Did anyone run out of time?

[BloomingLilac]

I currently have 48 days left. I've done part of the golem quest, and I still have to do the giants and beasts. Do I have enough time to finish? I take my time in these games, doing side quests and focusing on the delivery quests only when I need money. I really want to relax and make sure I see the full map, do as many quests as possible, etc. Thanks in advance for any comments.

How do you figure that you have 48 days left?

I never let it get to that point, but I think that it's possible to beat the game, even if you take too long. It just becomes much more difficult, since the monsters will destroy various settlements (and their merchants / quest givers) at certain dates.

I found a forum post on Spiderweb's Web site where someone figured out what day(s) the destruction of the different settlements is supposed to take place. What day is it in your game?

Anaximander says we have 6 months (180 days), I believe, so that's what I've been going by. I'm on day 132. I think I have plenty of time to do the main quests, but I'd like to explore and finish my side quests.

Thanks for the link. I've seen that thread, but I've never seen anyone post about not being able to get everything done, so I was just curious. It would really bother me to get to the end of the game and be told I failed to complete my goals. Some reviewers have posted that the time limit ruined the game for them because they like to take their time in these games. I may eventually start a new game to see how quick I can finish, but I'm not going to rush for now.

It's all part of the Avernite plot. Let the monsters wipe out the surface civilization, then come out of the caves and wipe out the monsters. Then the world will belong to them!
