Extending main quest time limit.

[alation13]

Doing an internet search reveals that there are ways to extend the main quest time limit, but when I search for the quests I find nothing. Lets just say, I like to play a SLOW game of building up so the time limit may annoy me. Can anyone either confirm that there are ingame quests to lengthen the main quest time limit or confirm there is no way.

If there is no way, I will probably just end up doing the sandbox mode instead.

I use to solve the main story till the quest rescue the family only.
I grab the brother in the army of the main hero - the only reward in the whole main story - and forget it completely! There is no disadvantage for letting expire the main quest.
The main story is boring, imbalanced and it was concepted for totaly different game!

Thanks, for the information, if that is the case I would probably just do the sandbox as my OCD will not allow me to "fail" a main quest, even if there are no issues with it.

Only play main quest if you are ok with every factions that isn't yours declare war on you at the same time and you cannot sue for peace because plot

Well, the campaign story was never a selling point of the Mount And Blade games, why start now?

You can form your own kingdom, build up etc, and just go to Istinia or the other dude and start the next phase of the main quest with just a couple days to spare. The initial time limit applies only for the first phase.

The cool kids know that main quest is fubar and full of aggravation, frustration and sadness.

The cool kids play the campaign game so they can rescue their siblings, which are three of the best companions in the game and which are not available in sandbox mode. But then, they ignore Neretzes' Folly and let it expire unfinished. This kills the main quest, but no harm is done.

If you ignore the main quest, you can just play it like a sandbox.

That main quest is not necessary to establish your own kingdom, and that banner doesn;t do ♥♥♥♥ for you. (You can easily find better banners.)

You, too, can be a cool kid.

Or you can rise to the challenge. Not like the game offers much of those really. With how the game now handle factions when they lose their last fiefs, it's a nothing burger..
