Where to go first?

[Dontherust]

So after Lothering, you get the choice of where you want to go. I am curious as to where everyone goes? Is there a set easiest path?

[SlackerBoe]

A lot of people do the circle quest first for wynne/the bonus modifiers. I personally do soldier's keep, Shale, Return to Ostagar, denerim, then do the four story quests depending on what I'm planning to spec into and the party I'm planning to use.

I almost always do the circle tower first then the dalish elf finishing with ozamar with the dlc here and there inbetween the the main places.

I don't know if the enemies are set levels or level up with you, but if they are a set level, keep the dwarves until the end, because the boss in that one is really hard if you aren't prepared

True. Right from Lothering is hard even go to the main gate in dwarf area.

In terms of the four story quests alone, I'd say Redcliffe, then Circle of Magi halfway through (due to immersion and the urgency of the situation at Redcliffe), Denerim, then Dalish, then Dwarves.

I did the dwarves last but I wasn't prepared and that battle was a monstrous headache. By far the hardest fight in the game for me.

Path i recommend : 1. Go for Shale, it is not hard and golem is always useful. 2. Orzammar because there is really good quest for gold in Dust town(you have to deliver lyrium) and really good armor set for strength based character. 3. Tower of magi is pretty easy a there you can compelete few quests from Orzammar. 4. Brecilian Forest there is maybe the best armor Juggernaut armor but you really good strength i think something about 42-45. 5. Redcliff you have to go there main quest line. 6. Denerim. 7. Before landsmeet i do DLCs. That is route i made on hard/nightmare. Yes it was a bit difficult from begining but after couple levels it went easy. There a lot more usefull items you can find in each locations not just few armors, but if you choose this route you should build alistar full strength for amors, he will be really tanky and also has still good DPS coz there is also in Orzammar Topsider’s honor, really good one hand sword. I hope i helped you.
