Left Handed

Out of curiosity does any other (left handed) wizard feel that they should be able to hold their wand/staff/sword in their left hand? I feel that being able to choose also brings a more realistic characteristic to the game because EVERY wizard can't be right handed. I'm left handed and would rather my wizards be left handed as well.

I would love to see left-handed Wizards. Not giving us that option is, frankly, handism on the part of KingsIsle.

Yeah, I know how you feel. It's hard to be a lefty in a world of right handed. I've played a lot of games where you need to be right handed to make it easier. Though truthfully I really don't all that much care if my wizard holds it in the right hand, it's not like we ever write with the wand so *shrugs*

I'm a righty and I think this is a great idea! I'm not sure if this can be done in the game, but it's a great idea.

Even though I'm a righty, I think it's an awesome idea! I was actually thinking about this a couple days ago XD If this ever happens, I might make my wizard hold her wand in her left hand just to be different XD

Simply just put in an option to switch it in the options, in my opinion.

I think an option that will please everyone is the ability to swap between hands. That way, righties could keep their wand in their right hand, lefties in their left, and ambidextrous people could change it at will, all without having to make a new character.

Think of how long it's going to take. KI'll have to reskin every single torso clothing item (with colors) to make left handed wands. It will take longer than Celestia. xD

There should be a choice if you are right handed and left handed. Even for the people that already have an account; if their email is activated, there should be an email sent to them asking what they want.

I think there should be an ambidextrous option where you can choose to put your wand in your left hand, right hand, or both at once :)

P.S. I'm not ambidextrous, I'm right handed. But with this then you could change your wand-holding style at any time, and I think holding two at once would be cool.

Having two wands or being ambidextrous is allowed only if you actually get no special effect from the other wand. This way, people who think it would look cool gets it, but doesnt necessarily become any stronger than others. To make up for this, only one wand scould be needed for holding two. I know, kind of unrealistic, but remember, games isnt supposed to be like real life. And its all about fairness anyway.
