Tried, but don't work... The best combo you can come up with is heavy weapon in one hand and shield in the other (requires full Heavy Weapon skill tho)

The heavy weapons 5 perk does work on light weapons IIRC, so if you happen to have both heavy weapons 5 and light weapons 3+ you could dual-wield two-handed light weapons. Since there are only a few two-handed light weapons in the game and all of them are garbage, this isn't particularly useful knowledge.

It would be nice... but horribly overpowered at high levels. Could you imagine being able to wield Bane and the Meteor Hammer at the same time? :shock:

You would be able to use 4 at the same time + 2 dual light weapons for the rouge at the back.

I had 2 heavy weapons fighters. I found bane and Scythe+"harvest time" more useful than Meteor. Not too over powered as you have to click them all, lol.

To give you an idea I took out one Meteor fire golem thing at the end in three hits and one in one hit, lol. (I had to reload though as the dragon has to be taken out faster. Which was a 10 seconds or something when I faced it.)

Dual Wielding is integral part of the Light Weapons skill so the answer is "No".

Read the 2 skills. Light weapons 5 lets you duel weirld and LIGHT WEAPON. While Heavy weapons 5 like you use any two-handed HEAVY WEAPON in 1 hand

whackangel answered it, I sort of guessed it would not be possible, just wondering if someone tried.
I was just responding to it might be unbalanced... you would have to click them all like a walking whipper snipper, (you would also have to forgo some of accuracy, critical or armor).
