Hello!

May sound weird but one of the first thing I use to look up (in RPG's) is if I can put my sword in my left hand just as I would in real life.
I hope this will be the first game I will be able to do it. It might not feel like a big deal for you right handed but it would make a nice feature.
As much as the wind and tree effects will imrove the "feeling" in the game, to be able to use a sword with my left hand will.

Excuse my bad english, it's not my native language.

I'm so looking forward to this game!

You can place your preferred weapon in whatever hand you wish with the new system. :thumbsup:

Umm... Are you asking whether or not you can? The game allows you to equip any one-handed object or spell in either hand. So you should be able to use your sword left-handed and carry your shield in your right.

But if you were to hold a 2handed sword I think you would still swing righty. Not sure if you can switch on the 2h

You can equip anything you want in either hand.

You have a sword in real life, weird.

On topic, I hope you can weild a sword to your feet because Khajjit look like a lion/tiger, and lions and tigers use all fours.

Woot! Another nit-pick issue fixed.

My Nord wont be wielding any weapons with his left hand(im right-handed), but yea im sure you will have the option to wield weapons in either hand.

Yeah i have antique swords in real life to.....is it bad if they were a birthday present for me when i was 7?Also.
Lol wut?i dont get what you meant by "wield a sword to your feet because khajiit look like a lion" there are several types of khajiit but we will be playing the most common type the "stand on two legs furry ones" not the "horse cat's"(a favorite in the elesweyr brothels)

How is having a sword in real life weird? I have one too :toughninja:

I'm a lefty and in theory, playing as one sounds great, but I've been playing games with right handed mechanics forever, plus the controllers (for us console users) are designed with righties in mind. So I will probably stick to what I've been doing for years because I'm accustomed to it now and it would actually feel strange to adopt my real life dominant hand.

How would the mechanics of the controller make a difference? If you put it in your left hand, it's no longer RT to attack, it's LT. The only thing that might bother me is the weapon being on a different side of the screen.

It probably wouldn't take long to get used to, but you'd be pushing the opposite trigger to attack and vice versa to block and as you said, it might be a little visually confusing at first. I could do it actually with some practice and probably not a lot of it. I guess I was just remembering back to when I tried to switch the control mechanics on the controller in shooters. So, you'd walk with the opposite stick, but then if you have to jump over an obstacle for example, you'd have to move your thumb off the stick over to the face buttons to jump. In essence, you stop walking, ceasing forward momentum, and jump in place instead of forward. However, that is obviously a different issue and doesn't really apply, so I could actually get away with playing a lefty character pretty easily, and it seems I'll be able to.
