Well, that's true: I had a hundred strength and long blade, 79 endurance and a robe I found that regens hit points pretty fast, and hadn't been in serious jepardy in combat for a long time prior to this.

I don't know how the game calculates combat, though: since you don't see a health bar for opponents, I'm not sure that you get a lot more damage with a 150 strength than with a 100, all else being equal: so far it doesn't seem make any difference. Critters that took 2 blows before still do. Maybe once you are at 100 str. and 100 skill, the damage is determined strictly by the weapon.

But the extra carrying capacity was irresistible. Dunno why, when I already have more cash than I can spend and a room full of ebony, glass and daedric trophies.

I'll have to check and see if I have a save from before the disease...
