Skills and stats question

So I know that stats like dexterity govern skills such as accuracy or light armor by controlling how high those stats can go, but does your dexterity also directly factor in to those stats as well? Like will having a higher dexterity cause my light weapons to have higher damage?

I believe they will. Your weapon will have it’s own damage, but you can click on your character tab to see how much damage you’re doing w your dex and light weapon factored in for whatever weapon you have equipped.
