Right, said Lefty...

Post by PSY »

So...

has anybody else ever wondered why the hands of your characters in most dungeon crawler-style games are shown the wrong way round?

If you put a weapon in the hand on the left side, the game rightly assigns it to the left hand. But actually, the hand on the left side is a right hand ...

Know what I mean? :roll:

Well it's because the character interface shows the character facing you. Along with the character slots. If they made it facing the way you are facing, it might also make sense to show the back of the characters heads in the portraits. Also items like shields, it would make sense to show the back of the shield where the handle is, opposed to the front. So I'm guessing that's why they do that.

Yes,

I see your point. It's just bothering me :mrgreen:
I'd rather the weapon was in the right hand after I put it in the hand on the left side.

But that might be even more confusing to other ppl...

Well...got some business to do in level 10 ^^

Good luck.
