Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Can you equip two daggers

I really like this game. It is the most convoluted game I've played in a long time (I haven't watched so many how to's or looked for explanations of how to do stuff in a game in a while), but I still think it's pretty decent.

I'm just wondering why rogue-like characters can't equip two daggers. I have a Shadowblade character that excels with daggers, but I still have to equip a shield. I have had to put points into strength just to wield shields to protect myself. Why force all one handed characters to use a shield versus do nothing with the alternate hand? I've seen people lament that in some dex-based builds the rogue is the weakest, and I feel allowing him to dual-wield would have helped a lot.
