It owuld require a complete rework of the basis of M&B combat, which the developers would very likely not do given the strength and relative intuitivity of the system.
...Or can't both swords do same directional attack all the same?
EDIT: And a reset button perhaps.

This, but it could be a toggle button rather than held button. Weapon A maintains its action when you toggle to weapon B, so you can be holding L-block while you fight as normal with the other hand, or you can be attacking when you switch, in which case the attack will finish and that hand will return to its idle stance.
Lumos said:But CTRL should be used for crouching, so the dual-wielding control thingie should be on a different key.
Also, remember what they said a long time ago. That the new engine will be so great that you can leave dual-wielding in the dust and go directly to triple-wielding. And to heighten the RPG mechanics, the efficiency of your third weapon will be determined by your Ironflesh skill, as it was discussed either on this thread, or on the previous one, a long, long time ago.
If that's the case though, I want to dual-wield crossbows and reload them with my third arm. Or dual-wield bows. That would be amazing.
