1h sword in each hand (dual-wield)

[Entaro]

Kind of suprised there is even a Wakizashi in this game, given it's relative pointlessness, unless you want to be a shileld wielding Samurai. 

Maybe if there was Niten ichi-ryu with a Katana it would work, but it doesn't seem to me that dual wield has a place in M&B.  You can't be disarmed in game and your blade won't break during the fighting, so it's a moot.  I guess you can wear it for RP, too bad you can't stab yourself with it.

This mechanic would not work. There is no way such a spammable, flambouyantly homosexual means of killing players could ever possibly be implemented.

Only for looks. This would be amazing for my native american 1her. Axe in main hand, knife in off hand for the lulz.

  great job einstein. Hows neo-YMCA treating ya?

Bah, can't find a damn reference but there was a style in the middle ages (or later?) where you had a staff in your offhand protecting you from blows while in your main you had a regular sword, which was fairly common.

duel wielding wasn't used in battle, then again neither were two handers, lets remove them!

Idiots should die in a fire...
But alas that would be cruel!

I hope this was just my sarcasm meter failing me, as by the 1400s shields were fast becoming obsolete compared to two handed swords amongst the high end infantry designed to counter plate wearers.

About a million spammy legolas's would come out of the woodwork. Swashbuckler + dagger would be cool though. As for the practical in game mechanics, it would be the exact same as everything else except using different animations.

I'd implement it but make it so that the 2nd weapon is only used like a shield. But of course with manual blocking directions. So one hand would have a short sword or long dagger that blocks and other hand has normal 1h. Upside would be perhaps little faster than a shield and doesn't brake. Downside of course would be that flying things would kill you.

[Joxer]

Now that I think about it an interesting combo comes to mind. 1h sword in left hand as a shield and some 1h spear in the other one. That might not be most practical but it would be fun.

Hmmm,

I can wear samurai armour and weild a great maul

I can wear fullplate and fire a long bow

[t1337Dude]

It won't happen lol

That's the same response that was given to people asking in the Mount and Blade forums "you should add multiplayer!".

It's a matter of historical accuracy bro.
