This is something I had reported many months ago. It still doesn't appear to be fixed. I was just wondering if this is on Amplitude's list of things to fix.

It's a really jarring visual issue that is hard to UN-SEE once you notice that the Cultist Heroes hold their swords upside down. Is there any chance this can be fixed? Below you'll find images regarding what I'm talking about.

I always assumed that it was intentional, as Cultist heroes tend to suffer from all sorts of insanity (as do the Unspoken and the Queen). So I thought this was a wink at their erratic state.

Interesting. I knew that the Sisters of Mercy had their swords backwards too, but I always assumed it was a "strike with the flat of your blade" pacifism thing. Maybe they've just defined the models upside down?

I'm pretty sure it's an error and not intentional. I've posted about it before here. /#/endless-legend/forum/22-gameplay-and-ai-issues/thread/6101-cultist-heroes-holding-weapons-upside-down

Some of the swords clearly clip through the heroes arm and face the wrong direction.

I get that the Cultists are a bit "out there" as a class but they aren't completely off their rockers. They're working relentlessly to evangelize/conquer all of Auriga. That requires using weapons properly

I actually found this thread here http://steamcommunity.com/app/289130/discussions/0/610574106416781644/ from back in March where they are discussing the Sisters of Mercy holding swords the wrong way as well. They also mention the same issue with the Cultists.

Zentractor, do you know if the issue with the Sisters of Mercy still exists? I haven't had a chance to check myself.

Just giving this thread a bump because I would really like to know if this is something the Devs are aware of. (And if they plan on fixing it at all). I'm not trying to be annoying. I just really like this game and would like to be able to play as the Cultists without cringing

I confirm we are aware of the issue and it is in our database.

We still need to resolve it but first we have some other priorities.

It should be fixed at some point though

I'm giving this thread another bump. This issue STILL hasn't been fixed and has been an issue for me with the Cultists ever since they've been released. Can we please get the Cultists holding their weapons properly?

Giving this another bump. It doesn't appear to be fixed in the latest release notes. Can anyone comment on whether or not this will ever be fixed? Thanks.

Here is the update you are waiting for even if I'm not sure it will really please you...

We have created a bug in our database following your report but it is still open because at this time we consider it a minor issue.

In addition, our main focus those last month was on Shifters expansion and believe it or not we could not afford our animator to add this task to his already full list of tasks from Legend + ES2.

We will try to have a look at it now that Shifters are out but I can't promise anything :/
