Can I use 2 swords?

Postby BigCountry » Tue Dec 08, 2020 5:08 am

If I equip a sword in each hand does that do anything? Combat/damage wise? I cannot seem to tell.

Yes you can.
It looks cool, no combat benefit so far.

You'd also be wasting the available slot you could use for a shield or a traveller's sack.

Don't listen to these NERDS. Duel wield will cause psychological damage to your enemies after they're defeated, and intimidate them during the actual fight. Just make sure you're actually hitting with the higher quality sword

Imagine encouraging somebody to be a virgin meta slave instead of a chad ninja assassin just because you're insecure

Thanks for the entertaining posts, but do try to keep HDI informative. Also: @Snail--how the heck do you know "which" sword is going to be used for an attack? Last I read from either jorb or loftar, there wasn't any way to be sure. I believe the last weapon equipped is the most likely to be used, but there's always a probability that the other will get used.

You COULD dual wield an axe of some sort and a sword and open up abilities that rely on one or the other, but with the current limits of the combat mechanics, there's not really much point. And then you're going to run into the same problem as with two swords for abilities that can use either axe or sword--which is the weapon that is going to make the attack? The best you're going to get are style points. At worst, you're going to end up with a high quality stone axe being used instead of a mid quality fighting sword, a potentially huge difference in damage.
