Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Problem with Dual Wield

I've been playing around with the game since it was available on Steam. An issue I've come across is that you cannot dual wield a Rapier and Dagger, but can dual wield short sword/short sword or short sword/dagger. In 5E, you can dual wield a Rapier and Dagger, so it doesn't make sense that you cannot dual wield Rapier and Dagger here. I don't know if this is a bug with the game, but it's definitely something that should be allowed by the rules based on 5E.

No its actually correct. Unless you have the appropriate feat you need both weapons to be light in order to dual wield them. Rapiers are finesse weapons, but they are not a light weapon.

You can only wield a Rapier and dagger in 5e if you have the Dual Wielder feat.
