If RED's decide to implement dual wielding, they may have to make Geralt carry four swords.
for example two silver swords at back and two steel swords at sides.

vote your liking and write your suggestion.

How about he just uses the steel and silver sword?

Or no dual wielding at all, preferably.

I wanted to check the mood. swordsmanship style is pretty much a personal liking.
let's see what does the community like.

Witchers were trained in fight with one sword, so i think two sword doesnt make sense now..

The unknown Foltest would be assassin and Serrit were wielding two swords. Letho used two daggers beside his single sword. so I suppose you're wrong.

No dual-wielding, please! It's terribly overused and isn't so cool and awesome anymore, but just tiring. Additionally, Geralt is a set character, whose profession traditionally uses two-handed long swords and therefore is trained to use those. Besides I think in history dual-wielding didn't exceed defensive main gauche weapons (like a parrying dagger) in addition to a one-handed sword - it's just not effective to use two swords.

I'd rather they push forward in the depiction of two-handed combat and find a new, aestethic way, combining realism and some cinematic moves, to make that as awesome as many consider dual-wielding to be. TW1 and TW2 were in some ways on the right path (although I think Geralt is using only one hand way too often in TW2's combat), but I still think it has a lot of untapped potential - especially if they can make the sword contact and the reaction to it a part of the animation (a bit like riposte in TW2), instead of independent slashing at each other.

The unknown assassin and Serrit didn't use signs. Letho used a single sword when he was also using signs. I think Geralt needs to keep one hand free, so he's restricted to a single sword, with the choice of two-handed or one-handed.

Another witcher school, even located in Nilfgaard.

Geralt learned how to fight with one sword at Kaer Morhen, so it would be kinda strange if he changes now after 100 years to dual wield.

Yeah, maybe during their training they can choose whether to master one-handed or two-handed, plus the use of signs, so clearly Geralt had chosen one-handed training and he should just keep doing that.

You're right. dual wielding and using signs don't seem to cooperate.

I always wondered if the situation with Serrit and Aukes was an indication of the state of decay of the Viper School - the fact that they didn't have signs, and only one of them seemed to be able to detect traps so maybe only one had a working medallion. Maybe their training was just incomplete.

[Agbeth]

Even though I prefer two-handed weapons I would like to see dual wielding combos left click left hand and right right hand.

[gregski]

Geralt is cool and badass the way he is. No need to overdo it with dual wielding. My Geralt will stay classy

Exactly my thought.

When we had to follow that other witcher through the traps I was thinking "why the hell can't i just use my medallion".

But during the time the 3 of them met Geralt when they were massacred by the Slyzard, shouldn't they have been trained before? Was the school of Viper destroyed even before that?

[KnightofPhoenix]

I would prefer no dual wielding. But if it's going to be there, I prefer sword and dagger or short sword.

[Chewin3]

Meh, if it is solely for a combo move or something similar that has been in the previous installments, I'm cool.

[bizgec]

I don't like the idea of dual wielding. Seems a bit wierd after 2 games of two-handed swords... Also two-handed swords are more badass.

[Guy N'wah]

Show me Brian Lara hitting for 375 one-handed, or Derek Jeter getting 216 hits one-handed, and I'll reconsider whether Geralt should keep both hands on his sword. Unless you're Miyamoto Musashi, dual wielding is a gimmick. The fact that opponents use it is just for show.
