Early in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Henry and his companions encounter Captain Thomas en route to the castle. Your goal: convince Thomas you carry a message for von Bergow.

Your initial introduction offers these dialogue choices:

Dialogue OptionPlaystyleDescription
“I’m a soldier and Lord Capon’s bodyguard.”SoldierA combat-focused approach, favoring strength and aggression.
“I’m an adviser to a nobleman and an envoy.”AdviserA diplomatic approach, utilizing wit and persuasion.
“I’m the scout of our company.”ScoutA stealth-oriented approach, emphasizing subtlety and evasion.

The choice impacts starting stats (Soldier, Adviser, Scout). However, given the game's emphasis on non-combat solutions, selecting "Adviser" is beneficial. This boosts Persuasion and Charisma, aiding interactions with NPCs.

Subsequent dialogue with Captain Thomas requires sticking to your chosen persona. If you're the adviser, remain consistent. Even if you falter, Hans intervenes, ensuring story progression.

That's how to convince Captain Thomas in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Check out The Escapist for more game guides.
