Well, yes, I meant also that the inventory icon and the animation would change to reflect actually dual-wielding. Also strange, I always put the best weapon in the main hand so that any off-hand penalties are impeding less of my potential damage.
I guess my problem with traditional dual wielding is that you always end up with one really good weapon and one not-quite-as-good weapon, and I dunno maybe it's the lack of symmetry stirring up some hidden OCD but it gets to me.
