Dual wielding two handed weapons

Post » Fri Nov 26, 2010 6:54 am

But magic is possible in that fantastic game. It's something that exists there. However, weapons run the same in out world and in Tamriel.

theirs you and your "well magic aint real!" Magic fits in another category of unreal or imposable. wielding dual 2H swords is ridiculous and doesn't physicaly make sense that a near 120 lb sword towering a near 3 feet could be held effortlessly in ones hand.

I think this and anything similar should be achievable if you manage to get your strength attribute high enough, via enchantment or potion. I liked how xivilais used two handed weapons with one hand in Oblivion, and was really sad when I played Slof's playable xivilai with only pathetic one handed swords.

Some of you folk crack me up, so here's something to sink your teeth into:

Several have pointed out that it would take a bit of superhuman strength to dual-wield say Daedric Warhammers. This is unrealistic, they say. Others have pointed out that this is a game where magic exists, so anything is possible. Well, what about this then? You take your Warhammers and lay down some magic on them-- Feather, for example. Well now they're lighter than that sword and shield you were wielding as a level 7! Would that work? I mean really, if the weight of the things is the only problem-- you'd be impossibly slow, you couldn't possibly lift them both-- problem solved with an already in-game feature! :)

Of course, then there's the problem of physics...a lighter Warhammer could not inflict as much damage as a heavy one. Still, these are enchanted, magical Warhammers, right? Fight it out-- but be civil, fellow posters! :)


As if it matters, I don't want to see this feature in the game. But I didn't want fast-travel either, and a great philosopher once said that "You can't always get what you want"... ;)

mmmm its called a two-handed weapon for a reason....but no one knows why? I think it might be called two-handed weapon because it takes two hands to wield. or is that just me?

Surely the same guy with all that strength would still be better off with both hands on one weapon I don't think we will see hulk smash style character in tes anytime soon.

Skyrim's "Epic Reality" has no place for dual wielding heavy weapons because it requires two hands to block with a weapon.
