Does strength work or not?

Increasing my strength doesn’t change my damage numbers, is this how it’s supposed to work.

It should increase your damage numbers…

I’m currently using a mod that disables all Weapon damage skill modifiers, and it appears 1 strength adds 1 point of damage.

Yeah, when I got “brute” it didn’t budge

I’m not sure if Brute stat modifiers applies to the stat sheet or not.

Even “normal” strength does Jack all.

It should unless you have a bug or took a perk that takes away strength.

The reason why I know strength impacts damage is because I have disabled all weapon skill damage scaling, so with 1 strength a weapon with 48 damage will either do 48 or 49.

With 10 strength the weapon does 58.

There is no perk like that to my knowledge…maybe I should just scrap this play through and see if a fresh game works better once I have 1.04 downloaded

I’m using a mod that disables Weapon Skill Scaling.

In vanilla when you level sword that increases your damage, as well as strength.

Weapon Combat Skill scaling is OP which is why I disabled it.

I know, but right now my skills are the only thing affecting damage

The perks are good and what it does is allows you to use certain weapons which require certain levels of str/agi effectively. You can use any gear, you use it well you must meet the requirements

Head cracker is dope, stronghold, clinch master, tight grip, mule 1,2&3 to carry more…boar is junk IMO; haven’t heard from anyone that has confirmed in definitely does anything(i wear plate arms chest and legs, chain coif chest and legs, helmet and cloth everything else…not sure my weight but I’m heavy)
