I think the "two hand" talent is making people forget what's important; it's a mechanical bonus based on the restrictions imposed by only carrying one weapon.

Arbalests, however, are proof that two weapons is NOT STRICTLY DUAL-WIELDING. Try to fire a bow with one hand while carrying a heavy axe in your other, I dare you. No, seriously, I dare you to do it. Do it. If you support the first post, do it. DO IT. THAT'S RIGHT, YOU CAN'T! (And before you try to say something like "Oh, use your teeth" or something absolutely moronic, read up on draw weights of bows and how much strength it actually takes to use one. You literally cannot use one with one hand, unless it's a child's toy.) Yet! Their secondary weapon and cannon skills are the literal point to the class, so if two weapons automatically means things are strictly one-handed, then wow, they can't do anything at all ever.

Scabbards. Holsters. Harnesses. Even just poking a spear into the ground momentarily as you use a ranged weapon. You can put weapons away and take them out. Two Hand is just a bonus to offset the inflexibility of lacking a second weapon. This thread is nothing more than salt against guns.
