her smelling good when she goes running around taking out bad guys.
Oh god, I remember one dude thinking a little too hard about a certain Last of Us character's menstral hygiene, and how the smell would affect enemy detection during gameplay. He just kept going on and on trying to justify his weird, grotesque comments. I've never fully recovered from that thread.Man this thread is getting weird with this smelly lara talk...everyone in the witcher, geralt included, probably smells and all those villages likely smell like a mix of human and animal shit
protagonists need to poo too
LMAOUncharted games come to mind. They keep sliding around in mud and dirt or falling into water in hot and humid places. I'm just thinking about that whenever I played.
I question how Lara Croft didn't lose every single one of her limbs to infection after being covered in cuts and stab wounds while trapped on an island rolling around rooms full of mud, dirty water, and corpses.
Always use an empty bottle in water to wash it in Zelda before filling it with something else
Jokingly, it does explain why our heroes get attacked often.
If I was an animal or a monster I'd attack you as well if I had to unwillingly smell your stank swamp booty from a mile away.
In Uncharted TLL I felt bad for the heroes constantly getting soaked in their jeans and t shirts.
After just playing Uncharted LL the other day, it really showed with Chloe and Nadine near end game. The newer tomb raider games are also good for highlighting how grimy adventuring in outdoor environments for days at a time can be.
Many protagonists would have serious trench foot or some other form of immersion foot syndrome.Main thing that really boggles my mind is how the fuck do they survive with feet getting wet. Did military training service a few months ago, and one of the war games ops required me to traverse swamps almost exclusively for 72h. My feet were wet almost all the time and I could barely walk in the end, feet being blistered and all. And that's with changing socks regularly. Ofc the boots sucked a bit but considering what the peeps in video games wear, jeez.
I kept thinking, why the fuck are you wearing jeans? Some sturdy yoga pants would have been the ticket.
