Hello lovers of swords and sorcery,

I'm not sure. I saw some dual wielding in Todd Howard's demo but didn't see anything I'd call a combo. I've read that there is no blocking, and the amount of dodging blows he did seems to support this. There is a moment where he appears to swing both swords at once, and a cinematic kill that he uses both for as well.

Just the same as swinging a single weapon, but there's two of them. No dual-wield specific moves in standard combat. There may be some dual-wield specific finishing moves though.

I hope there is something because the potential is great and I would hate it if it was wasted

The real combinations are what you put in your hands, the appropriate perks for both weapon types (or the same ones if you use similar weapons), enchantments, etc.

Dual... Its Dual weapons. We have no handlebar mustaches or revolvers.

So what kind of weapons can you duel? I can just see myself fighting floating swords and axes to the death.

It's a joke. You spelled "dual" as "duel".

:facepalm:

From what information that is given, dual wielding seems very lackluster. Don't expect it to be deeper than a hack and slash game.

Well, except just swinging your weapons one after another and that scissor strike, there is also something Todd referred to as a "blender move" which apparently took a lot of stamina. What that is though, I have absolutely no idea.

Spin with blades in hand?

Combos...

heh heh heh

I read that and had the mental image of my character standing in a Skyrim version of McDonald's, staring blankly at the menu and then saying; "Yeah, go ahead and super-size it. I've got a busy day, so I'm gonna need the calories."

Either that or Ronald McDonald slaying a dragon and shouting; "I'm lovin' it!"

No combos as you would know them from other games like The Witcher, I think.

I so knew that it was going to be Zorro.

He looks more badass after the time-skip though.
