That's why I agree with the Advanced Melee suggestion that it incur a -1 DX penalty.
Again, we seem to have a misunderstanding.

Left-Hand Weapons
The left-hand dagger, or main-gauche, acts as a shield to
parry 1 hit per attack, from non-missile, one-handed weapons
only, from your front hexes. If you take an attack option,
you can also make a separate dagger attack against the same
enemy. It is rolled at -4 DX.
A figure with the Two Weapons talent can fight effectively
with a regular weapon in each hand. A person who does not
have this talent may attempt the same feat, but his DX will be
-6 for each attack, and he gets no defensive advantage
Where is this gravy you speak of?
