    Dual-wielding is always neat if you are skilled enough, BUT switching between a bow and two weapons will always be soo frustrating.

    Why didn't you take single weapon style instead? It is kewl too, with two points to it it gives you +2 AC (just like equipping a good shield!) and better critical hit range, you will score a critical at 19 or 20. This is awesome, as when you score a critical hit which is also a back-stab, it really hurts! It is still not too late, if you are bored and frustrated with switching weapons constantly, SK your proficiencies to single weapon class instead! :thumb:

    Well as for that mod, I don't know who created it but I am sure he/she did not create the mod 'after' me. Heck I bet the creator does not even know me and has just used the name, purely coincidental. :) Though I still fail to see the sense. Or is it what they call 'irony'? :p

    Yeh I do hate changing between two weapons and a bow, but I only do it because now the screen pauses on the inventory page! THANKGOD! :D

    I still like playing both styles though, like I guess when I get to the Underdark I'll need to be using the bow more I guess unless I have some nice invisibility spells happening, but especially when I face those Demon Knights!

    Nah, I've always been a dual wielding kind of guy so single weapon style isn't really for me :p

    As for that mod, I'll find it again and paste you the link so you can see what's going on!

    Well your call. Though if you are going to use meleeing for backstab, dual-wielding will do you little good as you will be visible as soon as you attack. BUT, if you are protected by Mislead, dual-wielding and Improved Hasted, it will be evil! :evil:

    I looked for the Silverstar NPC mod but failed to find, links sin other sites seem to be broken for some reason. :p Oh, well...
