I see. I'll need to enable that it's definitely the cutting words thing.
Where do I set that?

I always keep opportunity attack set to 'ask' for that reason.
Edit: Yeah, that was just completely wrong.
Easiest way is to click on one of the icons above the far right end of your action bar. As long as they all have a chat balloon "..." overlay you're good to go, that means it's set to 'ask'.

it seems backstab is a hard 1/turn. i had 2 man advantage on a foe, and used fighter "take another attack bro" on my rogue and no backstab option. unless i missed something changing the setup between swings or some thing.

Yeah, you're right. I guess I haven't had enough coffee yet this morning to make a brain fart like that. Never really thought of a situation like that, but I guess I'll keep sneak attack set to 'ask' full time too. I'd probably have allowed the opportunity attack in your situation without considering that it might use up the sneak attack too.

Yea i should prolly set it to prompt too. i just think it's strait up gay that 5th edition has the hard limit of 1/turn. vs the chad 3.5 pathfinder 1 where you're just a blender of fistsfull of dice with both hands, using any weapon yo ucan put in it. then virgin 5th edition is like "only finesse" "oh and once a turn" "oh and you can't have disadvantage"..."the fighter with the great sword? nah she doesn't have any of those problems and will out dps you lols".

People are saying it's bugged too, and if you're a single-class purist and take rogue all the way to 11 you don't get the final bump to 6d6. Never tried it personally, imo anything past rogue 5 is a total waste when you could be getting real damage from berserker and/or fighter.
And the more I think about it, I realize it wasn't even a brain fart and I'd just been assuming 5e worked like Pathfinder rather than going full retard. Going forward I don't see any reason to ever play a rogue in something designed for max damage. 5 levels of warlock are superior in every way (at least as long as Deepened Pact stacks and haste flat out doubles your number of attacks). And if I need a skill monkey I'd much rather use a bard that can handle both dex and cha skills with relative ease. I like the Bard-specific conversation options way better too, at least the stuff I have been seen on both classes in act 1 anyway.

oof i'll be mindful of that. my rogue build has worked pretty well for me. all the skills, human and medium armor feat, so i fight shield and medium armor with fancy armor from the underdark. 23 ac. went assassin. so basically no matter what i get to backstab at the start of a fight. if i can get the drop on some one i get to do it twice (once to start the fight, then once on the first round). an interesting quirk is that i found a dagger that silences my foe. so i get to just rape casters. i'm only around level 8 so i haven't hit the point of diminishing returns.
it does feel like a 2 hander fighter would be better overall. and with the games complete phobia for handing out +1 and +2 shields, any fighter could just have the cleric cast shield on them and 2 hander for very little draw back. the game does a great job of itemizing (better than 5th edition games i've played. with the exception of heavy armor. for some reason they'r fucking alergic to magic plate), but the shield itemization is really lame and 1h/shield doesn't keep pace with dope ass 2 handers i see around.
I'll likely ride the horse to the end though. i was really down on galecaster, but mid chapter 2 i really have come to appreciate how the wizard can tilt a fight at key moments, so...i'll see how rogue/assassin does overall. a massive ass failing of the assasin though is that there arn't any 'assassin' dialogue choices where you have some one in mid conversation and you just put a knife in their neck (starting combat with a sneak attack). i wanted to do that several times heh.

Getting the jump on enemies and using the 2 surprised turns with an assassin can really help the situation. But at the end of the day straight Battlemaster is just so goddamn strong. Ranged or Melee trips/disarms and riposte destroy a lot of melee enemies. Double attacks per turn and so on. Its better than even Berserker IMO (but Berserker is hella fun).
