In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, finesse can be key to navigating certain quests, including your initial encounter with Captain Thomas. Here's a guide on how to convincingly present yourselves as messengers to him, ensuring a smooth progression through the storyline.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Convincing Captain Thomas

At the outset of your journey in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Henry and his companions will encounter Captain Thomas en route to the castle. Your mission here is to persuade Thomas that you are carrying a message for von Bergow. Here's how you can approach this:
Dialogue Option | Playstyle | Description |
---|
“I’m a soldier and Lord Capon’s bodyguard.” | Soldier | A soldier thrives with a weapon in hand and armored up, known for a short fuse. |
“I’m an adviser to a nobleman and an envoy.” | Adviser | An adviser uses knowledge, eloquence, and diplomacy to resolve conflicts. |
“I’m the scout of our company.” | Scout | A scout prefers stealth, tackling challenges quietly and undetected. |
While these initial dialogue choices primarily set your starting stats and playstyle, opting for the Adviser route can be particularly advantageous. Choosing to be an adviser will boost your Persuasion and Charisma, skills that are invaluable in navigating the game's many non-combat interactions effectively.
Following your choice, you'll continue the conversation with Captain Thomas. It's crucial to remain consistent with your chosen role. If you've selected the Adviser path, maintain this narrative throughout your dialogue. Staying on message will help you convincingly persuade Captain Thomas of your role as a messenger.
Should you stray from your story, fear not; Hans Capon will intervene to smooth over any discrepancies, ensuring the story progresses as intended.
By following these steps, 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.
