I agree with you there, a sword and sheild limited your attack power, but i perfer dual-wielding, even though you didn't mention it :P

Dual weilding gives a distinct advantage over most other weapons. it provides an   advantage that can be compared to a person fighting with one hand and the other person fighting with two. Because its superior and looks infinitly cooler 8) it is the common choice in games where you don't have to worry about the technical difficulty of weilding two weapons at once...

I am no different Dual Weilding is the only choice for me

You and me both. I love to Smite my foes with by 2 handed Sword, haha. I am more of a Strength and Straight out attaning kind of guy. Defence is to wimpy, in a way. I prefer to just charge and kill them as soon as possible while taking as least amount of hits as possible. That is the way i play but i do try it with other methods as well so as to mix the gameplay and experience of the game. The best way.:wink:

Also in a way it can be used defensively while you use 1 sword to attack, and the other to block an enemies move at the same time, but you can tell it takes practise to weild from the fact you need good with both hands and have good hand eye co-ordination

Although it wasn't an original option I would have to go with dual wield. I'm all about rogues of different kinds ^^

Between 2H and S+S I'd go with the shield. Taking for granted that I'm not the only one in charge of dealing damage. I prefer letting damage be the job of rogues and mages of different kinds.

same here, i find 2 handed weapons is powerful but tends to be give less mobility, sword and shield is a compromise between attack and defense, while dual weilding tends to give you the mobility you normally lose when using a 2handed weapon while you keep that power, and usually considerably more speed...

And you can use dual swords for defense as well, so it's a win win situation (unless you suck at fighting :P)

Dualwiedling owns. You have semi defense while using it, and have much better attack. (it looks pretty sick too.)

Ummm... For you guys who answered 2-Swords (aka dual wield), I give you 0/100. Your answer is not responsive to the question. I only asked for 2-Handed sword and 1 sword, 1 shield.

It's like I asked what is you name and you answered "I am Mark, 25 years old." :P

o=Ok then, out of the 2 options, i would pick sword and shield, you can move faster, and have a better defense while stilling having a good offense, 2-handed makes you slower and you lack defensive capablities

Shields are for wusses. I'd rather be the dude charging with a giant two-handed sword rather than the little man hiding behind his shield, just waiting to be hacked apart.

when ever this question comes up i get reminded of KotOR, Jedi Academy and Baulders Gate/NWN

usually i use dual weilding... it can be fast with wirlwind attacks, you can get bonuses from two weapons at once and it looks fancy :P

the blades would be a bit more like that of a shuriken.... around the edges of a circular shield, the larger the shield the less mobility so i think a smaller circular 1 would be better than a larger square or kite shaped 1...

2-Handed Sword all the way. Sword and Shield doesn't really help that much in battle (for me anyways), while 2-Handed Sword style results in extremely powerful attacks and a lot more hits in the older Final Fantasy games.

i actually know how to sword and i do it. i prefer to use 2 handed swords. duel wielding takes alot of training and i find it as just swinging away unless u actually have skill then i repsect. but all the cool ppl use one sword. ie. sephiroth, auron, cloud, king arthur. u name it anyone becuase u have more control with both hands on blade.

very true even though I dont know from experience but it does make sense about the more control, of course dual wielding looks way sweeter in movies and games because the wielder obviously has skills or looks like they do but in real life its much different unless you're very skilled

im goin with 2 handed because of the more power you have behind blows. and you can parry and/or dodge most attacks with only a blade i feel it keeps you more mobile

There is something to be said for using a shield.  There is a little surprise in using the shield as a weapon, and if it has something like spikes on it, it can be just as deadly to fight with.
