Starting with shields; should one unequip?
This time it will not be later, though!... it will be... NOW!
So, the question: Should one leave the starting shield equipped after starting a new character?
And if so, are the penalties negligible, perhaps compared to the benefits? Perhaps considerable but even still outweighed by the benefits?
If not, when should one equip the shield - when, roughly, would the benefits start to outweigh the penalties? Do you want to train your weapon up to a certain point, and then equip the shield? Or do you want to make sure your weapon AND shield are appropriately skilled up before you start using the shield?
Sorry if this is a jumbled mess, I have been awake far too long. Regular nightmares and consistently disturbed sleep make me avoid bed sometimes to the point where it's admittedly sometimes unhealthy.
