Enchantments that aren't limited to the weapon itself?

Basically I saw discussion in this topic, it seems vicous and speed 20 enchantments are applied to the character, not the one weapon, so having one speed weapon can reduce even eliminate recovery for the other hand? Is that true? It's hard to figure out by myself in game because recovery time isn't shown like in Deadfire.

No. Speed only applies to the recovery of the weapon which has the speed enchantment. You need two speed weapons in order to reduce the recovery of each of those weapons (to zero for example). Else you'll have one that has shorter recovery than the other. This can still be useful for Full Attacks (first weapon recovery gets skipped anyway, second weapon's recovery gets used - this should be the speedy weapon) but in order to get two similarly fast weapon recoveries both weapons must have speed.

Also vicious only applies to the damage of the particular weapon that is enchanted with vicious.

The +40% damage comment in that thread was nonsensical. You cannot take two weapons with +20% dmg bonus each and then conclude that this means a 40% damage increase overall. That's mathematically wrong. Two weapons with each +20% dmg still means it's +20% dmg. If one had 20% dmg bonus and the other one 10% this would mean an overall 15% dmg bonus, not 30%.
