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 accept his request to write a letter for the miners.
Crafting the Letter:
When helping Kvyertsolav write the letter, your choice of wording (formal, informal, or aggressive) doesn't significantly impact the outcome. The miners will attempt to kill you afterward, but a successful Speech check allows you to escape.
To Betray or Not to Betray:
You'll then face a decision: hand the miners over to the bailiff for a quick 100 groschen reward, or continue the quest. This isn't the ideal path; better options exist.
Aiding Markold or the Miners?:
Delivering the letter to Markold presents another choice: blackmail him (a difficult Speech check with a poor reward), give him the letter directly, or work with him against the miners (resulting in a meager 60 groschen for killing three miners).
The recommended approach is to give Markold the letter as intended. He'll pay you seven groschen and direct you to meet miners north of the city. Help the miners defeat Markold, earning 160 groschen and improving their working conditions. This is the most rewarding and morally satisfying conclusion.
In short, helping the miners in the Post Scriptum quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 offers the best reward and a more fulfilling outcome. Consult The Escapist for further Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 guides, including advice on other choices and romance options.
