Pretty sure this is rules as written or at least as interpreted by Baldur's Gate 3. It's been a while since my playthrough but I'm pretty sure I was doing this with Astarion the whole time. Knife in one hand unarmed strike with the other. Warrior monk rogue kicked ass.

    In BG3, you have to multiclass into rogue for the off-hand attack. But yeah, I think it would let you "dual wield" with a single light weapon.

    That's incorrect, if you are able to dual wield you can bonus action attack, the issue is that you get only 1 offhand attack and it doesn't get your str/dex to damage without the feat. Also, after lvl 5 other classes get to multi attack with the mainhand, but the offhand gets only 1 attack. 2 if you get the extra bonus action from thief.

    You need to use light weapons though.
