You forgot dual swords and shortswords

That is what I usually ended up using in DA:O. Sword/short sword; although part of that might have been the graphics. Some of their daggers were short sword sized. One of my rogues was rather good with dual one handed axes, too.

I don't think dual staffs would work though. Wouldn't a staff require two hands usually?

Every fiber in my being says dual wielding is a stupid gimmick.
For me it's either a two handed weapon. A bow. A weapon with a shield. Or a weapon with a spell.

AXE main hand and MACE off hand

I have some options, but if I go ahead with one of my ideas. I will dual-wield axes. With an Argonian. That spits fire. :flamethrower:

And btw, do you think that if we don't dual wield anything we will be hindered? For example, if my character just wants to 1hand a longsword, because that's how he fights, and his other hand is empty. Will this make the game harder?

Either way a Bosmer with bow and arrow, or an Altmer with dual spell or a spell/staff combination. It depends on the looks of the characters which one I'll play with.

I'm gonna try everything, but I will most likely to end up with either mace/magic or longsword/magic.

Interesting results in this poll. I voted dual axe.

Sword and dagger, so I can use stealth attacks and fight in melees without changing gear. Also, it looks cool.

Dual shields for craps and giggles. :spotted owl:

As for a serious combination, I'll more than likely end up trading off between longsword/spell and longsword/shield. May experiment with dual weapon combos, but more than likely won't use them all that much.

i shall use a 4 arm mod

so mine will be sword/dagger/spell/staff

» Thu Feb 25, 2010 7:39 pm

What I use will really depend on how the weapons function, and how strong certain perks are.
In morrowind, I used a daedric dai-katana, because they had knock down capacity, a high damage level, and ridiculous enchanting capacity. Shields seemed pretty useless in that game
In Oblivion, I used a sword and a shield, because they were actually useful for setting up attacks and it gave me an extra piece of equipment to enchant.

When I'm serious, either a pair of daggers/shortblades or a bow and arrow. Cus I r serious Khajiit.

When I'm goofing around, duel shields, cuz I'm a confused :turtle:

» Thu Feb 25, 2010 9:53 pm

2 spells all the way

» Fri Feb 26, 2010 3:28 am

The first thing I thought of when I learned of duel wielding; Duel shields.

Also, Dagger/Sword and Sword/Spell

» Fri Feb 26, 2010 5:45 am

Either dual sword, single sword / spell or just single sword

Cuz I'm hardcoe , no not for that reason it just feels more agile and free flowing :rofl:

Duel shield.

It's going to be hilarious.

» Thu Feb 25, 2010 10:15 pm

Anything + Shield for me. Especially with these rumors I hear that shield bashing is in.

» Thu Feb 25, 2010 3:35 pm

Dual Fists.

Good answer!

» Fri Feb 26, 2010 4:32 am

Sword and shield.

» Thu Feb 25, 2010 4:51 pm

Sword and spell.

Bow and arrow. for sneaking around.

» Fri Feb 26, 2010 3:56 am

Dual shortswords or daggers and bow+arrow. I must see them at work, daggers must be really good in sneak damage or else I'll stick to short swords.

» Thu Feb 25, 2010 5:29 pm

Mammoth Tusk and crying Bosm - I mean short sword and shock spells.

» Thu Feb 25, 2010 4:16 pm

What, no shortswords?

This... anyway, I'll be duel wielding daggers, and a bow and arrow.
