No, if it was very different like DUAL or DUVEL you would know it meant DUAL but duel or dual is different. BIG time, not just spelling and meaning.
DUEL
Having weapons for dueling, or for fighting each other.
DUAL
Having 2 weapons.
DUVEL
A beer, IIRC.
Actually I think this is correct, but might not be. Its late, I have a headache, and aren't thinking corectly.
Duel
This would be equally interesting...dueling type weapons, which would be nice for mages or duel wielders, a la main gauche or dual rapier (certainly more realistic than trying to use 2 axes or sledgehammers, have you ever tried holding 2 sledgehammers? Good luck with that attack!) But actually the concept of dueling would be interesting...the characters do dislike each other...maybe the DK gets itchy every so often and has a chance to attack your "captured paladin"...So you have to dump skill points in a death knight control/calming skill... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> Or maybe find electric, excuse me, lightning based cattle prods...
Dual
I was surprised this was not an option, I assume they didn't have time to do the animations for it. Would be nice though, and open up some new skills sets for survivors.
Duvel
Beer? I think you are being rather generous in your characterization. Fermented charcoal and absinthe, is more likely <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> No Beer is something like a Liefman's Kriek. All praise the ambrosia, hic!.
