Early in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Henry and his companions will encounter Captain Thomas on their way to the castle. Your objective: convince Thomas you're a messenger.
You'll be presented with these dialogue options:
| Dialogue Option | Playstyle | Description |
|---|---|---|
| “I’m a soldier and Lord Capon’s bodyguard.” | Soldier | The Soldier playstyle favors combat and direct confrontation. |
| “I’m an adviser to a nobleman and an envoy.” | Adviser | The Adviser playstyle emphasizes diplomacy and persuasion. |
| “I’m the scout of our company.” | Scout | The Scout playstyle focuses on stealth and subterfuge. |
While the initial choice influences your starting stats (Soldier, Adviser, or Scout), it doesn't fundamentally alter the outcome of this specific encounter. However, choosing "Adviser" is beneficial. This boosts Persuasion and Charisma, valuable skills throughout the game where negotiation often trumps force.
Following your introduction, further dialogue with Captain Thomas will ensue. The key is consistency. If you chose "Adviser," maintain that persona and avoid contradicting yourself. This ensures a successful interaction.
Even if you deviate from your chosen path, Hans will usually intervene, resolving the situation and allowing the story to progress naturally.
That's how to convince Captain Thomas in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more game tips and information, check out The Escapist.
