Hell, you can Two-hand bucklers.

So the whole "Broadswords have never been two-handers" feels.....faulty.

I mean, you can wield them two-handed, but it's not really going to help you. Actually, it can. Your Strength (and I think Dexterity) stat is "increased" by 50% when you two-hand a weapon.

Not only can you get different kinds of attacks depending on the weapon, but you will deal more damage, and it is possible for the STR to be raised high enough for you to be able to "wield it well".

Example: A sword requires 12 strength. You have 9 STR. You two-hand it. It will be as if you now have 14 STR, and thus, you can actually deal decent damage with it now.
