[req] Dual Wield

[Whukes]

I really really really really really want to dual wield. I've been trying to think of a way to balance this and can't think of one other than not being able to block at all. Don;t even know if it's possible to do but dual wielding would make my blademaster complete

I will refer you to a mod created for Morrowind called The Glory Road in which new actions for the player were scripted in.

Google it & maybe you can copy it & figure something out for Oblivion, but I'm sure the fight with right/block with left shield is very hard coded into the fighting style of Oblivion.

 

Have you gone down the list though of fighting styles when making a new character & checked that any of them might inclulde dual weild style? Just a thought...there isn't only one fight-style in Obliv.

The only way you could put dual-weild in is the same way people did for Morrowind: making weapons that were really sheilds and you'd just use it to block.

 

But hey, that's the only way dual weapons were really used in real life, so it's not so bad. (see also: Myamoto Mushashi, or alternitively, Main Gouche fencing)

Yeah, the blocking usage of a second weapon would look fine. However, you'd have to find "weapons" that are just designed for this dual wielding, instead of just using any old one-handed weapon.

 

Then again, why not just use a big ol' axe, like a real man! Cleave your foes in one hit!

[moops]

The only way dual wield weapons were used in real life was to block?!

 

I think if you talk to anyone versed in the filipino martial arts (such as myself) you would find a few raised eyebrows on that subject :)

 

Ive been training in the FMA for over 10 years and let me tell you there are technically NO blocks with 2 weapons (or 1 for that matter), only attacks that intercept the opponents weapon hand (which, when trained, are used to block the weapon, as you run out of training partners quick if you hit their hands ;))

 

I would love to see a espada y daga mod (sword and dagger)

or dual Kris wielding., or dos daga/baraw (two daggers)

 

Cheers

moops = cool bloke :D I looked into the whole ARMA scene, I'm sure I remember people talking about training with FMA guys from time to time (some times getting their backsides handed to them, other times repaying the favour :P).

 

I agree, to do a proper dual wield you'd need to add in a load of animations and spice up the attack styles. Although not to say I wouldn't use a dual wield without that if one could be devised, I'm just saying it'd be really really cool if a Bosmer acrobat could bounce around an opponent with two daggers and slice them to ribbons :D
