WHat really stinks is that now this "trick" has become more of a bonus feature, like walking underwater...

Is walking underwater as good for your calves as walking across an entire map?

Though this is not the correct thread for this, I'll answer your question:

Walking underwater is prolly better for your calves, but you can't walk underwater (in RM3) only "be" underwater... Its not like you can even fight with different weapons underwater...



I cry a lot...

Huh?

Hey I dont know what you mean, do I have to go to the class screen or do I have to go to the people screen?

[chris]

I dont get it.

I cant seem to do it. I want my archer to use a sword AND shield, but I cant. Can someone explain it in a very detailed way, like if I am suppose to be in charactor class mode or people mode? Help, Help, Help.

Re: Equip any character with any weapon

I love this because i have little children using great swords. I have elfs shooting arrows out of tonfas. I was wondering if your character was like thief could you dual-wield daggers?

Re: Equip any character with any weapon

Okay, look, the only characters that can EVER dual weild, are characters that dual weild anyway. Belly Dancers (F), and Fighters (M) I believe, are the ONLY characters that can dual weild anything.
That being said, if you can tolerate the (IMHO) ugliness of the fighter, OR want a female theif, then YES, they can dual weild daggers.
Secondly, its kinda silly to make a theif a dancer just to get the dual weild, as they already dual weild the knives anyways. A better (read: more original) idea, would be to dual weild some of the big, high-end swords, as regardless of the ugliness, this is super cool.

What's with this Dual-wielding fad I've seen in entertainment lately?

With ranged weapons, it just makes them more inacurrate - only one-in-five bullets fired from a hundgun a mid-range will hit, and it takes two hands to aim most of them decently. Melee weapons aren't as bad, some are intended to be used with two hands, and using a shield makes you use one hand, but it's still shaky, and the extra hand could be used for other things like the aforementioned shields

The whole thing fits in with the "OMG-uber-noob-pwner" thing I've seen lately. Ask yourself: when was the last time you heard of dual-wielding in real life (with weapons not meant to be duel-wielded)?

tonfas.

I know that. By the way, who used/uses tonfas in real life?

RPGs arent real life and dual wielding looks cool.

Re: Equip any character with any weapon

Aside from SWAT teams the world over...? Either way, (again, I'm beating the horse to make sure it stays dead, BTW) dual weilding looks cool, and though you MIGHT be so inclined to take 2 long bows into battle (I dunno why exactly) taking 2 great swords into battle DOES look cool AND being a RPG (FANTASY!!!) the ability to lift one with each hand has got to say something right?

And, as a related question, why do people question dual weilding of weapons, and NOT the ability for a heavily armored man to jump (presumably) 7+ feet into the air, flip, and attack a foe all in one smooth motion?

Re: Equip any character with any weapon

Hi I am a newbie at this game but I want to know is there any way a female created character can wield a Katana.

[Dusk Raven]

Re: Equip any character with any weapon

No. Since you can't have a female class use katanas, there's no way to have them wield said weapons.

As for the above discussion, I don't think I mind dual-weild melee weapons (indeed, I kinda like the idea). Ranged weapons pose a problem (unless you tie them together, how can you dual-wield longbows?), especially firearms (how do you reload?).
