Mannon Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 So I was just thinking..... In Oblivion you could have a sword /axe /staff etc. and a shield equipped at the same time, but still use a spell in your shield hand. Is that still the case in Skyrim or do you have to have only a spell equipped in your hand to use it? I mean I love the idea of dual wielding, but I don't think spells should count as an wielding option you should just be able to use it unless your equipping two.

jedimembrain Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 it counts as a weapon .. so you can have sword and shield .. but you loose magic .. you can have sword and magic .. but loose shield .. and so on .. its balanced I think :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malevolentraven Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I agree I feel that it is completely balanced. Realistically assuming you had to do certain things with your hands to cast spells it wouldn't make much sense to be able to do it and hold onto things at the same time.

Mannon Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Well a shield is understandable considering its strapped to your arm :thumbsup: but I guess you're right with every other weapon I guess it makes sense to have to equip it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because I was wandering about how the spell situation would work doesn't mean I don't want to play Skyrim. I've waited 5 long years for this game and it damn well is the climax of my gaming life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
