“Strength is a measure of your raw physical power. It affects how much you can carry, and determines the effectiveness of all melee attacks.”

Strength determines the damage you do with melee attacks… a whopping half a point of damage for each point of strength. Yes, ten points of Strength gets you the same damage as one Iron Fist perk. Wow!… That’s awful. As far as the skill point bonuses go, Strength is the weakest attribute, factoring into only one skill; Melee Weapons . Five point of Strength is good enough to get me the Strong Back perk, and that’s all you should give it.
