While brute force might conquer many challenges in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, diplomacy can be surprisingly effective. Here's how to smoothly convince Captain Thomas you're a messenger.
Early in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Henry and his companions encounter Captain Thomas on their way to the castle. Your goal: persuade Thomas you carry a message for von Bergow.
You'll face these dialogue choices:
| Dialogue Option | Playstyle | Description |
|---|---|---|
| “I’m a soldier and Lord Capon’s bodyguard.” | Soldier | A combat-focused character with a short temper. |
| “I’m an adviser to a nobleman and an envoy.” | Adviser | A diplomatic character who uses wit and charm. |
| “I’m the scout of our company.” | Scout | A stealth-oriented character who prefers subtlety. |
While the initial choice influences starting stats and playstyle, it doesn't drastically alter this encounter. However, choosing "Adviser" boosts Persuasion and Charisma, valuable skills throughout the game. This is recommended, especially given the game's emphasis on more than just combat.
Following your introduction, further dialogue with Captain Thomas ensues. Remain consistent with your chosen persona (if you're the adviser, act like one!). Sticking to your story ensures a successful persuasion.
Even if you stray from your initial story, Hans often intervenes, resolving the situation and allowing the narrative to progress naturally.
That's how to convince Captain Thomas in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* guides and tips, check out The Escapist.
