Im not sure if this is your problem, but it just might be. Virgil suddenly started moving very slow and I could'nt figure out the reason, but then I checked his stats and apperently his dex some way had been reduced to 1, which I guess is from some sort of trap, leaving him a cripple. This could be ...

Ive got no idea what it could be, except for some bug maybe. Try reinstalling the game. Reinstalling usually works miracles

After playing the game for a while now, I can with certainty confirm that you backstab whenever your behind your target. In battle, I circle around the mobs to attack them from behind and my damage is way more than it is upfront. Only drawback is that you lose action points from moving, but they go ...

Thanks man! Very much appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply

First off: How do I use backstab? I cant seem to find any button for the skill.. I have put one point in it and ...
