can you actually assasinate people in this game? I.E. if you sneak up to them and nail them from behind or something? A friend of mine made a character geared twords assasination and is disapointed in him because he cant seem to do anything, even that first cave he got beat down by the slaves. Is there any point to characters like that at all because from a gameplay perspective i dont see assasinations as possible.

Yep.
Hitting someone in the back will often result in a "critical hit" message.
2x or 4x damage. Something like that.
Anyone know if this is tied to a particular skill like sneak?

As I understand it the victim has to be unaware of you, so sneak would be the obvious assumption.
But take note, you don't actually have to be a master sneaker :) , I've managed a critical hit or two with Sneak as a Misc skill at 5. My actual assasin though does definatly get them more often.

would going up to him invis then stabbing work? my friend picked the invis ability as his sign

If I'm not mistaken you pretty much auto succeed at sneaking while invisible so yeah, invisible would be potent. I don't know if just being invisible is enough, or if you have to sneak while doing so. (which like said above is pretty much a guaranteed thing from my experience.)

Crits are not 100%... i.e. you don't ALWAYS get a crit from hiding.
