Your choices in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's dialogue significantly impact the narrative's tone and your character's portrayal, even if they don't drastically alter the story's outcome. This guide focuses on optimizing your dialogue with Markvart von Aulitz before his demise.
Recommended Dialogue Choices for Markvart's Death
Near the game's conclusion, a confrontation with Markvart von Aulitz occurs, culminating in his death. However, a crucial conversation precedes this event. 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 decision holds the most weight. Three options are presented:
- Give von Aulitz a dignified death: This allows Markvart to stand before his execution, offering a more respectful end.
- Kill von Aulitz like a dog: This results in a cold-blooded killing.
- Let von Aulitz live: Henry leaves Markvart to bleed out, after providing a final drink upon request.
Giving Markvart a dignified death is the most thematically appropriate choice, aligning with the game's focus on the human cost of war and Markvart's ultimate humanization.
Letting Markvart Live?
Choosing to let Markvart live results in a morally ambiguous outcome; Henry departs, leaving Markvart to die slowly from his wounds.
