I can't seem to get close enough to people to backstab. Periodically it will work out but I'm trying to be a straight assassin type character but am stuck using my bow to avoid pulling multiple NPCs into combat.
I'm wearing leather (light).
Using daggers.
I have 2/5 so far into stealth, so like 35% and also the muffled perk.
I know I need to get farther into the tree but any help on getting better at this?
