Jagex Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I, like anyone that is excited for this game, know that Skyrim will feature dual wielding (huzzah! :thumbsup: ) But I was wondering, if you equip two weapons, does that negate your ability to block incoming melee attacks?Or will it be similar to the new blocking system where a nicely timed tap blocks the incoming attack (think of the parrying system in Infinity Blade http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3StIhouBuIQ).Anyone know or have any ideas?

skullsy Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 You should still be able to block / parry with swords. Sure, it might not be as effective trying to block a claymore with a dagger, but Bethesda isn't stupid, so I don't think they're going to make it to where dual wielding makes you defenseless (unable to block) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micalov Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Maybe pressing attack at same time as enemy attacks auto blocks, so its timed block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaskas Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Maybe works clicking both weapons bottons, that would make sense as it would work the same for having a shield and a sword o two swords. sword and shieldLeft-click: Weapon attackRight-click: Shield bash Click-Both: Block sword and swordLeft-click: Weapon attackRight-click: Weapon attack Click-Both: Block I'm not sure how this would work.

ElvenPlugg Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hopefully the quick key is included for dual wielding, i.e When switching from bow to double daggers there is a specific slot to join dual wielding to solo weilding, if you catch my drift?

skullsy Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 From what I understand, they are making it to where you can set entire sets of equipment, armor and all, to a single hotkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corakus Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 According to what I have read, they removed hotkeys and replaced it with a favorites menu in which you bookmark everything you need to it, which not only pauses the game when you open it, but also seems to force you to scroll through a list.But then I read in a recent article that you have separate hotkeys for each hand....which just confuses me.As for the blocking, I'm pretty sure you block with the block button and still attack with the attack button (but with dual wield animations), I think your ability to block is only removed if you have a spell in one hand.
