Shield in right hand? : V

» Sun Oct 09, 2011 1:00 pm

I was hoping since we have hand control now, we could put shields in right hand and sword in our left so that LMB is still attack.

It would feel weird needing to use RMB for attacks like that. Do we have any information on this?

just for pure irony....put a shield in both hands and use shield bash
(its worth a try)

You can just switch the controls around... No need for swapping hands.

Yes. No love for lefties, sorry.

1. why not just change the controls
2. you are not allowed to put the shield in the right hand

Dammit. Why would they do that.

Link isn't even left handed anymore >=[

You can our an Alteration shield in your right hand, so technically you can dual shield. It'll look amazing seeing a sweet Daedric shield in left hand and that etheral looking Alteration shield in right hand.

I was totally with you until you used the word sick :sadvaultboy:

Anyways, if you want a right-handed shield, it will have to be alteration for you. Maybe you can do that with a weapon in the left hand, though.

Really? That is interesting.

In Oblivion LMB was attacking (right hand) and RMB was blocking (left hand). Absolutely nobody complained about that. And now, suddenly, it is an issue. Some people... Really, you'll be used to it before you notice it. No doubt about it.

I wonder if this is going to be modable.

Yes, quite. :whistling:

Except now with dual hand control there is NO REASON not to switch it around

Except to prevent dual wielding shields.

edit: spelling
