Im a strong Dual Sword kind of guy, i don't know why but all of a sudden when i'm playing, my character freezes, and i get killed. ok one glitch no big deal, right? wrong, now whenever i dual wield my left sword strikes at half speed, my right still strikes normal. i have no poisons that i know of on me and no diseases. please help me, i'm getting really frustrated, because i've restarted it and i've tried just switching swords too and it doesn't help >:( #Xbox360

If it happens when your enemy executes a power attack on you I have a bad news for you. It's either a bug or intended design decision. If that power attack have enough power to one shot you, the control over your character gets removed and you can't avoid that incoming hit. A video to illustrated it:

I have created a topic about it here:

Feel free to contribute.
