Choosing which hand is dominant

[Random47]

I'm sure this has been mentioned a lot here, but when I searched I didn't find a thread that concentrated on this only, if I missed it just post the link and I'm sorry for posting.

Anywho, as a left handed person myself I find it annoying that in most games it is completely overlooked which hand you fight with. I would just like a feature that asks if you're left or right handed during character customization. Not much, but it would make me and probably all other left handed people happier with this already great game. That's all, thank you for reading my suggestion.

Thank you,

Erm...I'm left handed, and I don't care very much...the majority of people are right handed, and everything has to be right handed now, lest the gods have wrath on us.

It's minor, but it DOES get a little annoying. At least Link from the LoZ series is left handed(save TP for the Wii).

I thought that people back then thought it was a curse to be left handed, and there were some tricks to "make" them right handed, by strapping their left hand to their back, and forcing them to use their right hand.

Oh, if that is really true. I had no idea. I'll research that real quick actually.

I found a site with some information on this, you are right using your left hand was not very widely accepted in medieval times, but it wasn't found evil by everyone so you could find someone that is left-handed, but it wasn't very common at all really. And I guess that settles choosing to be left handed then. Thank you to the people that responded.

P.S. This is the site I found on left-handed people in medieval times. Just in case you're curious, it's pretty interesting. http://www.dpjs.co.uk/lefthandpath.html

it ****s up a decent shield wall, like if you have rhodok spearmen who create THE perfect shield wall versus cavalry, and one of them is left handed, that will result in a huge gap and thus a weak spot
