Two shields.
I'm a coward.
That actually makes you wonder what happens if you try to duel-wield shields, it's something I'll need to experiment with...
But anyway, I'm hoping my answer can be a spear. If not, my first character will probably either use bows with some sort of melee weapon to fall back to if enemies get too close, or magic and maybe a melee weapon as backup, it really depends on what kind of character I feel like making at the time, but hopefully, I'll get around to giving all major weapon categories a try.
