I ran into sonmething odd the other day when I was playing Skyrim. My Dual-Wielding Thief was in Brtittleshin Pass. I was going to silently assasinate the Necromage and his Skeleton like I always do. Problem is, when I used my dagger (which was in the left hand; sword was in the right) on the Skeleton, my attack alerted the mage, leading to a much more difficult fight than I had anticipated. I'd never encountered this problem before, so I tried it again on some of the other skeletons in the next room; same result. The dagger killed it with it's x15 bonus, but the other Skeleton knew I was there.

I definitely only used the dagger when I attacked, so it's not like I accidentally alerted them with my sword. I scoured the web for info, but only found debates on whether Dual-Dagger or Sword-Dagger was the superior combat style. Has anyone else run into this? Is it a gltich? An oversight? Or is the silence of your duel-wield weapons determined by what you're holding in your main hand, regardless of what the off hand weapon is?

(I was on the 360, btw)
