For me, the order depends on the character i am playing.

 

 

What are your thoughts on that? I like to take RtO early, while the memory of Ostagar and King Cailan is still fresh. He is the only character who has specific, superbly written dialogue for every origin. Glorious!

The Dryden brothers can upgrade the arms and armour to tier 7, if necessary, so that the broken loot drops are merely a financial problem.

 

The equipment can also be upgraded by simply leaving it in the party storage chest.  A little patience can save you a lot of coin.  When you return to remove it from the chest, it will be at the appropriate level for your party - all the way up to dragonbone by end game.

Normally I go to Denerim, hit the dlc's  like the Wardens keep and return to ostager,Stone Prisoner,  from that point on it varies, but usually Orzammar, then Redcliffe. after that, depends on the mood I am in. it changes. XD

As a human noble...the quest line that makes the most storyline sense in my opinion is...

 

Warden's Keep

Ostagar

Redcliffe

Circle (to save the boy)

Redcliffe

Denerim

Urn of Sacred Ashes

Denerim

Orzammar

Brecillian Forest

My Most Common Order:


Warden's Keep
Redcliffe
Circle Tower
Denerim
Haven

(Now is about the time I begin to heavily play the side quests/board quests)

Honnleath
Orzammar
Brecillian Forest
Return to Ostagar

From there, I make sure I complete every side quest/whatever I missed before completing the final missions.

Circle
Redcliffe
Brecilian Forest
Orzammar 

 

The circle is where you get your 21 bonus points. Don't forget the keep so you can store your stuff. Shale after the keep. Return to Ostagar faster if you plan on haste and using Leliana as an archer. There is a bug that makes archery useless with haste. The fix is the repeater gloves or use rock mastery Shale.

As far as the main quest goes, I always go:

 

#1 Circle Tower (Broken Circle)

 

#2 Redcliffe village and Redcliffe Castle

 

#3 Brecilian Forest

 

#4 I start the Urn of Sacred Ashes quest and during the course of it I go to Denerim for information, but I don't actually do the Denerim quests yet, and then I go to Haven to finish the Urn quest.

 

#5 Denerim

 

#6 Orzammar

 

#7Landsmeet

 

This order is considered the ideal order based on the challenge rating of the different locations, but frankly you can do any order you want (however some may end up being too difficult, for example doing Orzammar right after Lothering)

Well, I usually did the Dalish elves last since it is the least interesting to me, but on my last play I did something different, which is RP influenced.

 

I tend to go to the place that matches my PC's origin first, and that is usually the mage tower, my primary class choice. In Lothering you can hear many rumors, so I reason that hearing rumors of problems at the tower makes my mage feel compelled to go check it out. After that I do the whole Redcliffe scenario. I save all of Denerim, with the exception of talking to Genitivi, until we go there for the Landsmeet because I try to stay low and avoid Loghain.

 

After Redcliffe I go to Orzammar, talk to everyone, and after learning that the Assembly is deadlocked, I go to the Brecilian Forest (since I have to go there anyway), to let the dwarves have some time to work things out. I don't like the idea of interfering in their choice of a leader. After acquiring the word of the elves I head back to Orzammar, and on talking to everyone again and finding out that things are still unresolved, I finally decide to get involved.

 

So, the order is:

* Mage Tower

* Redcliffe

* Brecilian Forest

* Orzammar

 

Things would change if I played a dwarf or an elf, but I do really like the idea of going to Orzammar, leaving to give them time to work things out, and then finally deciding to get involved when there is no other option. I really with there were more dialog option to support this, rather than using head canon.

I shake things up mostly, but after Lothering, I ALWAYS do the Broken Circle first.

I dread it to death so I want to get it out of the way.

Plus I don't like choosing between Connor or Isolde so it's a nice option to have the mages ready to help.

Lothering

Redcliffe

Circle of Magi

return Redcliffe to finish that

Ostagar for Duncan's weapons and to lay the king to rest

Brecillian Forest

Orzammar

Denerim

Landsmeet

 

I will add in Haven and if I want to do the golem quest to get shale and soldier's peak as well, I add them in along the way in no particular order though I like having zevran with me so usually after he is acquired.

 

Redcliffe seems like it should be first and with the mages after that it's a long round. Orzammar is long too. I like to break them up with the shorter quests. Haven, while still a decent time length wise, doesn't take nearly as long as Orzammar or the mages in the fade. Orzammar is especially draggy because you have to keep going back and forth. Kind of want to shoot these dwarves for making me do all their work for them.

The first time around I remember it as:

 

Saving Redcliffe

Circle Tower

Saving Connor

Brecillian Forest

Orzammar

Urn of Sacred Ashes

Landsmeet

 

The Second time around I believe it was:

 

Brecilian Forest

Saving Redcliffe

Circle Tower

Saving Connor

Urn of Sacred Ashes

Orzammar

Landsmeet

 

(OK I had to double check some of that one)

It is not surprising that so many do the Circle first - it is the easiest of them all and the Fade bonusses are too good to pass up.

