Oh, and if you absolutely MUST have a melee weapon to equip, I concur with Magness that you use a two-handed weapon such as a spear, halberd, or even a staff. Ignore your 2* in dual wielding as it will only cause you much consternation when you try to switch between your dual weapons and your projectile weapon.

It's just a pain trying to switch between a bow and dual-wielded weapons that you should be using only rarely.
I suppose from a roleplaying perspective, an archer should use one fairly simple 1 handed sword or dagger as a backup, cuz it's easy to stick in a scabbard and whip out in a hurry.
However, from a game playing perspective, I think that using the rarely used weapons works out great. There are some great and powerful 2H weapons out there, like the Impaler spear or the Ravager halberd.
Also, why tie up a great 1H weapon in the hands of someone who should rarely use it? (unless you wouldn't be using it for other reasons, I suppose)
