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:
Post Scriptum 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. The phrasing of the letter (aggressive, neutral, or refined) doesn't affect the overall outcome. After writing, the miners may attempt to attack; a successful Speech check allows you to de-escalate the situation.
Betraying the Miners:
You have the option to turn the miners over to the baliff. This ends the quest prematurely, yielding a meager 100 groschen reward. This is not the optimal outcome.
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 discouraged due to a difficult Speech check and an immediate quest conclusion.
Helping Markold involves killing three miners, resulting in a paltry 60 groschen. This is also suboptimal.
The recommended approach is to deliver the letter to Markold as instructed. He'll pay you seven groschen and direct you to meet miners north of the city. Assist the miners in their confrontation with Markold. Successfully aiding the miners yields a 160 groschen reward and a more satisfying resolution to their plight.
In conclusion, supporting the miners in the Post Scriptum quest offers the most rewarding outcome in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more game insights, including advice on other quests and romance options, further resources are available.
