Guild Wars 2

I’ve always wondered this- in every game that you play, MH-Main Hand is always right hand. There should be Left handed characters or right handed characters-or maybe ambidextrous characters! Please respond and post comments if you wish to.

You’ll always get the same kind of response that it’s too much work for a minority and that right-handed people would find it uncomfortable to see.

Weirdly Zelda games had link as left-handed until they hit the Wii and barely anybody ever noticed.

Actually, it’s not too much work. All it requires is flipping/mirroring the character. Give you a choice of right or left handed in character creation and if you pick left, it just flips/mirrors your character. Problem solved. No need for new animations or anything. Just flip the character around.

And saying it is because right handed players would be uncomfortable is rather biased and rude in my opinion. Have you ever considered how left handed players feel about seeing constant right handed everything? Have you ever thought that we feel uncomfortable always having to settle for everything being made for right handed people? So it’s perfectly fine for left handed people to feel uncomfortable, but not okay for right handed people to be uncomfortable? Sorry but that’s discrimination.

You can mirror sprites but mirroring 3d animation isn’t as simple as you might think.
