I'd Imagine both swords could be worn on the same hip(left currently). Right arm draws the first sword properly and the left draws it with pommel pointing outwards and swinging it arround once the blade is clear of the sheath. It seems there is already a bug which allows you to see 2 weapons on your left hip so would only realy need a propper animatiopn. Buuut im no expert at this so just an idea

Not sure if this is relevant, but I think my game actually glitched, and I ended up with dual wield Staves of Magnus. Eat this, mages!

When I started playing these games we were estatic when they replaced the letter D with a small static icon to represent a dragon. Games were fun back then too. All this graphics realism doesn't make them any more fun.

what annoys me more is the fact that daggers dont get affected by the fortify one handed enchantment.....very dumb....

It doesn't matter if the blades are 100 miles long, friend. They don't intersect if you cross draw from the waist. I've only got one sword, but I just grabbed two 4' flourescent lightbulbs, and it's easy to do, and easy to prove. Try yourself with a mop handle or something.

Wow, even the bugs do better work than Bethesda

Yeah because Nirn weapons = / = Earth weapons, grow up and stop being such a crybaby OP.


Isnt that the usual response the [censored] give when somebody has a legitimate problem with the game?

Edit: Wow really devoted fan is a swear? who'd a thunk it?

I think you're getting too technical and picky, It isn't OK to see clipping and I don't like it most times, but 2h warriors can sit down in chairs with the 2H weapons sheathed, clipping through the chairs. Like the vid I gave from DA:O. Your complaint is that injurious possibilities and implausible body functions make it seem unreal, yet the video makes it look natural and movements normal. Again, "suspension of disbelief". Here you want the ability to see where the second sword in a dual-wielding role as displayed on the body, yet complain (through my example as I wasn't talking about the mechanics, just the looks) that any sheathing of dual-swords by any location on the body makes it injurious or implausible. So, which do you want? Because if you don't like the implausible ideas, then only having one visible is the way to go. Sounds to me like you're having a bout with cognitive dissonance.

I gotta admit Bethesda has always been lazy about showing the weapons and gear. Skryim is the worst since Morrowind. Hopefully somebdoy can make a sheath, shield, and staff mod. Several were made for Morrowind. Atleast in Oblivion u saw the staff.

I totally agree. I really wish my staff would be shown on my mages back. They had it in Oblviion. At least for this one you really can say " A wizard did it".

We shouldnt have to rely on the modding community for something that should be standard in a game of this size. We need to continue to bring up this issue until Bethesda fixes their own game. Like I said this isnt 1995. Dual wielding has been done before it's really nothing special or hard to code in. There is no excuse for these kind of shortcuts to be taken on a game of this size and budget.

daily bump.

I endorse this!!! I REALLY hate how my DW orc doesn't show both weapons!

They don't need to add new animations....just make it so the weapon appears in your hand, he doesn't need to grab for it.

i personally play a khajiit and use a war axe in the right hand and dagger in the left and play in third person and really wish this was a part of the game just because it would make you look different because you chose to dual weid and not be a sword and sheild warrior

This is a bit after medieval times, but in the renaissance, it was common to use a dagger for parrying. It's not exactly duel wielding, but close enough.

I don't know any japanese examples, but offhand weapons are prominent in Filipino martial arts (and prominent in their historical conflicts too).

I believe that is the "Main Gauche". Rapier + Main Gauche

Musashi Miyamoto was a famous samurai and duelist who used a very rare technique of one sword in each hand

I like to have both a sword and a knife equiped and I've notice that when the animation decides to kick in that both the sword and the knife are on my right hip but thats it nothing else shows up i.e. sword or axe.It only seems to kick in on a quazi-regular basis when I have both a knife and a sword equiped.

I think its becuase dual wield was added LATER to the game and thus it seems it is still missing a few things

but worry not I'm sure Bethesda will get around to fixing this or mods will do it

at any rate it will be resolved

I hope so. It kinda ruins dual wielding

daily bump until word from bethesda

Just a reminder...
