So there's no actual ability to do more attacks in a given period of
time - it uses just as much energy as two normal attacks? If that's
how it works, then it's pretty obvious why it's not of any benefit
(your examples are a nice illustration.) If you have the Two-Weapon
Combat skill trained highly enough, does it allay the energy issues?
It was fun during that game I dual-wielded swords to see things like
"You hit the (whatever) and seriously injure it. You hit the
(whatever) and kill it" but if it doesn't actually let you get more
hits in for each turn the monster gets then it's obviously not worth
it.
