What weapons do you guys use when duel weilding? Why? And does anyone know the best two weapons for dual weilding? I like just plain old swords with the same enchantments and same base damage.

I carry an ebony dagger and my nightingale blade when I dual wield. One for stealth kills, the other for combat.

I generally like to carry two war axes. One of the best for me, but if I had to use any other, it would be a Sword and a Dagger.

I have an Orc beserker who duel wields maces, specifically double Mace of Molag Bal (dupe trick). The reason is that he's a skull crusher and that mace is the best looking for the job

Dual scimitars, self enchanted, one with paralysis (2 seconds) and the other with soul trap.

Bound Swords, because they are very good Weapons from beginning to Mid game, and they are wieghtless. If My character decides to use Elemental Fury, then I prefer an unenchanted Dagger in the offhand, and a powerful Enchanted Weapon in the Right Hand. I have a preference for Ebony Axes that are Enchanted as Main Weapons for My characters when they are at higher levels.

The "ideal" combination for overall damage is a Mace in the Right Hand, and a Dagger in the left.

I use sword mainhand(the armor ignore from maces isnt enough damage to beat the visuals of swords for me), and dagger offhand. I like rocking that duelist style, and having a fast weapon in your offhand makes your main swing faster.

Does anyone know if daggers that have been smithed up to legendary benefit from one-handed damage enchants? It says on UESP that they dont, which is lame.

Twin Katanas!

I rock two daggers when dual wielding, as I only dual wield as an assassin. Sometimes I use 2 Daedric Daggers, but mostly I go with Mehrunes Razor on main hand and Blade of Woe on offhand. Pretty damn great if you ask me xD

My assassins/thieves usually duel wield in close quarter combat. My weapon type of choice is duel daggers, just for the pure speed.

I use my custom Chaos Dadric Sword in my main hand, and Dawnbreaker in my off hand.

My one dual-wielding character uses two elven war-axes named Flesh-burner (25 hp fire damage) and Blood-drinker (13 hp health absorb). I can't really get into swords or maces as much.
