While brute force works for many quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, diplomacy is sometimes key. Here's how to smoothly navigate the encounter with Captain Thomas early in the game.

Early on, Henry and his companions will encounter Captain Thomas en route to the castle. Your task is to persuade Thomas that you carry a message for von Bergow.
The initial dialogue presents three options:
| Dialogue Option | Playstyle | Description |
|---|---|---|
| “I’m a soldier and Lord Capon’s bodyguard.” | Soldier | A combat-focused approach, emphasizing strength and a short temper. |
| “I’m an adviser to a nobleman and an envoy.” | Adviser | A diplomatic approach, utilizing wit and persuasion. |
| “I’m the scout of our company.” | Scout | A stealth-oriented approach, favoring subtlety and evasion. |
While the initial choice influences starting stats (Soldier, Adviser, Scout), it doesn't drastically affect this specific encounter. However, selecting "Adviser" is beneficial for long-term gameplay, boosting Persuasion and Charisma, valuable skills for future interactions.
Following the introduction, further dialogue with Captain Thomas ensues. Consistency is key; maintain your chosen persona. Sticking to the "Adviser" narrative ensures a successful persuasion.
Even if you deviate from your initial story, Hans intervenes, resolving the situation and allowing the narrative to progress naturally.
That's how to convincingly interact with Captain Thomas in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more game guides and insights, check out The Escapist.
