So I know this will NEVER be an actual thing in the game since they made dual wielding rogues use daggers only, but it would be amazing if Qunari rogues could use two full size weapons, or even two two-handed weapons like the Arishok did! It would have to be like a special race skill far down the line in the dual wielding tree or something, but wouldn't that be awesome!?

Again I know it'll NEVER happen, but just a thought I had lol XD

Would be cool if they did this for a warrior and brought back dual wielding warriors.  But for a rogue not so much.  Nothing stealthy about a huge guy with horns holding two tree sized swords...

In World of Warcraft, the class that dual-wields 2 handed weapons is a Fury Warrior. The Arishok was a warrior, not a rogue so if this was to happen, it would be a part of the warrior class.

 

I would like for this to be in the game though but I have a feeling it is highly unlikely. Seeing as the game revolves around taking as little damage as possible, a warrior carrying two very huge swords will not be able to defend itself.

Well you can have daggers the size of long swords

You mean versus the daggers the length of short swords that DA:I already defaults too?

I dunno

Those are classified in-game as daggers, not 2H weapons.

There is no sword, or group of bladed weapons that was commonly referred to as short swords, this is a modern term popularized by gaming, D&D in particular.  Longswords where also designed to be used as a two handed weapon, gaming has also led people to believe it is a shorter sword that is favored with one hand.

 

It was not uncommon for daggers to have blades as long as 24", not very far off from dragon age daggers, and certainly no more exaggerated then the other oversized weapons, probably less so actually.

Rogues don't have to be stealthy.

Rogues don't have to be stealthy.

Without stealth, wouldn't they just be considered warriors then?

Warriors in their birthday suits.

The Arishok was a warrior, not a rogue so if this was to happen, it would be a part of the warrior class.

In the game coding the Arishok is labeled as a Rogue, because he's dual-wielding, so that's where my thought process was leading me, warriors =/= dual wield thus it would have to be allowed to a rogue.

I would prefer it as a warrior ability to dual wield two large weapons, but that would require a whole new set of moves while just giving it to the rogues would only require one ability point.

Like I said in the original post though it's NEVER going to happen, so it doesn't really matter in the end now does it? lol

He might have been classed in the coding in the game as a rogue in order to use two weapons but I think it is pretty clear that the Arishok was a warrior lore wise.

Well yeah but that's my exact point, "in order to use two weapons."

Idc what he actually was, I'm talking about a dual wielding ability here, which means rogue. Does it make more sense to be a warrior styled ability? Obviously, but warriors can no longer dual wield, still.

If my HYPOTHETICAL idea did happen and they gave warriors dual wielding to do it then I'd be ecstatic cause it makes more sense then giving it to a rogue, but add a whole new line of abilities, or one passive ability? What do you think would be more likely?

It depends on how much work BioWare would be prepared to put into it. If it's a couple of guys doing it, then perhaps it would just be a passive with some redesigns but if there was a larger group working to do it, then I think it would make more sense to have it as a warrior spec.

Then they'd have to add another rogue weapon line to keep the choices even. Even with a full team I doubt it.

[Tragoudistros]

I don't think your idea is a bad one at all. Rogues differ in fighting style, so it makes sense to simply add a passive.
If warriors were also given dual wielding, they would need entirely new skill lines, and it would further blurr the distinction between warrior and rogue.
Rouges are fully capable of using shields, and mages could use swords and shields, and it becomes apparent that the combinations become endless.
OP your suggestion is a rather simple and interesting one

(still, twin fangs holding two maces might look a little funny )

[Parkimus]

We don't need Qunari rogues dual-wield longswords - we need Qunari warriors goring enemies with their horns! 

[KonguZya]

Another cool racial thing for Qunari could be javelins, like they had in DA2. The closest we'll get to that is an archer, which my male Qunari will definitely be. I was kind of inspired by the badass Qunari who shot a certain someone in the Chantry in DA2

[NoForgiveness]

What about 2 2handers.. and weapon values get halved. That way it's more for ba purposes and doesn't make your character op.
