Leveling up early?
If I take the time to fight extra enemies or get as much xp as I can before going on to the next time do the enemies level up with me or are they at set levels for areas?

So does that mean that if I stay at a low level some enemies might be easier?

No. I'm not sure how exactly the formula for the levelscaling works in this game, but the game gets considerably easier as you level up. Likely because at low level you are pretty much average in all attributes, and have access to fewer talents. At higher levels your attributes are more specialized (unless you did something dumb like putting extra strength to a mage), and have access to more talents. Thus you still want to level up as fast as possible.

The game difficulty is the same at all times, pretty much.

Only thing that might make things (seem) easier is the fact that you will acquire more skills as you level, and gear. Your level will always affect enemy level too, so thats moot point.

So if you fight say a High Dragon at level 9, you might not be that well armed to fight it yet, so it becomes harder to beat. If youre level 18 however, you have at least double the skills, you have two specializations, you are probably better geared, etc etc, making it seem easier (or effectively easier). The dragon tho, scaled in level just like you did.

If you want it gone, you have to delete it before the 7th comment.

There is some scaling involved, but there are also technically "high level areas" (like Orzammar). I'd recommend reading this article to see the general recommended order for tackling areas:
http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Challenge_scaling

Very similar to Knights of the Old Republic 1 where you could fly to any planet, but there was a hidden order of difficulty, even with scaling.
