Put more effort in it if you want people to take this seriously, and do some homework to find related threads before you post on a much debated subject like this. Also consider that dual wielding has practically been ruled out by the mod team.'' Why has dual wielding been ruled out? In LOTR, Legolas dual wields shortswords. Also, once again one of my favorite points to bring up, dual wielding is highly unrealistic if you want to do it as an effective double offensive, yes it could allow attacking from 2 points, but clumsily and likely while making an opening in your defenses. if you go outside right now and find 2 descent sized sticks (more like branches with the arms busted off, about 10-20 lbs) and try swinging them at the same time how do you think it would work in comparison to just doing one at once, and if your opponent dodges thats gonna be ugly (likely gonna smash your weapons together probably at the blades and ruin them a fair bit) pretty much what my point it is that it just isnt realistic, it is cool in movies yes, but that is mostly because they set it up to look cool, not because it is effective, and if you have 2 blades long enough they will end up getting in the way of each other with parrying and slow you down with dodging. the most realistic way would be a sword in one's dominant hand and a dagger (long or short) in the other with which one can stab with while parrying and attacking with the sword (probably a shortsword so you don't tire yourself out) even that would take quite a bit of practice though
