Dual wield shields.

Dagger and hatchet. I like to get in close and dirty.

Or I'll dual wield with my fists.

Oh and double torches.

And if they release a centipede/insect race, I am using all the above at once.

Hah, fair call. But how could the news of Skyrim not filter through? Regardless, cake all round. Incidentally, what dual-wielding prefrences do you have?

I had seen the trailer when it came out but did not register dual wield being in it, though I take it you are referring to the scene where he is using a magic item in his left hand while holding a sword in his right. Do we have anything else? Dual wielding wasn't mentioned in either of the interviews I read.

I tend to play stealthy assassin types in the beginning and then develop normal fighter mage type skills later on. Two daggers or short swords or a combination of the two would be my normal weapon choices. It will depend on what is available really. Later on I will switch to longsword short sword combo. (at the latest when we start finding artifacts) :toughninja:

» Sat May 14, 2011 1:30 pm

Sword and Shield. It might be unoriginal, but it is my preferred weapons for using in RPGs.

Wow, ok, it's been one of the big headlines on confirmed features in the game. Check out http://www.gameinformer.com/p/esv.aspx if you haven't already, but more specifically the http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/01/24/skyrim-building-better-combat.aspx section and http://www.gameinformer.com/b/podcasts/archive/2011/02/03/toddhowardse.aspx.

Yah, looking forward to both short and long sword dual welding goodness. I have to agree, I have the same preference as you, initally favouring a stealth archeotype, before filling it out with pure melee goodness (and a dash of magic for good measure). But, would especially like to dual wield some long, slim, elegant blades, viz a viz blade dancer type.

I have a quick question regarding dual wielding. Do you think it will be open from the beginning or will it be acquired through a perk?

» Sat May 14, 2011 12:42 am

Some sort of sword or dagger in my right hand, and a shield or spell in my left.

It seems to be a pretty integral gameplay mechanic, so I would assume it will be available to us from the very beginning.

Ive always liked to play as the warrior-type character so im gonna go with the longsword and dagger like in the wallpaper image. I might possibly trade the dagger for a one-handed axe. What are u guys gonna dual-wield, or are you gonna go with a two-handed weapon?

Im guna try a few things, dagger and sword, two swords, two axes etc. Im not a spell person, Only spells I use in oblivion is fireball very rarely and minor heal
