I like how you can press C to sneak and if it doesn't work it doesn't cost anything, but if it does work it costs 1 AP. Larian could probably do the same thing with a 'search' button, where if you search and find someone sneaking it costs 1AP but if your wits or whatever isn't high enough that you couldn't find anyone, it costs nothing.

Although it is a balancing act to give a 'search for sneaking' function, without making sneaking worthless. This could also have your player turn to face them. Or if you get backstabbed you should automatically turn to face them, unless you are surrounded.

BTW @Bullethose what do you mean the AI doesn't backstab. Kniles backstabs the hell out of you and the assassin next to Lucian shrine will screw you up.

One time I killed both the archer and warrior and didn't know where the assassin was so I had my wizard and ranger jump down to the platform, threw a fireball at bottom of ladder, but the assassin snuck up and backstabbed BOTH of them. Brought both to about 10 health.

If he focused on only one she would be dead. Or if I didn't already kill the other 2 baddies, a simple AOE would have killed both. BTW AI cheats sometimes because to get to my gals, assassin had to walk thru fire and didn't become visible, also climb up ladder, get behind them, backstab both, how many AP did he have???
