Talking with Nobles embedded in armies...

[SigilFey]

There should be a way. How about a simple option screen (like the one upon entering a settlement) that lets us select who to speak to?

Just saying. Vlandia and Sturgia decided to see who could make more dead guys. Been traveling around in circles for almost 2 hours trying to track down the last 2 people I need to finish the Neretze's Folly quest, and every time I find a lord, they duck into one army or another before I can catch them. Kind of frustrating.

Was just in need of this in my game as well. Great suggestion.

Appreciations! And...

...yeeeaaahhh...it's actually quite an issue. I just spent another 2 hours and some traipsing around, completing quests, trying to wait until the battles were done, and only then did I manage to track one of the lords I needed down. I even had time to completely leave the area, try to find a different noble, wander for around ~20 minutes without being able to catch up to him, either, then make it all the way back, find the armies again, follow them around for another few battles, and finally the lords separated.

(Then, I couldn't catch the one I needed because he had so few men left -- he outpaced me. I ended up needing to spend 690+ denars to get into his castle. )

It wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't so incredibly time consuming. And if you're trying to finish it, you really can't do much else or you'll miss your opportunity.

Also, what about later quests for nobles? What if I need to speak with one of them within a certain time allotment? I could be following them around the map for in-game weeks without being able to just walk up and say, "Hey..." Losing the quest or having the game just dump it would be pretty silly.
