While brute force might conquer many quests in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, a touch of finesse can be invaluable. Here's how to smoothly convince Captain Thomas you're a messenger.
Early in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Henry and his companions encounter Captain Thomas on their way to the castle. Your goal: convince Thomas you carry a message for von Bergow.
You'll choose from these dialogue options:
| Dialogue Option | Playstyle | Description |
|---|---|---|
| “I’m a soldier and Lord Capon’s bodyguard.” | Soldier | A combat-focused approach, favoring strength and direct action. |
| “I’m an adviser to a nobleman and an envoy.” | Adviser | A diplomatic approach, utilizing intellect and persuasion. |
| “I’m the scout of our company.” | Scout | A stealth-oriented approach, emphasizing subtlety and evasion. |
Your initial choice influences starting stats and playstyle. However, since many quests require more than just brawn, selecting "Adviser" is highly recommended. This boosts Persuasion and Charisma, aiding interactions with NPCs later.
Following your introduction, further dialogue with Captain Thomas ensues. Remain consistent with your chosen persona (if you chose Adviser, stay in character). This ensures a successful persuasion.
Even if you stray from your initial story, Hans intervenes, ensuring the narrative progresses normally.
