Dual Wielding

Dual Wielding has been confirmed in Skyrim, leading to countless possibilities in combat.

The way it will work is that every single-handed weapon, as well as every spell in the game can be equipped to either your right or left hand.

This means you can use two of the same weapon or two different weapons at the same time. For instance, put a dagger in one hand and a dagger in the other or a mace in one hand and a shortsword in the other for devastating ﻿attacks at close quarters.

Or if you are a wizard or magic type, put a shield in your left hand and a powerful fireball spell in your right or if you want, the same spell in each hand and combine them to destroy everything in your path. You can even equip two different spells. One thing about it though you can't have a sword and a shield or two different types of weapons equipped and still be able to use a spell like in Oblivion. Dragon shouts, being verbal attacks, can be used whatever weapons are equipped.
