Navigating the choices in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 can be tricky, especially during side quests like Post Scriptum. This guide clarifies whether aiding the miners is the best course of action.
Initiating Post Scriptum:
This side quest begins in the Kuttenberg region. Find the tavern west of Kuttenberg and speak with Kvyertsolav to initiate the quest. You'll be tasked with writing a letter for the miners. The phrasing of the letter doesn't significantly impact the outcome. After writing, the miners may attempt to harm you; a successful Speech check can defuse the situation.
Should You Betray the Miners?
You have the option to turn the miners over to the baliff. While this yields a quick 100 groschen reward, it's not the optimal solution and prematurely ends the quest. A better approach involves delivering the letter to Markold.
Aiding Markold or the Miners?
After writing the letter, deliver it to Markold. Avoid blackmailing him, as the Speech check is difficult and ends the quest. Helping Markold involves killing three miners, resulting in a meager 60 groschen reward – the least favorable outcome.
The recommended path is to side with the miners. Give Markold the letter; he'll pay you seven groschen and direct you to meet miners north of the city. Aid the miners in their confrontation with Markold. Successfully helping the miners yields a 160 groschen reward and improves their working conditions.
In conclusion, assisting the miners during the Post Scriptum quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is the most rewarding and morally sound choice. For more Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 strategies and guides, including advice on other quests and romance options, refer to The Escapist.
