why must there be a strength requirment ??? did you need a strength requirment to hold a mini gun or any otehr high weapons ?

Oh I hate dual wielding when I cannot go slow-mo and do parkour around the place but if others want dual wielding then I'm not going to say no just cause I don't like it.
I'll just ignore that it's in the game.
What harm is it gonna come to me or you if it's there?

And no I'm not saying every single thing that people suggest should be in but is dual wielding actually a hard thing for them to implement?
If not then they could just do it.

Adding something like rock-climbing or drivable vehicles or mounts or scuba gear or jetpacks is a lot harder to code and animate and what not and it's something that most probably is best to just leave out since they don't have a lot of time left until the game is released.
But adding in a feature to dual wield can't be that hard (Or maybe it is) so if they got time for it then I'd be glad that people who want it actually got it.

This isn't Call Of Duty.

Could people please stop using this argument without backing it up...?

I personally don't have a "Universe Compatibility" issue, as I'm one of those misguided types who thinks anything can be made Fallout Compatible if worked and worded correctly, as I have a gameplay mechanic issue.
With DW in there, just for arguement, does this mean we attack twice in VATS? That we see an increased drain on our ammo pool? Does the left trigger while goes to another fuction automatically the trigger for the gun now or do both guns fire from one trigger press...?
I think it's just too complicated for the current engine.

While we're at it, lets dual weild mini-guns that shoot mini-nukes :facepalm:

But seriously. If it was a trait in the beginning that was optional (which makes enemies dual wield also so you cant overpower) then sure.

Personally, I'm against the idea, its something made for Saints Row and the like. Fallout is an RPG not an Action FPS. Not intendedly anyway

ive played games on older systems where dual wielding was doable and they had either diffrent trigger buttons to shoot or same trigger button to shoot or both (toggle in option menue) im pretty sure the hardware ewe have now days can more then handle it

I don't think it's a matter of "can we do it" anymore, as "should we do it", seeming as a good half of might set fire to the dev studio.

I think the "It's not [Game]" statement, with no backup, should be grounds for trolling. It's an attempt to try and shut down the arguement and offers nothing to the debate.

why would they set fire to the studio that creates the fullest of games I've yet to hear about / play

who has made a game that is more full in content and WORKS other than something made by Bethesda?

why must there be a strength requirment ???

did you need a strength requirment to hold a mini gun or any other heavy weapons ?

Again, enjoy.

The whole point of Dual Wielding in NV is moot since the development of NV probably complete and there's little if any chance we'd see it in the Vanilla game.

As for the DW concept itself, I'll leave whether or not it belongs in a fallout game, to the hardcoe fallout philosophers, but personally I don't mind seeing it as long as it's done right.

If they do choose to implement it in some future DLC, I hope it's handled somewhat realistically.

The obvious advantage is that you double the rate of fire and you have double the ammo capacity, but it should come at the cost of double the reload time, the inability to aim down the sights, and a penalty to the accuracy/spread since you are only using one hand and not 2 to hold each gun steady.

Do you know what Akimbo is?

I'd also add to the disadvantage/penalty the inability to use vats with it, as aiming while dual wielding I think is or at least should be nigh on impossible to do with any degree of accuracy. I believe most people when aiming tend to focus more with a single eye to help cut down on the distractions and also to help ensure that their line of sight is down the barrel of the gun and not from the bridge of their nose as it usually is when using two eyes.

I did support my argument. This isn't CoD because the premise of Fallout isn't about guns or even killing people. It's about survival and guns help you survive. I really don't care what badass weapons I get as long as they work efficiently.

Grah. I hate the idea of this crap. Apart from some VERY experienced shooters, using two weapons at once is stupid. Certain situations, like defending multiple entry points, or laying down a decent amount of firepower without a decent weapon. Shooting two weapons puts alot of "stupid" fire down the range. I, for one, would like to put two shots into a guy accurately, and move on, instead of this flashy crap. Why waste eight rounds when I only need two? I don't like the whole idea of dual wielding. I suppose for certain characters, that makes sense, but why implement a "tacticool" feature in a game where ammo is supposed to be important? Let's be real here. There is no real arguement here.

I want to dualwield a couple of http://www.strange-mecha.com/german/army/dora-gustav.jpg I must have the option.
