I don't think it should affect defense though (from a roleplaying standpoint, not a game balance standpoint), because if you know how to weild two weapons at once you should be able to use one to parry.

I really think they could be worked into this version of the game (I know it would have to be in a new chapter, but it wouldn't have to be a new class, or any other drastic change) The weapons would have to be a lot weaker for being fast though beacuse not only is there a faster attack speed in general, but for a warrior the adrenaline meters would fill up a lot faster. Another reason why it wouldn't be a good idea to give them to a warrior without a good deal of balancing in the attack skills.

Another idea would be to just make another type of off-hand item (in this case only daggers, or something similar) that would have both penalties and bonuses, i.e. more damage dealt but also more damage recieved. This way the existing weapon system is intact, and if these new items are properly balanced with the other off-hand options it would work.
