shouldn't we all be able to withappropriate weapons? (pistols, some melee weapons)


the difficulty would be the animations, but the second weapon doesn't need to actually do anything other than look pretty, noapplied modsor extra attacks, etc.... it would go a long way twards making the game look more starwarsy.

They can only duel wield prop swords. Not real weapons.


I don't think they would ever add anything like that just for the "looks of it" for combat professions. If you have it in hand, why not use it too?


Besides, how would you implement the stats of a player with dual weapons? There should be a speed increase then, since you can alternate between weapons, but an accuracy penalty of some sort. Why would this keep just anyone from duel wielding?

there doesn't need to be any stat bonuses or effect to duel wielding, in fact it would throw things out of balance...and truthfully, in real life, you cannot aim and fire two pistols simultaneously at a moving target at a distance greater than about 30 feet, there is a need to alternate shots.


that said....strapping on your mando armor, and only being able to wield one pistol....well, it leaves something, visually, to be desired.
