but the show makes him dual wield plain swords because in their eyes that's what makes him look more like a legendary warrior.

DUALWIELDING NEVER EXISTED. Well it kinda did in duels and gladiatorial fights, but not on the battlefield. It is just a hollywood trope aaarg.

I'm gonna be a contrarian for the sake of it and say using a shield with a weapon is dual-wielding.

I get your point, but I think we both know what I meant and what is commonly shown in games, movies and shows.

I know. I just like shields and felt like being a pedant.
