📋 About This Mod
Requested by HammaHtime.
Apparently when using dual wield, off hand weapons do not give their standard weapon skills.
Now they do.
Skills won't double up, eg, if you you dual daggers, you dont get two piercing strikes. Using weapons that provide the same skill will just overlap.
Optional files for making all 1h weapons light (makes every 1h dual wieldable) and one for making all 2h light (very unbalanced, but functional).
Load optional files after main mod. Optional files will work standalone, as well, for those interested.
Far as I can tell, this seems compatible with Better Dual Wielding by TumblingLemmings, which really helps DW shine. Suggest to load after this mod, just in case.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 526 endorsements and over 63k downloads.
- Fills a real gap for dual wield builds that want more skill variety.
- Optional addons give you flexibility to tailor the experience.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2023 — may need checking for compatibility with newer game patches.
- Niche appeal: only affects dual wield playstyles, so not for everyone.
For players who love dual wielding and want more combat depth beyond basic attacks. If you're a melee-focused build looking to spice up your off-hand, this is worth a shot. Skip if you prefer ranged or magic builds.
💡 Beginner Tips

- Since it's a gameplay mod, consider testing it on a backup save to see how it feels.
- Look for any patches or compatibility notes in the mod's posts section if you use other combat mods.
