Hiding in the open.

How much skill in hiding do you need to successfully hide in the open daylight with enemies around. I have somewhere above 200 now and must always turn a corner or find some dark crevice in order to hide.
I know the Rune Assassins at the end of the Tanner's quest can hide anywhere at will... and many other thiefs in the game. How much hiding do you need to do that?

The thing with the rune assassins is that they backstabbed me when I was hidden... I hate those guys.

Yeah, thats right, you cannot hide in plain view of enemies at any time, unless you quaff a potion of invisibility.

But you can stay hidden in shadows in plain sight of enermies in broad daylight if your HinS is high enough, which is better than in BG1

Rules of hiding were improved
beginning with ToSC. So, rangers now have penalty in town and, maybe, dungeon (not sure about the last) still having the full skill in woods, light and the very existence of shadows have an impact on dice roll, as well, ... all to be more realistic.

No it is not possible to hide when in the view of foes. there are two invisibility rings they work once a day it is just a matter of changing the rings in the battle to have two a day. the first one is a Loot from the lich in the Crooked Crane in city gates and the other in the Den of Seven Vales the inn in Waukeen's Promenade there are some thiefs+others on the 2. floor.

Yeah - these barstads are annoying.
Besides I hope Bioware changes the rule where a enemy thief can backstap you from the front
