✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,591 endorsements—clearly a lot of players wanted this.
- Simple and to the point: no bloat, just makes followers dual wield.
- Over 31,000 downloads shows it's been widely used over the years.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2012—might not work with the latest Skyrim patches or Special Edition.
- Only does one thing—if you want more follower combat options, this won't cover it.
For Skyrim players who want their followers to look cooler and deal more damage with dual weapons. If you're tired of followers using one-handed swords and shields, this is a quick fix. Skip if you're on Special Edition or want more complex follower overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an old mod, check if your game version is compatible—if you're on Skyrim Special Edition, you might need to convert it or find an alternative.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and easily remove it if it causes issues.
- Test with a follower like Lydia to see if the dual wield behavior works as expected before relying on it in combat.
