📋 About This Mod
Dual Wield Complete (aka. The Offhand Series) by exilehunter
- Description
- Brings the ability to wield 2 weapons at the same time - 1 offensive and 1 defensive. All singlehanded weapons now have a defensive counterpart being sold at Stonewall Shield located in the Imperial City Market District. Offhand weapons take up the shield slot and are balanced to the offensive weapon's statistics. They will not appear in shop until you have met the level they become loot in vanilla Oblivion.
Daedric Artifacts and Unique weaponry can now be toggled to become defensive! Just equip the weapon and select 'Yes' when prompted to change. The offhand version of the weapon will be equipped and the offensive one removed when you exit your inventory (don't bother trying to drop the original weapon. I made sure it's impossible to duplicate). The offhands can be reverted back to normal by equipping them and selecting 'Yes' when prompted. They are all enchanted with corresponding effects ie. drain health will be fortify health and frost damage is now frost resist. Weapons with weights over 45 are considered Heavy armor.
(This no longer requires my old mod - Offhand Series. If you still use it , please either remove it or rename this esp to the old name to ensure no items are lost)

======================= Daedric Chainsaw Addon
Adds J3X's Animated Daedric Chainsaw model into the game. This unique weapon can be found in the Ayleid Ruins of Culotte and has the ability to be toggled between 1 handed, 2 handed and defensive weapons - each position with matching stats. Also, a custom enchantment has been applied that may send foes hurtling through the air. =======================
Dual Wield Complete lets Oblivion players equip a weapon in each hand, with one set as offensive and the other as defensive. It also allows Daedric Artifacts and unique weapons like Umbra and Goldbrand to be toggled to defensive mode. A classic gameplay mod from 2008 with 766 endorsements.