 

What I do find surprising is that no one else seems to do Redcliffe - The Attack at Nightfall - last. It is the only one that is actually scripted to be the last. After dealing with the Desire Demon the Ashes are handed over automatically, whether you like it or not. And at the end of Eamon's little speech there is a dialogue option for going straight to his estate in Denerim. No fuss, no muss.

 

However, the reason why I do it last is difficulty. The loot is Lothering-level scrap but bagging kills while saving everyone during the second phase is bloody difficult.

It differs a little between playthroughs, but most often:

 

Circle of magi (My favorite recruitment quest)

Redcliffe (To get the conversation with Ali fairly early on to get some approval points)

Orzammar (Which I like but it is so looong)

Brecilian Forest (I always put this last among the recruitment quests because it's a bit of a chore)

Haven (For some reason this always ends up being last).

then Denerim, Landsmeet and Final Battle

 

But it does vary. A couple of I've done the Brecilian Forest before Orzammar since it's fairly quick. And in my early playthroughs I usually started with Redcliffe since that was the first lead you got.

I like to do RTO asap also, while it is still fresh, but I like to take Wynne, so I usually go to the circle right after RedCliffe.

I don't have a set path, but I usually do something like

  • Kinloch Hold (since it's pretty close to Lothering and I'd rather not deal with Alistair's daddy thing right off the bat and I want to have the mages all lined up for the next arc AND the Fade stat boosts I'm an awful metagame-y person yes I am)
  • Redcliffe (Again because of location/travel. Sometimes I swap Redcliffe and the Circle.)
  • Honnleath (again with the proximity)
  • Sacred Ashes (stupid running from one end of the map to the other and back again that makes no sense) with
  • Warden's Keep (somewhere in the middle of all the SA running around)
  • RTO (on the way to the werewolves, and with just Alistair and Dog in the party)
  • Brecilian Forest 
  • Orzammar (sooooo far away)
  • Denerim/Landsmeet/endgame (once again with the ridiculous mappy back and forth)

 

Last time out, though, I did

  • Kinloch Hold (annulment)
  • Warden's Keep (Redcliffe avoidance)
  • Redcliffe (lots of bad stuff happened)
  • Honnleath
  • Sacred Ashes (all the ridiculous running from one end of the map to the other!)
  • RTO (just Alistair and Dog in the party because that's how I roll)
  • Orzammar (always sooooo far away)
  • Brecilian Forest 
  • endless endgame blah blah blah

Where I go first depends a lot on what origin I'm playing... my Tabris Wardens always make straight for Denerim after Lothering. My Mahariel headed for the Dalish. I play mages a lot, so going to Kinloch Hold right away makes sense for most of them. Only poor Cousland has nowhere special to go. *sad face*

I follow the ideal quest order as ranked on the Dragon Age wiki, which is based on enemy difficulty. This order is:

1. Cirlce of Magi
2. Redcliffe
3. Brecilian forest
4. Haven
5. Orzammar
6. Denerim

 I usually go for
1.Redcliffe
2. Tower of Magi
3. Orzammar
4. Brecillian Outskirts

 

As do I. Alistair's nagging about Redcliffe starts it off well, you feel compelled to start there, where you have a connection. The other ones (a part from Circle) don't have any stakes yet. Whatever you choose with Redcliffe outcome, you want to know about the mages and their plight... then it's either one or the other.

 

Off topic-ish, but Orzammar is my favourite quest line :)

the order sometimes varies, depending on my origin e.g. if my character is a mage from the Circle, i'd go to the Circle first, and so on.

however, generally, my path tends to go:

1. Circle tower/Brecillian outskirts

2. Honnleath (for Shale)

3. orzammar 

4. redcliffe

5. denerim

6. redcliffe again (for the urn of sacred ashes quest thing)

 

fulfilling the warden's keep and ostagar side-quests usually come before redcliffe.

Personally, once I reach camp after Lothering I like to knock Soldier's Peak out early to get the party chest, as I tend to be a terrible hoarder. I usually do Circle as the next stop to acquire Wynne before heading to Redcliffe, to have the mages available for saving Connor later (I'm a mother -- I just can't bring myself to kill him). From there I'll either take Alistair and Leliana to Denerim for their personal quests, and if I'm playing a rogue I'll start those side quests. Otherwise I'll head to Honleath to pick up Shale, and take Alistair, Wynne and my Dog with me for the Return to Ostagar -- it just feels right to do so.

I usually tackle the Forest after that, followed by Haven, and save Orzammar for last before the Landsmeet and final rogue quests in Denerim. I'll do side quests along the way as I'm in the area, but I also like to get my NPCs early for maximum role play opportunities.

Definitely agree. I guess it does depend which origin, as you'll most likely want to rush to your crib (lolwat) to check out what is going on/berate the chumps who screwed your PC over. Which usually isn't as satisfying as you will want it to be.

I don't do the DLCs for Shale, RTO or Warden's keep.
