As per title, if you use it, does it work as intended?

I've been testing it this way: open the console, set different melee skill values, and I see NO difference at all in the damage dealt... I.E. after cheating my Axe skill to 98 I inflict the same damage as the one I inflict after putting my Axe skill at 4.

As a side note, I do use Gratuitous violence, but it is loaded before Depth perception, and I even removed the edits the former did to the races, just to be sure...
