I'm still rather early on in playing through the game, but I really don't see the need the need for dex, nor do I think that there will be a future need for it.

Makes you more accurate with the bow, and thats pretty much it... right? Bows aren't exactly useless, I've had no luck taking down monsters from a distance, as I see the popular tactic is...

I have 25 dex, no bowskill, no crossbow skill.
Yet I can kill a goblin warrior with two shots and a thug with five.

Enough to take them out from a safe distance.

I have already killed a troll in close combat... Strength and 1h/2h melee rules.

Best Regards

You need a minimum dex to use certain bows.. The early bows are nothing, they get very powerful damage-wise (but you need huge dex). Your strength/dex should be at whatever level you need to wield the best sword/bow you have. There is no other reason for these stats that I can see.

Skill wise its only good for increasing your critical hit chances. x-bows start at 20% criticals with one level and go to 40%
criticals. Very nasty.

Minor spoiler about my chars late game stats...

Near endgame and I have 55 dex and can just handle every x-bow/bow.
