So far what I have seen on my characters was minor and appropriate - it made them belong to the enviroment.

I also notice that the dirt does translate at least into some clothing - for example tomb raiders had splashes of dirt on their clothing. I did notice that sorcerer's tunic is indeed clean all the time - perhaps the system hasn't been added to that particular item yet?

EDIT:
Logged backed in and notice Laelz was quite bloodied. Armor is bloodied as well - there were better shots with blood more visible on the armor during the conversation, but I found it tricky to capture.

I think it's very nice. What doesn't quite click, is that Laelz looks like she took a beating - while it was the other way around. Perhaps blood from enemies/your blood should be slightly different?

That's nice, I hope they continue to evolve the idea and apply to environments.
