Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Dual wielding

I really don't get it. Why is everyone so hyped about dualwielding? It basically is already in the game. Using dagger+shield you only attack once. Using dagger and nothing else let's you attack two times. The only thing they could change would be to make a second dagger in offhand do the exact same - attack two times. But we already get that from having just one dagger.

Though you could change that one dagger attacks twice and make it attack one time only with a bit higher damage and make 2 daggers do the double attack. (though that would make daggers a must have 2 thing which sucks when you are unlucky and can only find 1 good dagger. Dual-wielding would nerf scoundrels)
