Am I Imagining Things Or...

Just a quick question for the knowledgeable sages of this forum.

I could have sworn that in the original flavor BGII that you could equip dual-wielding weapon combos in your quick slot, allowing you to switch between a single main hand weapon and dual-wielding without having to access your inventory screen and manually unequipping your off-hand weapon. Right now I'm playing through BGEE and this would be very handy at low levels, but I'm at a loss to figure out how to do and I'm beginning to wonder if I imagined this ability.

So, am I hallucinating or was this actually a thing? If it was actually a thing, is it still a thing? If it's still a thing, how do I do it?

    I came thinking that this thread was about Neera's BG2:EE quests' NPCs and Neera herself, Her mind is even foggier than usual, could they stop now?

    @mlnevese, @Skaffen - Thank you.

    I knew it was too specific a thing to be imagining - I was just thinking about the wrong game.

    I think I'm going to pop over to the feature request forum and add this particular item to the "please add" pile.

    @CrevsDaak - Sometimes I wish I was imagining things about Neera. When she accidentally summons demons, for example. Usually I'm pretty glad I'm not - like when she's dropping a cow on Firkraag, or when she's turning Jan into a lady.

    @BlueSorceress well, Silke is difficult enough for a level one party, but Neera thought that gating a Demon, creating gems, targeting herself too and casting the spell twice was a good deal...

    Neera thinks of a lot of things are a good idea, @CrevsDaak, but she's not very often correct. Thankfully, when she's right she is *right.*

    Weird, I found Silke to be very mediocre with both my Cleric/Conjurer Half-Elf and my Inquisitor Half-Orc, but then again, me picking up Viconia and Baeloth (in the latter case) early probably helped a lot.

    @Loub Silke never gave me trouble... without SCS... then the things get really nasty... that time I had SCS (I've removed it to finish my fighter solo run but I'll install it again) so, well...
    Last time I've killed her with a lvl1 PC, F/M/T, she couldn't even cast a spell.
    But with SCS, a level one party with a F/T, everyone injured, and Neera gating a Nabassau!! I mean, then it gets difficult.

    @Heindrich you must be level 5 to get Baeloth.

    I was, on the Orc Paladin, specifically, since I had imported him from the Black Pits.
