Add it but make it shit? :D
Like you can't block, also you do much less damage, also you attack slower. Then people can have their dual wielding swords :D
*if you use a dagger in offhand you can't attack with it but you regain the ability to block just like if you had a 1handed sword on it's own*
From what game this screen?
I'll have to remember this vid for the next 100 times this evil thread appears.
Also, why just stop at 2 swords??? Since we're already clearly so invested in anime logic of 'dual wielding so cooool and practical'(click to show/hide)
Mmm, Medieval fighter game...
because there is very little historical fact when it comes to Dual wielding lets have it!!! Itz cool hollywood/anime says so is the usual crap.
The parrying dagger was very real, no? If a man didn't have a 2handed weapon, or the skill to use one, its perfectly logical that he would have something else in his left hand.
I forgot Parrying daggers were wide spread on medieval battlefields and before. We don't have rapiers so we don't have parrying daggers, they don't fit cRPG and if you want one replace a shield image with a dagger because you wont get double attacks any time soon.
Dagger and sword is mostly centered around duels. If I wanted to have something else besides sword in my hands, I would take shield.

So every melee should have a shield, because its the smartest thing to do?
Thats like the "get a shield" argument, but in the sense that we should remove content of the game to not let players decide for themselves if they want survivability or not.
Nah the point was: If I knew I will fight in a conflict which counts several tens/hundreds of combatants, I would rather take an arming sword and shield, than arming sword and dagger. It was not meant to be a comment on any gameplay mechanic or feature whatsoever.

point is moot. The devs are not going to change the whole combat system to allow offhand combat for a couple of people, at best you will get a dagger that acts like a buckler.
Then I agree with you completely. But since in cRPG your life isnt on the line, you see no shielders everywhere. Thus except if we want to push a real life battlefield experience, why not add a off-hand gameplay? Which exact gameplay is up to debate.
Double Long Bow trolololol
