In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, while you might be tempted to brute force your way through most quests, there are moments where a bit of finesse can be beneficial. One such instance is when you need to convince Captain Thomas that you are messengers on your way to the castle. Here's how to navigate this crucial interaction smoothly.
At the outset of your journey in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Henry and his companions will encounter Captain Thomas. Your mission is to persuade him that you carry a message for von Bergow. Upon introducing yourself, you'll have the following dialogue options to choose from:
| Dialogue Option | Playstyle | Description |
|---|---|---|
| “I’m a soldier and Lord Capon’s bodyguard.” | Soldier | A soldier thrives on wielding weapons and donning armor, known for a fiery temper. |
| “I’m an adviser to a nobleman and an envoy.” | Adviser | An adviser relies on knowledge, a sharp tongue, and kind words to navigate situations. |
| “I’m the scout of our company.” | Scout | A scout prefers to operate in the shadows, completing tasks silently and undetected. |
While the initial choice of dialogue doesn't drastically impact the immediate outcome with Captain Thomas, it does set your starting stats and playstyle. For a more nuanced approach to the game, especially given the variety of quests that benefit from more than just strength, selecting the "Adviser" route is highly recommended. This choice will boost your Persuasion and Charisma stats, potentially easing your interactions with other NPCs throughout the game.
Following your initial choice, you'll engage in further dialogue with Captain Thomas. It's crucial to remain consistent with your chosen persona. If you've opted for the Adviser, continue to leverage your diplomatic skills and stick to the narrative of being an envoy. Consistency in your story will help in convincing Captain Thomas of your legitimacy.
Should you stray from your initial story, fear not; Hans will intervene to smooth over any discrepancies, ensuring the story progresses as intended.
By following these steps, you'll successfully navigate your encounter with Captain Thomas in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and insights on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
