    Why do left-handed people make such a big deal about being left handed? it doesn't make any difference to me, I do not care what hand people use to do anything. Why is it some kind of absolute must that your ingame avatar be lefty just because you are?

    Most people don't care and don't really even notice which and people are doing things with.

    Besides, if they were to implement this, the best way to do it wouldn't be a character creation option. The optimal method would be allow you to simply equip arms in either hand. I absolutely wouldn't mind seeing it down the road, but it's not something I'd like to see them divert resources for with the launch impending.

    True, there are very few left-handed people here in meanwhile there are many right-handed people against this thread.

    The same reason why I was against the in-game voice chat.

    Except in this case it's only a totally aesthetic thing. You're not hampered in any way by your character handing their weapon in the common hand any more than I am when Link holds his sword in his left.

    It's a simple fact that more people are right handed than left. That doesn't make one group of people better or worse than another, you just can't change that fact.

    Therefore, it's not worth complaining about, because in the end, it doesn't matter which hand you use, or which hand your character uses. It's a fair bit work for something that's purely cosmetic.

    Intrestingly, though in most cases I am right handed, on the keyboard my left hand is dominant- I tend to reach over to the right side of the keyboard with my left hand rather than keeping every finger where it "should" be all the time.

    Note: I'm not against the idea, I just don't consider it important enough to divert any development resources.

    It wouldn't matter to me if characters in the game were all left handed. I just don't see why the handiness of your character must mimic the handiness of your actual self. I honestly like my avatar to be as different from me as possible.
