This just sounds hilarious right off the bat. I just imagine a giant nord running into battle like a mad man with two giant shields bashing enemies left and right.

This game needs this. :hubbahubba:

I don't remember any historically accurate accounts of magic either; should that be removed too?
So we should always endeavour to be stymied by that past?
Because they never thought of it, we shouldn't either?

It sounds stupid, so no

Yes, if nothing else just to be funny... But then again seeing someone charge at you with two shields could be kind of scary.

"Oh look there goes the tank of the old world!....... Charging a squirrel..."

I would be pretty terrified if some huge Nord charged at me, so confident in his skills that he doesn't even use weapons, but instead bashes his foes to death with two shields. That is badassery to the umpteenth degree.

I would be scared of some big armored nord coming at me with two big tower shields.

yeah it'd be cool, just as long as you can't time alternating the shield bashes so they CANT hit you from the front.

I can't believe people voted for "I really hope not. It would take the immersion out of the game"

If only you can equip it, how will it destroy your immersion?

How do topics like this thrive for so long. :shakehead:

Next thing you know we'll all be dicussing the possibility of an 'Almighty Mudcragon' in Skyrim.

Why not? dikeing around is fun in games. It's like hitting pedestrians in GTA, it's not necessary or practical, it's fun.

It's a catch phrase by people trying to sway opinions. Something that I just can't stand.

That's the foul and unsavory side of TES Fans. Been that way since Morrowind.

Something modders have had to put up with, when talentless trolls insult their creative deviations. We lost a lot of great modding talent over peoples opinions of what is and isn't immersion.

Why can't we all live and let lie?


And I didn't vote, because I don't care as well.

Why would people whine about what is in a mod?

For the great lulz, I want it!

Sure, only if my character can perform in an insightful play about Occupational Health and Safety at the next Imperial Legion conference.

You know what I wonder? Why can nobody on this forum who starts a forum about dual wielding ever spell it correctly? Seriously, every thread I see regarding it spells it incorrectly as 'duel', as in 'I challenge you to a duel', rather than the correct 'dual' as is 'dual airbags'.

That's my pet peeve for the day.

It's a terrible shame that modders actually let people like that influence them, anyone is welcome to talk as much [censored] about my mods as they want, as long as they can back it up with some solid reasoning. if they can't then i will automatically assume they are idiots and move on.


A mod that nobody is forcing them to download or even look at I might add. Who knows, people are stupid and/or [censored]s, that's the world for you. Best thing to do is ignore them, or mock them. They do have it coming after all. (Most of the time they don't even understand that they are being ridiculed, which adds to the fun )

This is what i thought.

Casting Forum Topic Ressurection Spell :flame:

Honestly, I dont do it for the sheer spite of the forums. I may have created this topic, but there are hundreds of different members here that dont scroll through the topics if they are not on the first page. I have seen a great deal of varying opinions on this topic, and in the very least it is a nice study about how gamers view things. To those who complain about the spelling of the topic, I am sorry. Fingers typing on a keyboard dont have human brains. To those that say its unrealistic, so are dragons...so are magick spells...so are any humanoid race that isnt actually HUMAN!

Now back on topic...anything can be used as a weapon. I've seen on the nightly news how someone murdered thier wife using a soda can to bludgen her to death. A giant, fierce Nord who can bash his enemy to death seems more realistic than killing someone with an Orange Crush! ZING!!

I would enjoy it for the lulz. I don't think it would be practical however. Though fun to put up both shields and then just running through enemies.

If you want to block attacks, use a shield. If want to block more attacks, use more shield.

If you get up in the morning one day, say [censored] logic, and go bashing people's skulls in with shields. Use a little less shield.

I don't think it would be very useful, seeing as the AI will hopefully be good enough to make bandits more than just guys with sticks :toughninja: But would be kinda fun I guess, you know just running around like riot control

If we can dual-wield shields, then we should be able to layer armor too. Y'know how in Morrowind you could wear a shirt and pants, then armor over that, then a robe over that? Well to go with my dual-wielded shields I want to wear Glass armor under my Ebony armor, which in turn is under my Daedric armor.

Yes! Yes, a thousand times yes! Take me!

Ahem. Now, I usually have been for common sense, and actual viability in battle, however, I feel people are looking at this the wrong way. Swashbucklers (the originals, who used swords hanging loosely at their side, smacking into their bucklers, not the pirates) have always been a rather interesting combat type. To take that a step forward, and use two bucklers? T'would be a close-combat nightmare if the sides of the bucklers were sharpened, or shield spikes were included. I imagine it working something like Brass Knuckles and Boxing Gloves in the Fallout games, though with extra protection as well as increased hand-to-hand combat power.

It'd be quite the interesting tactic for a brawling Nord. (He can pull out his axe when he wants to get choppy, but why not use the twin-bucklers for pounding Dunmers' pointy noses in, when drinking at the local pub?)

the next logical step would be to implement 'throwing' shields. You can toss the bucklers at an enemy if you want! Kind of like a meaty disc!

Well, if they add some shield bash-esque move, then... I guess? But Dual wielding shields isn't a real weapon style. Then again, neither is dual wielding crossbows (Diablo 3 reference HAHAHA I'm so funny, *ahem*).


I would say, nah. Focus on the rest of the game. All of my melee characters are going to dual wield longswords.

I don't see why not, it would make for a good defence as you rout from battle. A tower shield in each hand, and a shield on you're back....invincible.
