For much of history, two weapons has been the preference. A single weapon is used for some kinds of dueling. A shield is useful for some kinds of warfare. But for individual combat, you want a two-handed weapon or two weapons. Not using one hand for attack would be like going into a boxing match and only using one hand for punching.I'm completely okay with that, but wielding two weapons with some reasonable level of skill should be an advantage. Which currently it is not. And since in D&D you could have a situation where one weapon does flaming damage and the other crits extra hard, using some kind of mechanic that involves two separate attack rolls is probably best.</blockquote>
