Look here, dual wielding both looks silly, is impractical even in a fantasy setting and does absolutely nothing to spice up combat apart from making you look like "le epic ninja xDDDD".
If there is something that deserves to be added is a monk type skill tree, which focuses on unarmed combat, at least that can be justified in fantasy, unlike gimping yourself by using two weapons.


Get real, being able to carry hundreds of items in your bags, with the entirely possible hypothetical situation of a full plate armor or 2 handed sword occupying every bag slot - and still being able to fight, whether with a 1 hander, 2 hander or sword and board - is (using your words) both silly and impractical, and gimping yourself. But YES, we are in a fantasy setting, so this is viable, and there is nothing wrong with people wanting dual wielding as an OPTION.

Maximus in Gladiator, and Gannicus and Spartacus didn't look like "le epic ninja xDDDD" - they looked freaking awesome and the fighting looked realistic enough for us dual wielding lovers to want to ROLE PLAY games with the fighting style WE want..

... got it, kid? /facepalm right back at you.
