ok here i am again with another suggestion.
I was thinking for a while about dual wielding but it just doesn't seem to fit in m&b however, i think a sword/pistol combo would be possible. Since almost noone uses shields and 2handers are outdated, i was thinking of something to hold in the left hand and i think a pistol is fit for that role. If you have a sword, a pistol and some bullets with you and then you equip your sword, you can select the pistol the way you normally select your shield (scroll down). By doing this you take out a pistol in your left hand. Basically, nothing realy changes here, you can just fight normally with your sword. The only thing that changes is that when you press X, you switch to pistol mode. This switch doesn't take any time like drawing out your pistol so it's actually just change between pistol and sword realy fast. When you press X again you just switch back to sword. The only thing that bothers me is the reloading of the pistol. I think it is quite hard to reload you pistol while holding a sword and i don't realy have any idea on how to fix this. Having to put away your sword kinda makes the dual wielding useless since you can only dualwield for 1 shot and then the fun is over... A grenade would also be an option to add to dualwielding, since you only need 1 hand for it and this guy at the loading screen does it too.
After some thinking i came up with this:
There are 3 dualwieldable weapons: onehanders, grenades and pistols.
You can choose which one you use as main hand and which one as offhand but you can't combine 2 weapons of the same cathegory.
If you reload your gun, you will temporary put away your sword making the reload time slightly longer(the time to put away your sword and draw it again afterwards)
The mainhand weapon functions like normal, however the offhand has a slightly decrease in skills since it is used with your left hand:
Onehanders: lose 1 level in powerstrike and 10% speed while in offhand
Pistols: lose 10% accuracy and 10% longer reload
Grenades: lose 10% accuracy and 10% speed while in offhand
Finally if you block while having a sword in your set, you always use a the sword to block, even when you have selected the pistol. If you have pistol and grenade, you will use the pistol to block.
what do you guys think about it? Plz tell me wathever you don't like about it

Well in this game you wouldn't be able to club with it at the same time as your cutting with your sword anyway. I don't know if I'm wrong by saying this but aren't the left hand also important when fighting with one handed swords if your right-handed? Something inside me says that the left hand helps to steady the sword while blocking by putting the hand behind the sword. You couldn't really block with the sharp side of the sword i believe cause its sharpness would be gone in some time. I actually don't think this was used much in these kind of battles, perhaps by some officers but other than that no
