Dual wielding shields

Yeah, it's quite literally Dark Souls in it's entirely - crappy frame rates included.

“In terms of the PC version, the quick answer is no, [we won't be fixing the frame rate problems]. Because we wanted to get the PC version out as soon as possible,” said the producer.

“It’s more strictly a port from the console version. We haven’t been able to step up into doing any specific optimisation for PC.”

awesome! :D

You could put a sharpened edge on the bottom of a shield. Wear two of these types of shields and then spin around in circles as you slice your enemies to bits.

I agree this should be possible. I don't give a damn if it works or not, or if anyone out there thinks it's dumb. Let us do it, it would be cool just to be able to do it.

What if we can use magic with the shields? Imagine setting both shields on fire, then charging through a bunch of mobs while holding the shields in front of you like a wall, setting everything on fire? Awesome. :)

Imagine dual wielding spiked shields =D sounds like something I would definately like to see, just to be able to do it would be enough!

Unique shield that can be put into weapon slot would be really awesome

2 shields? Yes please... That's my build too.
And why not? Shouldn't be hard to implement if the software is build object oriented.

Hmmm.... one way to make this work is actually allow for independent off hand equipping and also removing the restriction from the shield's properties.

If the off-hand can retain its weapon even if the main hand slot is empty, this actually allows for some creative restrictions for legendary items not to mention some crazy weapon sets like a shield and a shield or dual quivers... (woah, some items need to remain restricted to one equip at a time). Also it would give a certain angle to personal customization by actually be able to make an off handed char.

Oh man if this happens I am making an off hand wielding dagger/duelist called Lefty!

Funny idea to wield 2 shields :) , I imagine that the champ has bound the shields around his arms and hits with his fists at the same it. Actually it works :D

I see characters with IC becoming incredibly bulky with pure ES-shields.

I dislike this suggestion since it would make certain tanky builds too tanky, which could translate into 'broken' territory.

If you can find a way to balance it out, sure.. and give me dual-wield quivers as well. I want to stab people in the face with the arrows inside the quiver instead of shooting them.
