Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Why force we to have Range Weapon Slot?

This is Early Access.. AND.. it's the right time to voice feedback, issues and concerns. Are we supposed to voiced out only once game is finished and shelved?
On topic, not familiar with dnd5e. Can we equip a light crossbow on left hand and say a dagger on the right? If it's allowed by the rules, can we shoot first then move to melee range and poke with a dagger? Or will we get an option that we can move to the target in melee range and poke the dagger twice? (If we have 2 actions)
