So I don't know that Strength should be the most important thing.
There are several instances where player-skill kind of replaces features that would have been Dexterity-based if MO had been another game. This is because DEX is often rather naturally interchangeable with player-skill in action-based gaming. For instance aiming while taking distance and wind into account is something that is possible to let YOU do (and not your characters DEX), however drawing a bow or carrying 100kg is somewhat less intuitive to represent with player-skill.

That said, DEX will have effects on archery later on. Although it will never really help you to draw heavier bows.

Is it the sparkling, canned dialog supplied by the NPC when you click on the little talk icon that makes it so interesting?
