I think it would be a nice added benefit to sticking with pistols over rifles.

Something like a Combat Knife in the other hand, yeah i could see that working out.

Only with severe penalties and I think the penalties would be so high that it's better not to let you dual wield weapons. Have you tried shooting a handgun with just one hand much less your off hand? Accuracy would be terrible and I mean terrible. And unless you train a lot, a melee weapon in your off hand just isn't very effective or powerful. So it's better to leave that out of the game and have mods do it if it's possible at all.

You're overthinking it, carrying a tac light in one hand and a pistol in the other is a Hollywood staple. Same with a knife and pistol combo. The only conflict I can see is with vats and carrying two weapons at the same time.

That sounds terrible in both theory and asthetics. Luckily I think Beth knows this and wouldn't waste resources on such a thing

Don't just tell me its terrible tell me why it would be terrible I want the input.

Eh, seems like more trouble than it's worth for me.

Pretty much sums it up then.

I can't think of a game that lets you do that. Is there one? It would be fun in a more fast paced shooter but I'm not sure about having it Fallout.

I think it would be nice to be able to quickly shoot someone if you get caught trying to stealth melee.

I'm just trying to figure out how this would be effective.


You're in a gunfight. You shoot, shoot a bit more, run closer to the target. Shoot a bit more. Move closer whole holding a knife in one hand and shooting bullets all over the place. You're finally in melee range, you stab him and. And what? You stab him in head with one hand whole shooting him in the head with the other. Cant see the point of that. Even stabbing one target while shooting at another target doesn't make sense. It takes a bit more concentration to kill someone with a knife simply waving it around and vice versa for pistols.


Nah, when I'm up close and personal I prefer switching weapon fast and fully focus on one task at a time or ill end up dead while the enemy have scratch on the chin and a few holes in their walls.

I like the idea of killing as many people I can with melee while staying hidden and if you're about to be spotted you can quickly shoot the guy before he alerts anyone. It would also be good for enemys that like to swarm or get to close. You can pick some off at a distance then when they get close you can start to melee all with out switching weapons.

Oh and by the way I definitely see this as being a perk so its completely optional.
