In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, finesse can often be more effective than brute force, especially when you need to convince Captain Thomas that you're messengers on your way to the castle. Here's how you can navigate this crucial encounter smoothly.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 - Convincing Captain Thomas
Early in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Henry and his companions encounter Captain Thomas on their journey. Your goal is to persuade Thomas that you are carrying a message for von Bergow. When introducing yourself, you'll have several dialogue options to choose from:
| Dialogue Option | Playstyle | Description |
|---|---|---|
| “I’m a soldier and Lord Capon’s bodyguard.” | Soldier | A soldier thrives on combat, equipped with weapons and armor, and is known for a short temper. |
| “I’m an adviser to a nobleman and an envoy.” | Adviser | An adviser uses knowledge, diplomacy, and persuasion to resolve situations effectively. |
| “I’m the scout of our company.” | Scout | A scout operates covertly, preferring stealth and subtlety to complete tasks unnoticed. |
While these choices primarily set your starting stats and playstyle, opting for the Adviser route is highly recommended. This choice boosts your Persuasion and Charisma stats, which are invaluable for interacting with NPCs throughout the game. These skills can significantly ease your journey through various quests that require more than just physical strength.
As the conversation with Captain Thomas continues, it's crucial to remain consistent with your chosen role. If you've selected the Adviser option, maintain your story and use your diplomatic skills to convince him. Even if you slip up, Hans will intervene to smooth things over, ensuring the story progresses as intended.
By following these tips, you'll successfully convince Captain Thomas in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and in-depth guides on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
