Duel-wielding is not practical especially when using a mouse, theres only 1 function when using both weapons at once and thats if you can get them both to activate at the same time, i mean its almost like blinking you have to click both buttons on the mouse that precise or only 1 weapon swings, only way to really use it is to alternate left and right back and forth and thats hard to manage when theres 15 things on you and you have to watch out for a cliff and your hp is dropping and your companions go down even 1 hand and a shield isnt that practical its hard to distinguish an enemies swing to block or parry when theres a dozen of them, i think parry or block indicators like in ryse son of rome would help them be more functional in battle other wise youre in the dark with it and theyre all stacked on top of each other other than than the game is fun and looks good but its quests and story line are under whelming, i hope theres dlc in the future with more in depth and longer quest chains and its not like 75% cinematics, long cinematics are fine but not when quests are very short, makes it feel like im watching an interactive movie, alot of watching compared to gameplay
