There are no quick hacks that i would like to see applied anywhere in this game.
Level scaling and "respeccing" ones especially.
Limiting it to daggers WOULD save significant amounts of time because you can, basically, just allow two daggers to be equipped - and you barely need to balance anything else - if the AP cost is doubled. (baring any specific code considerations and adaptations of which i have no idea)
Which is not the case for combinations of other weapons - which would require rebalancing their damage outputs at the very least - which would require additional changes. And AP cost could not be simply doubled - either. Which would require additional changes and adjustments - which would require additional changes and adjustments.
Which is NOT the case when it comes to daggers.
Which is the reason WHY i suggested it.
Not just because the animation is already there. Which is a very nice additional boon. (btw, animations are one hell of a resource drain and even i didnt really know how big until i read one of the last Pillars of Eternity update)
No other weapons can be effectively dual wielded - because thats just laughable and fit for idiotic hack and slash games like Diablo - which this game is not.
In other words, the dual wielding i suggest would have class, style and elegance.
Of course, Larians do not have to do it at all.
Mine is to suggest, theirs is to consider and decide.
Thats how this business here works.
My suggestions ARE NOT demands.
Besides, i will mod this, so if they cannot do it now. I will. (probably, maybe, )
