In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the choices you make during quests can significantly impact your gameplay experience. One such decision arises during the Post Scriptum side quest, where you must decide whether to help the miners. Here's a detailed guide to help you navigate this quest effectively.
How to Start Post Scriptum in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To begin the Post Scriptum quest, head to the Kuttenberg region. Locate the tavern just west of Kuttenberg city along the road and speak with the NPC named Kvyertsolav. This conversation will kickstart your journey into the quest, which involves assisting the miners with a letter.
Write the Letter
Your next step is to visit a house in Kuttenberg to help Kvyertsolav compose a letter. Upon entering, select the dialogue option, "Justice is worth more than silver." You'll then have the opportunity to refine the letter's content, leave it as is, or make it more aggressive and concise. Regardless of your choice, the letter's impact remains the same. After completing the letter, be prepared for the miners to turn hostile. You can use a Speech check to de-escalate the situation and convince them to spare you.
Should You Turn the Miners Over to the Bailiff?
If you successfully navigate the confrontation with the miners, you'll face the decision of whether to turn them over to the bailiff. Choosing this option will end the quest immediately, rewarding you with 100 groschen. However, this isn't the most rewarding or satisfying conclusion. Instead, consider taking the letter to Markold for a more fulfilling outcome.
Should You Help Markold or the Miners?
After obtaining the letter, head to the shaft owner's house and speak with the bodyguard to gain access to Markold. Here, you have three options: blackmail Markold, deliver the letter as intended, or collaborate with Markold to eliminate the miners. Blackmailing him is not advisable due to the challenging Speech check and immediate quest conclusion.
Opting to help Markold involves killing three miners, which yields a mere 60 groschen, making it the least desirable outcome. Instead, I recommend siding with the miners. Deliver the letter to Markold, receive seven groschen, and proceed to meet the miners north of the city. At the camp, speak with Myslibor, and when Markold attacks, assist the miners in defeating him. This choice not only nets you 160 groschen but also aids the miners in improving their working conditions.
