In all honesty, duel wielding is a cool gimmick and all, but that's all it really is, a gimmick. It might look cool to duel wield two super powerful pistols, but the accuracy is usually pretty horrific, and so I don't really see a point in using it.

I personally do not believe Fallout 4 will include dual wielding. As amazing and fun as the idea is, making such a feature well-executed, including automatic mod support, I would guess, be crazy hard. They would somehow have to come up with a way for managing both left and right hand pistol reload animations as well as attack animations - such as having a 6-shot revolver in one hand and a 12-round semi-automatic pistol in the other. Also somehow managing certain weapon modifications. (The laser musket for example, having to crank it after each shot - I'd assume they would have something else like this for pistols)

It's an amazing idea and feature, one I would love to have in the game. But I don't think Bethesda would put the amount of resources needed into such a feature without having to subtract something else from the game. Though I do believe that dual wield melee will be a thing, as this is already in Skyrim and Fallout 4 is on a modified Creation.

It would be amazing if FO4 had DW but it wont lessen the gmae if it hadn't. Everybody makes valid points about not having DW in the game. I think dnuobnU is right with regards to animations.

Nah don't like the concept but dual wilding Assault rifles in Power armore whould be cool

That wasn't even in my head before this post, now I really want it, would love to slice the guy to my left in half then blow the guy to my rights face off without looking at my pipboy

PS i might me a tad insane

I dont think fallout 4 has got the dual wedding, but i hope

Okay to be honest do I think there will be dual wielding? No
But with people like Xilandro. Super talented guy; already getting shady versions of dual wielding going in Fallout New Vegas I have no doubt we may see a feature like this in the modding scene come out after release.

Fallout isn't a melee oriented game, so I sadly doubt it. While it'd be nice to have a little more depth than hack-and-slash, that's not really what Bethesda is concerned with for this series. Stuck with Skyrim for my swordsmanship, unfortunately.

he meant dual wielding for firearms. with Fallout 4, though, we may just get the options to mod in such mechanics. Bethesda added pistol whipping surprisingly, so who knows what we could get. It looks like we are getting a lot of modern FPS mechanics in this time around, so that's good enough for me.

nope it would look cool but maybe someone might make a mod that allows you to.

Would be really cool and doable as it's already been implemented into Skyrim which just uses a slightly older engine. I don't think it will though because I would have expected them to have shown it off already. We have already seen a lot of fighting but no dual wielding at all.

I really hope that you can duel wield two pistols

It's hard if not impossible to confirm. I don't think so but we will just have to see when the game comes out. It be awesome if they included it but until Bethesda confirms it I don't really think so.

I highly doubt it. Realistically, duel wielding and actually hitting something is unlikely. The other games haven't included it, and the next won't either. Probably.

No,most likely because it would've been a big feature,and you know bethesda shows off almost EVERY big feature in their gameplays.

I don't see there being being dual wielding. It's just not a thing you see in the other Fallout games. I could only see it happening for melee and handguns. I'd like to dual wield a handgun and knife or handgun and melee, but I just don't see it happening. Fallout isn't too melee oriented. It has melee, but it tries to put a lot more focus on the guns.
