Ok, I was just playing and this is weird.
I restarted yesterday, after getting a lot of skills the first play.
I remember my rogue having "Throwing Daggers" and the skill saying it scaled with STR (before a few patches/hotfixes). Then after I updated my game I remember seeing it changed to "finesse" as it seems a rogue skill should be.
I remember this clearly (except for the skill - it may have been another, but still should be finesse) because after the patches I didn't know what they changed and on a level up took a point in STR for my rogue ... then to my dismay seeing that the skill description no longer said STR, but finesse. Easy to remember when you hadn't saved in awhile and just wasted an attribute point.
BUT, I just updated to the newest patch, and it says STR again for a couple rogue skills, even the best one - I forget the name right now - the one you start with that jumps you right behind the enemy for 1ap. I know FOR SURE that used to scale with finesse (in the description).
So, I don't know if the new patch reverted the previous fix, or if Larian means for it to be this way so you can't make super-powerful characters (with 2 attribute points every level to spend).
The short answer is I have no idea whats going on now - but it is disappointing.
