I don't think ANY game designers have a real feel for dual wielding 08/26/2019, 12:49:35

The Elf writes: In some games, the speed and damage done are an average of the two weapons, plus a small percentage bonus for damage. In others, damage is the sum of the two, plus a big speed penalty. In most cases, it doesn't really pay to use two weapons. (Are you listening, Bethesda, Wild Tangent, Runic, et al?)

I'd agree with that – even the table-top D&D systems like Wizards of the Coast get it wrong in my opinion. - Peter2 ( Tue 27-Aug-19 11:57:24 ) +1 I think that all of them just think: "Dual wielding! That has so much potential to be overpowered!" - Ramillies ( Tue 27-Aug-19 23:58:11 ) +1 I too think that's the reason. - Peter2 ( Wed 28-Aug-19 12:50:48 )
