BFG99 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 It seems that every single person in Oblivion, including the player, is right-handed. I'm curious...what would it take to make a few of the NPCs lefties? And, to give the player the choice of being right or left handed? I'd love to see a mod that gives the player this choice, and also makes 10% or so of all NPCs left handed (to match real life). It could have interesting applications in combat...

Ranokoa Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Well, there's offhanded possibilities. Look up Duel Wield. Aside from that I'm not too sure... Maybe if someone was willing to make custom animations for a specifically changed weapon mesh. Aside from that I doubt it. Even then, with the game mechanics, it might not work out as intended.. or.. concept intended at least. Most "small" tweeks like this are actually rather huge. Most impossible. The game was built for right handers. Literally built for it. Most games that circle everything around one aspect leave little to change on it. As far as NPCs being lefties.. well.. don't expect that to ever happen en mass. Be well, sleep well, fight well, live long.~Ranokoa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFG99 Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 Yep, I was guessing that this "small" change might end up happening to be rather large. I'm a modder too but I only do scripting - not any good with graphical stuff - so I can't even guess what work would be involved. I was hoping it would be as simple as finding some way to mirror (reverse) weapon meshes and textures, characters, etc. - in other words the game would be displaying the mirror image of what it normally would display. That would effectively make an NPC (or the player) left handed. But I have no idea if that's possible or what it would take to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
