Early in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Henry and his companions encounter Captain Thomas en route to the castle. Your task: convince Thomas you carry a message for von Bergow.
Your initial dialogue options are:
Dialogue Option |
Playstyle |
Description |
“I’m a soldier and Lord Capon’s bodyguard.” |
Soldier |
Favors combat, strong armor, and has a short temper. |
“I’m an adviser to a nobleman and an envoy.” |
Adviser |
Prefers intellect, diplomacy, and persuasion. |
“I’m the scout of our company.” |
Scout |
Specializes in stealth and silent approaches. |
The initial choice affects starting stats and playstyle. However, many quests require more than combat prowess, so choosing "Adviser" is recommended. This boosts Persuasion and Charisma, beneficial for future NPC interactions.
Subsequent dialogue with Captain Thomas requires consistency. If you choose "Adviser," remain consistent with that persona. Sticking to your story will convince Thomas.
Even if you deviate, Hans intervenes, ensuring the story progresses normally.
