Is duel wielding a thing?

[SaltyCapn]

So I'm new to UO and I want to have my character duel wield daggers. Is duel wielding a thing in this game?

No

No. It doesn't work in here. You either get a 2 handed weapon like a spear, a bardiche etc. or 1 handed weapon with a shield/without shield. If your passion for duel wielding comes from super high burst damage, you may also achieve it with different weapon-skill sets. Check the weapon stats on the wiki page.
