Don't see why not, as long as it's not overpowered. Though you can pretty much do this with other, more powerful 1handers today.
What is WSE?
I cant stand sneaking up behind an enemy without a noice, silently moving in ...
That's because the sound in this game is pure shit. Not because of any good stealthy skills.
It would probably be heavily abused. What you are saying is that we should give a peasant with a dagger the ability to 1 hit-kill people, meanwhile the only other type of class that can do that is a godlike level 30 2h tincan that had to invest 12 points in Power Strike. To many problems with game balance.
are you syaing a long dagger will be overpowered with this feature? lol

I'm saying running with a 500 gold equipment should not give you the ability to 1-hit kill people. It would only work If there is a significant drawback on the part of the user
Bad idea, if you ask me. This is suppose to be battle simulation, not Assassin's Creed.
How about sneaking up on someone wearing plate and wielding a giant 2 handed axe? Axe backstab? Because surely, the axe would do a ton more damage then the dagger?
its just a crappy idea
i mean he wants a dagger to use with low str to 1hit, so he can just pump the rest in agj and run around very fast.
only exception i would accept adding this would be requirement 30str+Black Armour :mrgreen:
Well, if you give it the 'can't be used with a shield' tag it could work. Also, if it would happen, it should get unsheathable tag or get a lot more expensive, since guaranteed one-hit kills are such a big bonus.
Yeah it would. Long dagger + Buckler with high ath and shield skill. 1 hit people in heavy armour who cant get away even though they have 18+ str. :idea:
This idea is plain stupid.
It wouldnt be OP if played how you suggest but your ignoring its potential.

Assuming you get behind an unaware enemy in battle with a long dagger (real life situation (not real life, it would never happen, but reality-wise)), you would be able to kill him with 1 stab, simply by stabbing the right place, which you have time enough to do.but if you hit someone with a bodkin arrow in his chest he should be dead too, if you slam someone with a hammer he should be dead in one blow, if you slash someone with a sword, he should be dead in an instance. but that just isn't how the game goes. so no

Nice idea, but.. maybe you've played games like this a bith much? :)
I have played more cRPG :D
and yes, i got the idea while playing on my assassin alt and RP'ing - but i got it because it simply seemed like crap (both balance-wise, fun-wise and reality-wise) to sneak behind an enemy and then not be able to kill him unless you hit him 5+ times.
The long dagger does nearly the same damage as a german greatsword. If you have to hit people 5 times with it you are doing it wrong.
nop, and with 3 PS, you're lucky to scracth your opponent :D
and btw, a German GS user getting behind an enemy would use Overhead, not thrust.
Also; german GS has 4 attack directions, and you are comparing german's weakest to dagger's strongest.
I've never been 1 shotted by either of those weapons Eponi
Well, I have (also by pikes). I've also killed a fair deal of people with dagger oneshot (or long espada) it's certainly possible.
@Torp
Yeah, I know GG has better attack options. Or that every weapon is better. But that kind of makes sense because every weapon is better. You'd only use a dagger because you can conceal it or grappling (which both doesn't exist in warband) or when the enemy is helpless. As it stands you can kill people with long dagger, but it's hard and I see no real problem with that. With 3 PS as a dedicated melee you are also gimping yourself.
