They must've forgotten to include it.

Because the purpose of that game jam was to give people a respite to just do something they thought would be fun, or wished they could've gotten in, or that would be useful in the game. in my opinion, dual-wielding shields, although a silly notion, would be a waste of time if I could do something different.

"Yeah, sure, I have the offensive capability of a ball of lint, but by Talos can I ever block!" That sounds like the most boring game ever. <_<

If you want to play with 2 shields, just equip one to your left hand and keep your right empty.


Cuz punching is just as useless as an extra shield.

The best defence is a good defence, right?

Also, Shield Bashing would be clunky with two shields, because with one shield, the RT bashes. What about two shields? Would RT bash or raise?

Actually, the idea behind being able to use your shield in either hand is a good one, although I agree that dual shield wielding would be a novel play style...doable with the right perks and a lot of patience, but still numpty-ish.

I would like to be able to have my shield in my right hand, so I can actually use the hotkeyed spells which prioritise to my left hand...

Left hand animations comparable to right hand would be cool.

Thank you OP for this thread; I certainly began the morning with a great deal of laughter at the image of my character running away for several levels till she could finally shield bash.

í'd like the ability to play as a left-handed character to be included, but dual shields is just dumb.

Nice.

I remember one scene in "Game of Thrones" (the book, not the show) where Tyrion attacks with the spike on his helmet. I want that, go around headbutting everything. And a spiked helmet for extra damage.
