I suppose it's more carrying than wielding, as you don't use them
simultaneously, maybe except shield and 2-hand weapon. But don't forget
about light source in addition. But when carrying is important then why not
use the whole inventory properties? Could be interesting. ;-)

I wonder if some pseudo-hero in the history was able to shoot bow with one
hand BTW. The crossbows are a little less demanding.
