Subject dual wield changes
Removed skill/weight restrictions for dual wielding weapons and wearing shields Added effectiveness percentages for off-hand attacks and others to score/percentage Added safety-nets against dropping or giving away quest eq to NPCs So yes, you on longer need dual wield/weapon to hold two weapons, and (most importantly) you can practice e.g. dual dagger by wielding a pair of equal-weight daggers. Same for wearing shields at all or on your wrist, but without the skill you may not want to because you won't be very good with it. Dual weapon has effectiveness reduced unless your off-hand weapon is lighter than your primary one by factor 2/3.
