Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Allow Flanked Backstabbing/Sneak Attack.. Because.

When a creature is flanked it is subject to backstabs from any quarter.

However, you might want to make this part of a "tree" for backstabbing.

In other words a player must have the talents "BackStab" and "Guerilla" in order to select the third talent "Sneak Attack"...

Or, conversely, you have access to Sneak Attack at Scoundrel 5, though such sneak attacks still require a dagger as normal.

I disagree.

Even when flanked the front is still protected against backstabs.

I think it works fine as is, except we need better indicator for correct backstabbing position.

I agree on the indicator, I once spent 4 AP trying to get my rogue into position walking in a circle around the target.

I agree with Halcyon.
Better indication, not making it easier...

I totally agree, backstab is way to hard to place as you don't have any indicator, just make a wheel on the ground to show where you have to place and it's done

Many times when i backstabbing an enemy stupid idiots shaking their body and i accidently missing the target then my char circles around like a moron. I hate so much this stuff seriously.

This game as so many flaws it seems they didn't play tested it. Seriously, this is almost a game breaker, backstab is pain in the ass to place.
