ronin, most of the naysayers here just lack imagination. i think your idea has merit. i dont like your idea that control should be made more difficult though. i cant speak for the technical feasibility, but the control granted by a second mouse could be useful. and to those who think the keyboard offers more options than a mouse, i say bollocks. the mouse not only offers the 8 basic directions, but gestures like in b&w, hundreds of them.

as for two weapon fighting, i dont think using one controller for each is a good idea. 99.9% of the time, the second weapon is auxiliary to the first, not equal. for any fancy moves, the primary and secondary weapons could be used in combo, but this would just be another move, entered as a single weapon attack.

all that gas about people not buying a second mouse or plugging it in or whatnot is just lame. where has all the vision gone...

Alonzo, thanks for supporting my statements on the matter.
