Option for Left-Handed character stances.

I've been thinking. ZoS has made leaps and bounds when it comes to cosmetics, costumes and personalities. This is genuinely one of my favorite things about ESO - the customisation.

But - all the characters seem to be right handed. And as a left hander, I'm wondering if there could be a slider in "Gameplay" settings, to chose a character's dominant hand. This would then mirror the character's animations (at least just on the player's screen) to make a character appear left handed. I work in animation, so I know that it something that is possible - just wondering if it was something ZoS could potentially bring to ESO in the future?

I'm hoping this isn't achieved with Personalities - as it would limit people to using that particular personality - but either way I think it would be a lovely little addition one day!

PS - Thank you so much for bringing the Breton Terrier back.

I'm 100% there.

I get that this really likely isn't gonna happen with this game - the animations have been done for ages and they're unlikely to go revisit things for something small like that that will not bring any benefit. Even though I'd love my main to be a lefty.

What I'd like is them to take this into consideration for TES6...

I was really excited when Skyrim announced we could put a weapon in either hand, since that meant I'd get to play a left-handed hero (now that Nintendo has decided that Link doesn't need to be a lefty anymore - still not over that). But on release, it just ended up being 'punching with a weapon in the off hand.' I didn't even know that there were the cinematic kills until I finally went to go play it 'right.'

Besides, I also wasn't able to block at all like that. Ugh.

Hopefully TES6 will allow us to have a proper sword-and-board lefty since I need that in my life.

As someone who roleplays a left handed character I'm all for this! Not sure how hard it'd be to just simply mirror and flip the animations but it if could be done it'd be neat!
