this lets me use a 2h weapon with a shield but it will not work for a 1x 2h + 1x 1h weapon setup. using v2.3 w/ Aranna Legacy also there is a quite horrendous bug where if you have the 2h weapon and shield equipped then unequip and reequip the shield, your weapon will disappear irretrievably from the game.
trying to use the method of equipping 2x 1h weapons then switching to a spell then unequipping the main hand weapon will automatically move the off-hand weapon into the main slot so all the 2h weapon will do is equip into the main slot over what is now there like a normal 2h equip with an empty off-hand. trying to equip the 2h weapon into the off-hand slot after unequipping the off-hand weapon (or leaving it equipped) while in spell mode doesn't work either. simply trying to equip a 2h weapon over the already equipped 1h main weapon slot in this setup just gives you that red text saying something along the lines of 'you can't do this'.
edit: i have found some 2h weapons work better than others with this mod, for example fighter staffs work properly as intended but others like the bastard sword have the above problems and can sometimes just not want to equip if you are doing everything right, you just need to keep trying till it equips. others like the sledge will be difficult to equip also and then show on your sprite equipped in the same hand as your shield facing downwards and your attack animation is like swinging an invisible sledge with 1 hand. use at your own peril i guess
