Your choices in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's dialogue significantly impact the game's atmosphere and your character's portrayal, even if they don't drastically alter the narrative's conclusion. This guide focuses on the optimal dialogue choices during the pivotal confrontation with Markvart von Aulitz.
Recommended Dialogue Choices for Markvart's Death
Near the game's climax, Henry confronts Markvart von Aulitz, intending to execute him. A conversation precedes the final act. The following dialogue options are recommended:
| Prompt | Recommended Response |
|---|---|
| I don’t want to sit here all night, dying slowly like a stuck pig. | Are you afraid? |
| At a time like this, you do not feel fear. | Hell awaits you. |
| He will take care of them… He owes it to me. | Sigismund will never be king. |
| He had her torn apart by dogs. | Wenceslas did nothing of the sort. |
| While traitors like Jobst profit. | What have you got against Jobst? |
| Mark my words. | Where’s von Bergow? |
| You would like to pay him a night-time visit as well? | That’s none of your business. |
| Let me depart with dignity. | Give von Aulitz a dignified death. |
The Final Choice: A Dignified End
Ultimately, the most impactful decision is the final one. Three options are presented:
- Give von Aulitz a dignified death.
- Kill von Aulitz like a dog.
- Let von Aulitz live.
Choosing to grant von Aulitz a dignified death is the most impactful. Henry assists Markvart to his feet before delivering the fatal blow, a far more humane approach than the cold-blooded alternative. This choice aligns with the scene's intention to humanize Markvart and highlight war's brutality.
Letting von Aulitz Live
Selecting the third option allows von Aulitz to bleed out. Before leaving, he requests more wine, which Henry provides before departing, leaving von Aulitz to die alone.
Conclusion
These dialogue choices, particularly the final one, shape the player's experience and offer a nuanced perspective on the events. For a more comprehensive guide, including romance options and optimal perk selections, please consult The Escapist.
