LE Dual wield shields

[Electricjudge]

In Skyrim you can bash enemies with your shield, and this is all well and good, but imagine what it would be like if you could wield a shield in each hand and bash the you-know-what out of any fool who dare oppose you.Imagine if the shields you wielded had the metal rim sharpened to an edge which you could then swipe at the enemy with. The animation of the round punches could be used, just enabled so that it could be used whilst using a shield/shields. In addition, a skill tree could be made that could add perks to up the critical chance etc.You could work it out so that the attack speed was about half that of the punch, because of the obvious weight addition. You should obviously still be able to block, but this would be better because two shields cover more area of your body then one, and even in vanilla Skyrim, the practicality of the shield block is next to none when up against an archer.

 

Just a couple of thoughts I had, so critise or whatever else takes your fancy.

He did the bash, he did the monster bash, it was a smash, a double skyrim slash.

While I find the idea of dual smashing boards to be all sorts of fun (Visions of the Imperious Knights from Dark Souls II abound),in Skyrim,it isn't exactly practical. Shield bashes deal very little damage,power bashes take a while to pull off,and are quite exhausting. If you make "shields" as weapons,and apply the appropriate animations (Man/Mer punching animations),then you lose out on the armour rating they provide,as well as the ability to properly block with them.

 

Without some clever scripting,it simply won't work as envisioned. And then there's the can of worms that is an entire perk tree devoted to it.
