Navigating the choices in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, particularly within the main and side quests, can be complex. This guide focuses on the Post Scriptum side quest and whether aiding the miners is the best course of action.
Initiating Post Scriptum:
The Post Scriptum quest begins in the Kuttenberg region. Locate the tavern west of Kuttenberg city and speak with Kvyertsolav to initiate the quest. You'll be tasked with writing a letter for the miners.
Crafting the Letter:
When assisting Kvyertsolav with the letter, select the dialogue option, "Justice is worth more than silver." While the letter's tone (refined, as-is, or aggressive) doesn't significantly alter the outcome, the miners will attempt to kill you afterward. A successful Speech check will allow you to escape this encounter.
Betraying the Miners:
After escaping the miners, you can choose to hand them over to the baliff. This concludes the quest, yielding a reward of 100 groschen. However, this isn't the optimal outcome or reward.
Aiding Markold or the Miners:
Delivering the letter to Markold (the shaft owner) presents further choices: blackmail, delivering the letter directly, or collaborating with Markold against the miners. Blackmailing Markold is inadvisable due to a difficult Speech check and immediate quest termination.
Helping Markold involves killing three miners, resulting in a meager 60 groschen—the least favorable outcome.
The Recommended Path:
The best approach is to give Markold the letter as intended. He'll provide seven groschen and direct you to meet miners north of the city. Assist the miners in confronting Markold. Successfully aiding the miners in defeating Markold yields a 160 groschen reward from Myslibor and improves their working conditions.
In conclusion, supporting the miners in the Post Scriptum quest offers the most rewarding and ethically sound resolution in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Consult The Escapist for additional game tips and information, including advice on the Semine storyline and romance options.
