I usually dual weild and I can wear heavy armor. If you play a Ranger you automatically start out with an ambidexterity feat. Not only that but later on at a certain level (I don't remember which) you get Improved Ambidexterity and a Two Weapon fighting feat automatically. If you get all of those feats and a light off weapon (believe me there are plenty of awesome short swords and light weapons in the game) you'll be fine. You probably won't even notice the -2 penalty. I've also noticed that with two weapons not only do you deal more damage but you also strike faster than with a greatsword.
