Apparently it IS effective It helps a lot and finishes off the opponents quite quickly. Lots of people mentioned it wouldn't be effective, but I find it extremely effective.

Just to let all the other people know, dual-wielding IS a good choice, just like all the other combat styles in the game.

Arrrrgggg ... Now im frustrated!!!! I had tough time too choose between 2handed and dual... And now u made me doubt...

I agree! But it's great for roleplaying too. My character has been a werewolf for most of his advlt life, and thus uses two swords as a parallel between his claws in werewolf form.

I'm curious about a dual weild character. How do you defend yourself without the ability to block. I haven't played Skyrim yet (I'm dying to do so), but in Oblivion without an ability to avoid getting hit (i.e. blocking, staying out range, mobility) you would get eaten alive.

Does this build work simply because you level through your armor skills so quickly?

Im lvl 19 now and i didnt used the block option ever... Its like i dont need it.. And im using a 2 handed sword

It's not that big of a deal to get hit in Skyrim... unless it's an enemy that surpasses your level by a dozen or something XD

well im a sneaky l,light armor dw 2 swords i start with bow , and then cut trough them , trying to avoid some atacks , the slow ones are easier the guy which rlly hit you like trucks are usually slower
