Dual weilding?
« on: June 14, 2008, 03:50:00 am »

Id recently had the idea to do a bit of shield training (equip sheild on both arms, charge into mass of goblins). And wondered if you could dual weild any other weapons? I know I can hold an axe in both hands but i cant seem to use both at the same time. It might just be useful if i lost possesion of my first weapon, or maybe my left hand weapon could be something like a crossbow? (currently searching for one to prove or disprove this). Any ideas/experience here would be much appreiciated

Actually just slap several shields on one arm,as many as you like.
I believe there is something in the wiki about this...

You can dual-wield crossbow with another weapon and use it, for me it's in the right arm (in the left arm it says "you have nothing left to fire"). So you can hit in melee and shoot from distance. There was a problem for me though because with no shield it was dangerous. However with a shield bug it works fine.

So you can have say an axe in your left hand, crossbow in your right, fire the crossbow like normal and attack in mellee with the axe?

Sounds pretty bad ass. When I go adventuring again i'll have to try that...going to have to mod humans to drop arrows when they die or somthing, I always run out of ammo.

However there's a strange thing: you can fire crossbow even if you have another hand used if you have it in a specific hand, i didn't figure it out still.
