While you could just brute force your way through most of the quests in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, there are situations where a bit of finesse can be beneficial. Here's how to convincingly persuade Captain Thomas that you're messengers in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
At the very beginning of the story in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Henry and his companions will encounter Captain Thomas on their journey to the castle. Your objective is to convince Thomas that you carry a message for von Bergow.
When introducing yourself, you will 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 with a weapon in hand and a sturdy suit of armor; they are also known for their short temper. |
| “I’m an adviser to a nobleman and an envoy.” | Adviser | An adviser prefers to resolve situations with knowledge, a sharp tongue, and kind words. |
| “I’m the scout of our company.” | Scout | A scout operates in the shadows, completing tasks silently, undetected, and with stealth. |
Although these options primarily influence your starting stats and playstyle, they don't significantly impact the outcome of convincing Captain Thomas. However, since many quests in the game benefit from more than just brute strength, I highly recommend choosing the Adviser route. This choice will boost your Persuasion and Charisma stats, making interactions with other NPCs smoother and more effective.
Following your initial choice, you'll engage in further dialogue with Captain Thomas. It's crucial to remain consistent with your chosen role. If you've opted for the adviser, continue to present yourself as such without deviating from your story. This consistency will help you successfully persuade Captain Thomas.
Even if you do stray from your story, Hans will intervene to correct the situation, ensuring the story progresses as intended.
And that's how you can convince Captain Thomas in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
