While brute force might conquer many challenges in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, sometimes a touch of diplomacy is key. Here's how to smoothly convince Captain Thomas you're a messenger.
Early in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, you'll encounter Captain Thomas on your journey to the castle. Your goal: convince him you carry a message for von Bergow. You'll be presented with these dialogue choices:
| 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, relying on wit, persuasion, and social skills. |
| “I’m the scout of our company.” | Scout | A stealth-oriented approach, prioritizing cunning and evasion. |
While your initial choice influences starting stats and playstyle, it doesn't fundamentally alter this encounter. However, selecting "Adviser" boosts Persuasion and Charisma, beneficial for future interactions. This is a recommended approach given the game's emphasis on more than just combat.
Following your introduction, maintain consistency in your dialogue with Captain Thomas. If you chose "Adviser," stick to that role. Even minor inconsistencies are easily resolved by Hans, ensuring the story progresses naturally.
That's how you convince Captain Thomas in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* guides and tips, check out The Escapist.
