Depends, if you train as was suggested then it's not too bad. I think in the early going it's alot easier to hit things if you focus on one weapon skill and don't dual (you'll especially notice this at expert level). So if you start with something like a sword and shield and aventually train mace that would work, and you can train as early as Arnika as Antone sells the other offhand mace item, the plain hammer.

It's not as bad if you dual the same weapon; dualing daggers isn't a bad idea for a rogue for instance, or dualing maces for a ninja or even a lord.
