zinoviy22b14_ESO✭✭✭I'm left handed myself and I understand the coding and animation limitations a game may have.
Mostly the coding. The input and reaction codes would need to be mirrored with just two different offsets.. Sounds simple but it can get heck messy.2 -
Aeradon✭✭✭✭✭It will most likely be nerfed with players complaining they don't see their characters fully blocking a left handed enemy.People keep telling me they're gonna buy me an ale. They never do.
There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's culture. And the Elves.

zinoviy22b14_ESO✭✭✭Oh and being left handed being dangerous to your health, I've read it, its all cow poo. We are raised in a right handed dominate world. We learn to cope with it.
The only lefty thing I ever cherished was scissors.. seriously BEST THING EVER.
Spiral notebooks? Use them back to front. My college professors were amazed by this.. It's a very simple fix.
Lefty nagas.. o.O I can never use a lefty mouse.. Tried it once.. it was awful. /insertgrumpycat2 -
Because if I swing right, and my enemy swings left, We'll both miss...0 -
nerrollus✭✭✭Why can't I put the shield in the right and and weapon in the left? What if I want to be left handed?
Because left handed people are all witches and should be tied up and thrown into a lake.

Those aren't heroes. Do you know who the real heroes are? The guys who wake up every morning and go into their normal jobs, and get a distress call from the commissioner and take off their glasses and change into capes and fly around fighting crime. Those are the real heroes.
You know who's a real hero? Hiro from "Heroes". That's a hero. Also Bono.2 -

MTS✭I second the OP's concern. I would like to have my character left handed as well. Even if it is only for RP sakes.0

Hawke✭✭✭✭For those who dont know, lefties make the best marksmen, to include pitchers, quarterbacks and anything else that requires skills.
Just how it is. We have been oppressed by the righties for centuries.
With that said, ZMax has other issues to contend with. I look forward to them doing this in the future, but I cannot hold my breath since you are talking some serious animation issues, even if you just copy/paste/flip..
Long live the lefties!1 -

The Latin word for left, sinistra, is exactly where the modern English word sinister comes from.
It is not coincidental that "right" means correct, just, proper, etc.
This idea of left being evil, and right being good, exists in many cultures and languages, going back long before the Latins, even.Edited by Reivax on 22 May 2014 16:091 -
Shinlee✭I've always wondered that why not left handed, i know as a lefty my self i can confuse main hand and off hand weapons, it would be nice to see left handed as a option1

Huh... I must have sunk 400 hours in that game when I was younger... I don't remember being able to make my character left handed.0 -

Left handed scissors were always weird for me too.
I ended up having to learn to shoot right handed though, because swapping out the hardware was a pain.

RangerChad✭✭✭There are diverse races, homosexuals, and cults in ESO. However there is no option to be left handed? >.> (Not bashing any of those, but the idea they have all that but no option for left handed players really disturbs me.)0

Wolfshead✭✭✭✭Lefties can't be heroes. It's science.
Well to be honest it is know fact that people that is right hand and are fence or playing tennis agains a left hand well have hard time to win agains a left hand person then agains a other right hand person so you are just talk BS to be honest.
If you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled; for you are in Elysium, and you're already deadWhat we do in life, echoes in eternity1 -
Sarenia✭✭✭✭✭Probably the same reason there is no representation of children, inter-species individuals, or many of the weapons that are common in TES games -- development shortcuts. Or balancing resource assets if you prefer.
Someone also noted a lack of colorblind options awhile back.
There's no built-in speech-to-text engine either, for people who require such.
There are any number of niches that aren't catered to. I have no opinion on whether this is "good" or "bad" -- it simply _is_, for the same reason that many styles of mouse are created for right-handed people exclusively.
If they decide to dump resources into catering to such niches, left handed animations will probably get sent to the bottom of the queue.Edited by Sarenia on 24 May 2014 05:33[beta_group_85b_9]1 -
Well I have been left handed all my life (could you imagine that?) But I use my mouse right handed, but the thing that really bothers me is this:
you block with your left hand using the right mouse button and attack using your right hand with the left mouse button.1
