Imoen backstabbing - Page 2

Jorsh · 12-07-2004, 07:08 PM

Spelca, did you position Jan to the back of the enemy? I think in Baldur's Gate you could backstab them standing right infront of them, but in BGII you have to get right behind the person. Maybe that was your problem.

Were you hidden Spelca?

Feral · 12-08-2004, 05:40 PM

And question no. 3 for Spelca: were you using a legit backstabbing weapon (a weapon that a pureclass thief can use)? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

Aside from the SotM, are there any weapons that Imoen can use that can't be used to backstab?

Not flaming, I'm serious.

Didn't take it as a flame (but thanks for the reassurance). To be honest, I don't know the answer. I'll check, though I suspect someone knows the answer off the top of their head and will beat me to it (please). I also don't know what the answer is for Jan (about whom Spelca was asking).

So, all in all, this isn't much of a post.

Well there's the obvious stuff, like bows and darts and slings. But no one can backstab with them, so it doesn't really matter.

Spelca · 12-09-2004, 05:12 PM

He hid in shadows while he was a bit away from them, then he walked behing them, and tried to stab them with a dagger of backstabbing (though he tried others too). I also tried it as invisible a few times. But it never worked. I made him go directly behind them, and then stabbed. Or should I have positioned him a bit away from them, behind their back, and then click so he'd go there and stab?

I don't know why it never worked. I got sick of trying after a while. I might try it again the next time I play the game again. [img]smile.gif[/img]

It sound right to me. Did you had all the patches?

Spelca · 12-09-2004, 06:03 PM

Yup, I was all patched up. But I played this game a while ago... Have there been any new ones?

Or maybe I just thought I did it correctly, but I really didn't... Maybe I didn't go straight behind them but a bit at an angle. How much straight behind them do you have to go? I mean, if you approach them sideways and then go behind them...? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

You might simply be trying to Backstab creatures that are immune to Backstab, such as Golems, Beholders, Barbarians, Dragons, etc.
