Should You Choose the Miller or the Blacksmith in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2?

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the "Wedding Crashers" quest presents a choice: aid the blacksmith or the miller. This decision impacts your early gameplay experience, offering distinct skill-focused paths.

The Blacksmith (Radovan):

This route, a more traditional approach, provides a blacksmithing tutorial. This allows for easier recipe acquisition and crafting of weapons and armor. Access to the forge and sharpening wheel enables convenient gear repair and durability enhancement.

The Miller:

Choosing the miller emphasizes lockpicking, stealth, and thievery. This suits players preferring a stealthy approach. While the lockpicking mini-game remains challenging, this path offers ample practice.

The Best Choice? Both!

Ultimately, the optimal strategy involves experiencing both paths. Each character offers three quests. Complete two quests for each to learn both skill sets, then choose one for the final quest to finalize your decision. Regardless of your choice, both offer Henry a place to rest, simplifying exploration.
