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 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, utilizing intellect and persuasion.
“I’m the scout of our company.”	Scout	A stealth-oriented approach, emphasizing subtlety and evasion.

The choice affects starting stats and playstyle. However, given the game's emphasis on non-combat solutions, selecting "Adviser" is recommended. This boosts Persuasion and Charisma, beneficial for future interactions.

Subsequent dialogue with Captain Thomas requires sticking to your chosen persona. Remain consistent as an "Adviser," and you'll successfully convince him.

Even if you stray from your initial story, Hans intervenes, ensuring the narrative progresses normally.
