Does Blocking with Dual Weapons possible? I just don't see how this is possible. It seems like the devs are forcing this playstyle to be purely offensive, when TES is and always has been about freedom to play however we want to play. It just seems like it doesn't make sense, since for dual wielding to be effective in any way, a fighter would at least have to parry. It doesn't seem logical. My hope, and my belief (unless someone can give me a dev podcast/blog/interview of any kind) is that the footage or leaked game we have seen is a pre release build and that blocking for dual wielding is possible. You can do it for every other weapon style, including two handed swords, which debunks the "dual wielding allows way more damage" argument, since a daedric claymore does a ridiculous amount of damage, especially when adding all of the available perks. There's no way a dual wielding character can match that. If there's no way to block, it would kill this play style quite quickly.
