Hello. I never play this game and just got it, but I am a BG/BG2/IWD/NWN veteran so I think I'll manage.
The thing is, you guys can probably save me a few hours of experimenting - I want to main a rogue that is good at stabbing people to chunks, but the other skills don't really seem to complement it - expert marksmenship appears to be in the line of ranged characters (I was thinking about being melee/daggers), man-at-arms seems to be something for tanks and the rest appear to be intelligence based skills.
Should I bother with pickpocketing/lockpicking? I know sneaking should be a prime since I obviously want to stab people.
Thanks!
