Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Captain Thomas

Early on, Henry and his companions will encounter Captain Thomas en route to the castle. Your goal: convince Thomas you're carrying a message for von Bergow.

The initial dialogue offers three choices:

Dialogue Option	Playstyle	Description
“I’m a soldier and Lord Capon’s bodyguard.”	Soldier	A combat-focused approach, favoring strength and aggression.
“I’m an adviser to a nobleman and an envoy.”	Adviser	A diplomatic approach, emphasizing persuasion and charisma.
“I’m the scout of our company.”	Scout	A stealth-oriented approach, prioritizing subtlety and evasion.

Your selection impacts starting stats and playstyle. However, since many quests require more than just combat, choosing "Adviser" is beneficial. This boosts Persuasion and Charisma, aiding interactions with NPCs later.

Following the initial choice, maintain consistency with your chosen persona. If you selected "Adviser," stick to that role. Even minor inconsistencies are usually handled by Hans, ensuring story progression.

That's how to convince Captain Thomas in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more game tips and guides, check out The Escapist.
