IIRC in 3.5e, weapons requirements simply increased by 1 when choosing a small race; so a normally heavy weapon would become impossible to wield as small, regular become heavy, light become regular. Hmm! Was there anything that could be light for a small creature?

 

Anyway now in 5e I'm considering a small creature and I'm wondering about 2 weapon fighting. My main concern is without a fighting style nor a feat, although I wonder how those would function as well.

The weapon size rules are simpler in 5e. Small creatures have disadvantage with heavy weapons. Otherwise, they use the same weapons as medium creatures.
