@trinsec No, the fact that you initiated a backstab on an idle person, and it didn't work. There's no reason that you should be able to do a backstab and not have it hit if the other person doesn't even move.

@metalcrow Totally sounds like the same situation as in X-Com... even at point blank range you have a 99% chance to miss!

@trinsec It's good for xcom, but not for a directly player controlled action game that needs precise controls.

@metalcrow Hey, wait! I disagree with that it is good for X-Com!

That said, maybe some idle player protection going on?

@trinsec lmaoo, ok fair. But nah, not idle player protection, although that's a good theory. I cut the clip early, if you continue it the dude tries another backstab in a different position and it works. The game just doesn't check angles well it seems.
