duel wielding was common in europe

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parrying_dagger
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Companion_weapon

"In most cases the off-hand weapon is used to deflect or parry."
in a duel, not in the field of battle

Not that I want to the dev team to spend time on dual wielding instead of better things, but my response to this in defense of adding dual-wielding would be that if the mechanics were done right (realistically), it would end up being ineffective on the battlefield, but become an interest to some on the duel servers.

Add a shield that looks like a sword. Very fast, fastest shield in the game, high armour, moderate health but impossible to catch arrows on it :)

If you put the coverage too low it wont block melee hits either.

pretty neat idea, basically like a very thin/long buckler.

i can think of dirks being used in offhand but how many warriors would start the battle with a sword and dirk when they could take sword and shield is the point i think

personally i dont see the point but i also dont see why crpg cant have dual wield for fun
