No - DEX only influences ranged weapons (damage and rate of fire). If you plan to go melee then avoid it, especially if you plan to dabble in magic as you can use the extra LP on mana/spells.
I can't remember any in G-1 but in G-2 there are a few melee weapons that have a DEX requirement instead of a STR requirement, this was done so archers could have a semi-decent melee fall-back. Often these weapons had a higher damage rating than a DEX requirement (to counter-balance the low STR that archer characters would have), but that's not something you should worry about. STR-meleeists will get much better one-handers either way.
