Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Faction Reputation Guide
Reputation in KCD2 decides who helps you and who tries to hang you. Towns, nobles, and gangs all track Henry. How to manage the standing that opens and closes doors.
Reputation is per place and people
Your standing is not one number but many, tracked by town and faction. The reputation system page covers the structure; a hero in one village can be a wanted thief in the next.
Crime tanks it fast
Stealing and killing in view of others wrecks standing and brings guards. The crime and punishment page covers the consequences; a careless crime can lock you out of a whole region’s quests.
Speech checks lean on it
Higher reputation opens speech checks that bypass fights and fines. A Henry known as helpful talks his way past what a stranger must fight through.
Rebuild it deliberately
Reputation recovers through lawful deeds, gifts, and completed tasks. Spend time helping a town before you need its trust, because the standing you build early pays off when the story demands it.
Repair standing on purpose
Reputation does not recover on its own; it climbs through lawful deeds, gifts, and finished tasks, so spend time helping a town before you need its trust. The crime and punishment page shows how fast a careless theft tanks it, and the speech checks page shows how high standing opens doors a stranger must fight through. Build it early and the story’s social beats get easier.
Separate ledgers
Your standing is tracked per town and faction, so a hero in one place can be a wanted thief in the next. Track where you are known and keep your crimes far from the people you need.
Reputation opens the map
Each faction gates quests and vendors, so decide early which to favor and grind their tasks. The reputation system page covers the mechanics. A Henry with friends has options a lone wolf lacks.
