Sword & shield is a perfect combination
Dual wielding in general kind of sucks. You can’t really do two different powerful attacks at once. Sure there are things like rapier and main gauche but that’s very specialized. (You can only use a parrying dagger against a great sword so many times before your wrist snaps in half.) In a lot of cases having a free hand that you can use for striking and grappling is probably a better idea.
Also having a longer weapon means having a faster weapon, that’s just how levers work. So having a longer two handed weapon means you can slash much faster.
If you count shields as dual wielding that’s something else, because shields are op.
Cultured. Shields can be life and death, even saves a limb. Rather have a bruised arm than no arm at all.
A sword & shield is the best weapons for fighting humans, a perfect balance of combative power & defensive capabilities.
Theres a reason why people don’t duel wield most weapons, it’s terrible. Shield & spear is good, sorta, I’m bias tho.
But spears are best for animals.

This is also because I can physically can do it. Anyone… most, why is SH filled with sick/disabled people? (Like half of the people I’ve talked to have said, yeah, I kinda can’t do that. I’m perma debuffed).
