Take this test, put a butter knife in one hand and make as many full stabs or slashes as you can in 15 seconds. If you disagree feel free to explain why, Ive written most of this as it came to me and is generalization+opinion I don't really think dual wielding is stupid, I just wanted a title that got your attention Before you start arguing you about how 99% of things in games aren't realistic I just wrote this as an educational for kids and preteens who might think what they see in games are real. Assasination skills in games should greatly benefit from dual weapons. In many cases more than twice as much damage. Using two blades does make you MORE deadlyĪn assassin carrying two daggers or short swords stabbing you with both of them would cause far more damage to your internal organs than a single one. A person with a single 2handed sword would knock the weapon out of each of your hands with one swing. I've never seen Derek Jeter walk out to bat holding a baseball bat in each hand so he would have a strength bonus. Using two swords makes you LESS accurateīeing more accurate with two swords than with one is simply unreasonable no matter how you look at it. Using your 2nd hand as leverage can give you a much faster and more stable strike. Most of you will be flailing your arms, but if you have martial arts training you will still see that the only illusion of speed would be that your alternate weapon has an oppurtunity to strike from an angle that would not easily be defended against if your previous strike was.

Using two swords makes you attack SLOWER (Offhand weapons and small weapons dont count in most of these scenarios) These are the "facts": I'm talking about characters and classes that use one weapon in each hand like 2 swords, 2 hammers, 2 axes as apposed to a shield. 90% of the games I've played with dual wielding do it ENTIRELY WRONG by some unrealistic childlike logic and principles.
