Agreed. Who at Larian Studios thought that the players wanted realism to come in the form of filthy faces. We go thru all of the trouble to customize our pretty faces in the character creation. We love to see our pretty faces so much, that we have an option to turn helms on / off. But.... when we do turn off helms we are confronted with a bloody, grimy, filthy face. If we can turn off helms,certainly we should be able to turn off bloody dirty faces.
