I've never had a problem backstabbing the boar in undead parish before but I just started a new character and suddenly it's not working. I get behind the boar and attempt the stab, and it almost seems like the boar just responds with its kick attack. My character even shifts slightly into position as though the backstab registered, and then nothing happens just the boar kick, I dodge it and try again same thing happens every time.

Can anyone explain this to me? I don't know if it's something about my stats, or the weapon I'm using this time (estoc), or maybe I'm just stupid and not doing it right (even though as I said I've never really had trouble doing it before). This is a mystery to me, but I'll keep trying until I figure out why it's not working.
