Don't get me wrong, I still like dual wielding and all, but I really wanted to try double cross down parry in Skyrim.
But yeah I understand Bethesda... that defense is for a coward. I'd rather carry 100 potions like a pack rat and drink them every time I see the gate of Sovngarde. Sure. I'm fine with it.

ps. sry for the image tag... honestly idk what's wrong in that. yeah what a noob :P

I have a sword in left and dagger in right, i am doing fine, if your health gets low, just move back a bit and use one of your starter spells, works for me

you dont need to parry when your opponent is dead.

You see, that's the idea. You double your melee output, but sacrifice the defense. Decisions, decisions...

well... dont use light armor when you dual wield... yes its awesome for damage, but fur wont protect you from enemy attacks... get atleast some better light armor, though id recommend using heavy since when my battle mage had dual wield in cloth-armor i could get one shotted by some mobs :P (on expert) but hey :P

this is my impression of dual wielding.

The whole things seems to be inspired by japanese games. The stance, the sprinting...
