While brute force can conquer many challenges in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, diplomacy sometimes proves more effective. Here's how to smoothly convince Captain Thomas you're a messenger.

Early in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, Henry and his companions encounter Captain Thomas on their way to the castle. Your goal: persuade Thomas you carry a message for von Bergow.

You'll choose from these dialogue options:

While your initial choice influences starting stats and playstyle, it doesn't critically impact this encounter. However, choosing "Adviser" boosts Persuasion and Charisma, beneficial for future interactions. This approach provides a smoother path through dialogue-heavy quests.

During the subsequent conversation with Captain Thomas, consistency is key. Remain true to your chosen persona (if you selected "Adviser," act like one!). Sticking to your story ensures a successful interaction.

Even if you deviate from your initial statement, Hans intervenes, seamlessly advancing the story. That's how you convince Captain Thomas in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*! For more game tips and insights, check out The Escapist.
