...what's your plan on achieving this? The early game likes to hand you this first few levels so I think some planning will be required to make this happen.

Avoiding fights and exploration as much as possible seems a given. Rushing to Redcliffe to unlock the mage/Templar choice. I think it's going to be a challenge.

Thoughts?

never done it and I don't think I could. I think in most if not all of my 3 playthroughs I was at least lvl 8 or 9 by the time i got to Skyhold but then Iam moer of a completionist. I do sometimes skip a few missions but I do end up doing most of them/.

Rush to Val Royeaux. Hear out Fiona. Only do as much Power quests as you need to get that Power.

 

Val Royaux is what, 4 Power?

In Hushed Whispers should be 15 Power as I recall.

In Your Heart Shall Burn is 1 Power.

 

Yeah. Avoid combat, play on Easy (for the love of the Creators) because Nightmare would be for masochists (remember, In Hushed Whispers alone is lvl4-7, and to do this, you'd probably have to roll a lvl2 Inky on that quest)

 

Also, the achievement seems to mention something called "Take it slow" which could be a modifier for the game making this more possible.

It'll definitely be a challenge -- one I don't intend to take up. Not a fan of achievements.

Best of luck to those of you who care, however. It looks hard as heck.

I imagine the Golden Nug will help a lot here.

Also, among the achievements is something that mentions "Slaying a lvl16 Fereldan Frostback" - Fereldan Frostback is a lvl11 Dragon in the Hinterlands.

 

It mentions something called "Even Ground" which presumably would make all enemies scale fully to you.

 

Another achievement mentions "Fair Weather Friends" and reaching Halamshiral with all followers.

Those are much more manageable challenges.

Do you know what Fair Weather Friends is about? Maybe they leave if you don't have +50 by then. That's two Greatly Approves (from neutral) - good luck.

Play on easy and rush through everything. I've killed enemies 2 levels above with no problem on easy mode.

 

Although, I rather not replay the whole game again so soon so I hope this is some sort of challenge mode.

Without some kind of XP modifier, I don't think it's possible. I'm usually at level 4 when I hit Val Royeaux, and I zoom there. It might be possible to requisition farm 15 power to do Champions of the Just, but between CoJ and In Your Heart Shall Burn, you're going to gain a level, without a doubt.

after the prologue  you end up level 3 - so you  have to  do half of the game in 2 level .   
the golden mug  is the only way .  with   end game  shematics   you can  go throught all game  with some basics  skills

Yeah...

 

There's the "Take it Slow" thing the achievement mentions, so we're probably getting an XP modifier. All we know... UNTIL TOMORROW OH MY GOD I CAN'T WAIT.

 

CHOO CHOO THE HYPE TRAIN IS NEARLY ARRIVING TO THE STATION!

You end up at Level 3 when you enter Haven. capturing all camps in the Hinterlands will give you the 4 power needed for Val Royeaux. After that you're either close to or at level 4, so requisition farm for the 15 power needed after that.

 

 

Why Champions of the Just instead of In Hushed Whispers?

There is apparently some kind of XP modifier associated with this, so I don't imagine it being particularly hard to achieve with that.

I suppose I'll turn on the toggle to get EXP slower.

 

There's that.

We got a clever one here folks. If you have some info to pass on please do. Or you can sit there smiling to yourself for your brilliantly executed facetious comment.

"Take it Slow on" pretty much speaks for itself. Its a setting you turn on. The leaked survey spoke of a new gameplay mode. This is a new gameplay mode (game modifier toggles).

 

I didn't smile. A little bit of snark doesn't have to be taken as a flippant insult towards you.

 

People complained of leveling too fast and overleveling content, so Take It Slow (slow leveling) + Even Ground (level scaling) is almost certainly (no, not confirmed until an interview or news release or the DLC itself releases) Bioware's response to this feedback.

 

Its not about cleverness, but a small attempt at humor. I'm sorry about miscommunication.

No need to act that way. The upcoming "Take It Slow" option is widely believed to be an EXP modifier- he's neither being facetious nor obtained some secret information. My guess is that the modifier will cut experience gain in half, making arriving in Skyhold by level 5 simple enough technically, although the fights to get there will be incredibly hard if the enemies maintain their level. If the "Even Ground" modifier knocks their higher levels down to yours, it would be much more easily achievable. At the moment, no one is sure if that will only bring lower level enemies up to your level or if it will bring higher enemy levels down to yours as well.

I personally have played the game enough where I look to add as many challenges as possible, so I think I'll give it a try.

I'm curious whether enemies will downlevel with Even Ground, or only uplevel.

 

I think the latter is very possible, so you'll still need to care about leveling - just not be as concerned about overleveling content.

 

I may do a future playthrough that at least tinkers enough with these settings to get all the achievements - as seems to be Bioware's intent.

I can tell you for a fact it is possible

I really hope you are right about this. It would be so cool to turn on challenges to keep other play throughs interesting.

I've already played through the game twice, am I the only person who doesn't want to play through again just for some challenge based achievements?

It adds replay value for the completionists, and gives them another reason to pay for the new DLC.
