Is it possible for ANY character in the game to wieild two 2handed weapons...perhaps a barbarian wielding Crom Fayer and sword af chaos or something cool :o)

well any character can weild a 2handed weapon, but ur example wouldnt work cuz its a one handed and a two handed at the same time: no class in the game can do that (its not d2, mind ye).

DAmn thats what I feared....gotta find two awesome longswords then

It would be cool if chars with something like 22 strength could wield two-handed weapons(Not bows and crossbows) in one hand, imagine the Silver Sword in one hand and Carsomyr in the other!

Well they wouldn't be 2 handed swords would they. Kinda like saying I want to have a super strong archer using 2 bows, One in each hand.

There is a difference, with a bow you need one hand to hold it and one to pull back the string, with a two-handed sword you swing it with both hands because it is so heavy that you need to use two.

Not just a size problem, it is how big you are. A halfling would have major trouble with that 2h sword. (Dunno about BG2 tho.)

I agree. Really strong fighters (18/00 and up) should be able to wield 2-hnd swords in one hand, with a damage penalty of -2 or something. Although, dual-wielding 2 2-hnd swords is really pushing it.

Does anyone else think that it is nuts that Monks can't use staves? The staff is *the* classical monk weapon.

your best to go for katanas if you want to wield two swords at once. celestial fury is one, not sure if theres another good katana. In reality a katana is a two handed weapon and in that respect the games wrong but hey......who cares.
