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 assisting the miners is the optimal choice.
Initiating Post Scriptum:
This side quest becomes available upon reaching the Kuttenberg region. Locate the tavern west of Kuttenberg and speak with Kvyertsolav to begin. The quest involves writing a letter for the miners, presenting several decision points.
Crafting the Letter:
When assisting Kvyertsolav with the letter, dialogue options include emphasizing justice over monetary gain ("Justice is worth more than silver"). The letter's tone (refined, straightforward, or aggressive) doesn't significantly alter the subsequent events. The miners will attempt to harm you afterward; however, a successful Speech check allows you to escape.
Turning Miners Over to the Baliff:
Choosing to report the miners to the baliff immediately concludes the quest, yielding a modest 100 groschen reward. This is not the most lucrative or fulfilling resolution.
Aiding Markold or the Miners:
Delivering the letter to Markold (the mine owner) presents further choices: blackmail, direct delivery, or collaboration against the miners. Blackmailing Markold is ill-advised due to a challenging Speech check and premature quest termination.
Helping Markold involves eliminating three miners, resulting in a meager 60 groschen reward—the least favorable outcome.
The recommended approach is to deliver the letter to Markold as intended. He'll provide a small sum (seven groschen) and direct you to meet miners north of the city. Aid the miners in their confrontation with Markold. Successfully assisting them yields a 160 groschen reward and contributes to improving their harsh working conditions.
In conclusion, supporting the miners in the Post Scriptum quest offers the most rewarding outcome in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For additional game tips and strategies, including guidance on other quests and romance options, further resources are available.
