Ok fine I really don't care about duel wielding in the vanilla as far as there gonna be some cool mods where i can beat down dudes with two short swords, that would make me happy.
Revanshi said:Oh my god, these so called fencing experts... Are you kidding me? Not only dual wielding was a thing, it was A thing. Samurai trained to use dual katanas/ dual wakizasgi's/zatoichi's and any combo of these, Castillian duelists were undefeatable because they dual wielded, Roman legioneers dual wielded gladiuses, vikings dualwielded all the time, Prussian heavy infantry not only carried heavy pikes but also carried a sword and a dagger/short sword with them. Try using a shield in close quarters or in a massive fight. As soon as man mass came into the chaotic skirmish, infantry willingly dropped shields, not only were they heavy but also constricted their movement, two swords were used infenitely ALOT, even when flinstock weaponry was around, saying that dual wielding is unrealistic, ir plainly stupid, and whoever says otherwise, go read a goddamn book about medieval ages. Two swords had special schools of different styles, and in a melee are a great advantage even against shields, look at anciend romans they carried a tower shield with 5-6 pilums aswell as 2 gladiuses, 1 as a spair, and when it came the time to drop the shield alot of them use 2 weapons, 2nd weapon enables one to parry, counterstrike, of overwhelm the opponent with a flurry of blows or disorient one, aswell as giving one a chance to fight against 2 enemies at the same time. Unrealistic my ass, you "experts" make me sick.
If dual wielding will be implemented in the game it would not only be a wise choice, but also historically accurate.

Ok, you're in the middle of a massive skirmish, wielding a sword and a kite shield, go:
How will it protect you from flanking enemies?
How will it cover your back?
How will it not restrict your movement in all the plate that already constricts you?
What you do, what most fighters did, if you're smart, you drop the heavyass peice of wood, and you're left with 1 weapon. While having a spare short sword would help you immensely.

Sorry what? What does a fictional character from Zatoichi...? Just What?!Bromden said:So, how do you dual wield a blind masseur?
