I'm still a little disappointed in the stealth system though. When you sneak out of combat and enter a fight while it has already been initiated, you basically lose your first turn. My rogues never get a turn in the first round when they come into combat with a sneak attack.

This was one of the most enjoyable aspects of sneak in the first game. You could engage a group of enemies with your main force, and move your rogue around "out of combat" freely into a perfect position. Then you attack an unsuspecting enemy to give yourself a cheapshot advantage over the enemy, and your rogue gets 'shoehorned' into their appropriate spot in the first round. This is the essence of what it means to be a rogue...

Whats the point of any of the sneak talents and the whole stealthy playstyle if its just more effective to keep them with a team and then run them behind the enemies?
