Presumably this will be one of those improved Bioware games that don't permit backstabbing with staves.

Which ironically was the best backstab weapon in any of the Infinity Engine games.

Well, it stands to reason, doesn't it? I mean, if someone snuck up behind you, and you noticed, and they had a dirty big staff in their hands, what would you think? "Oh, you're going to backstab me with that dirty big staff, aren't you?" Not hardly!

So you'd turn around, and before you know it, WHAM! for 85 points of damage, and you're lying on the ground. Must have been that tequila you bought off of that gnome, last night.

Not to mention that you're skidding across the room, acting as a pinball each time you hit a wall.

At least your morale is still boosted.
