Navigating the choices in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 can be tricky, especially during side quests like Post Scriptum. This guide clarifies whether assisting the miners is the best course of action.
Initiating Post Scriptum:
This side quest begins in the Kuttenberg region. Find Kvyertsolav at the tavern west of Kuttenberg and speak with him to initiate the quest. You'll be tasked with writing a letter for the miners. The wording of the letter doesn't significantly affect the outcome.
The Letter and its Consequences:
After writing the letter, the miners will attempt to harm you. A successful Speech check allows you to de-escalate the situation.
Should You Betray the Miners?
You can choose to turn the miners in to the baliff, receiving a paltry 100 groschen. This is not the optimal solution.
Helping Markold or the Miners:
Delivering the letter to Markold presents further choices: blackmail, simply giving the letter, or collaborating with Markold against the miners. Blackmailing Markold is difficult and ends the quest prematurely. Helping Markold results in killing three miners and a meager 60 groschen reward.
The Recommended Path:
The best outcome involves giving Markold the letter as intended. He'll pay you seven groschen and direct you to meet the miners north of the city. Assist the miners in defeating Markold. This yields a reward of 160 groschen and improves the miners' working conditions.
In conclusion, aiding the miners in the Post Scriptum quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 offers the most rewarding and morally sound outcome. Check out The Escapist for more Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 guides, including advice on other pivotal decisions.
