I have a fighter/thief in my party, and I am wondering whether I should forgo backstab and activate the sneak attack option in the config screen.

I seldom used backstab in BG2 as it's basically a 1-hit hope-for-the-best-and-run strategy. Not very useful when you're faced with a horde of monsters. I feel that sneak attack is better, and gives the thief chances to do more damage (albeit in melee), as compared to backstabbing which is riskier.

Any thoughts/comments?
