Will that actually provide extra defence or just slow him down? Like, could I deck my guy out with2 steel shields and a second steel armor set and it would work?

It does slow him down, but not as much as you'd think.
After all, it took me a while to notice it the next day when I was sober, and even the I first didn't realize, that he slower than usual because he was lugging around a cropton of armor and weapons.

But the extra shields DO provide extra defense, I'm just unsure that how much.
I've done some testing since (but not any !!science!!), and having one extra shield helps a lot, especially since the artifact Tashemerith on the left hand is only an buckler.

You need to skill up your fort's weaponsmith some more.

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

Wish my results were the same when I play sauced up...

So how many weapons/shields CAN one dwarf hold (in both hands)?

I watched a zombie dwarf tear off a girls dress and hit her with it so hard it became lodged in her skull.

too bad the extra weapons don't do much.

Looks a bit like adventure 'turtle' mode, with many, many, many shield. I always though of it as a ball of shields with an axe sticking out in the same plce as the beard flows over one of the shields. Above that shield, inside the shieldshell, can be seen two glints of eyes and a vague definition of a nose.

I have a vague recollection, that I was actually testing that, but since I was sauced up, I'm not quite sure. :P

It seems (at least for this dwarf) that he will only hold one item in the left hand and a shield at that.
No matter how many weapons/shields I made him equip, after equipping a shield in the left hand, all the rest went to the right hand.
And as you can see, he can hold quite a bit on the right hand... :D

too bad the extra weapons don't do much.

That actually depends on weapon skills, the higher the weapon skill, the more the dwarf uses it and when a dwarf has more than one weapon available, they pretty much won't use the weapon whose skill is low.

I gave another dwarf a warhammer and an battleaxe, and his skill in those weapons was pretty close together, and he used both in combat.
I may give my hammerdwarfs another weapon from now on, so that they would be more effective versus megabeasts.

Hmm... so how good of an idea is it to give my crossbowdwarves a hammer for when they run out of bolts? It'd be better than the usual "whack the goblin with the crossbow" strategy. Assuming, that is, that they didn't just ignore their crossbows and rush into melee with the goblins still unperforated and much more lively than I'd like.
