Well with the golden nug thing i will now never, ever, have to do a Glowing Key again.

Memories of the Grey always made me annoyed with Blackwall - come on man, you're not even a real warden and you're still insisting we run around collecting griffon feathers so you can what, sleep with them under your pillow? grr

For the people skipping The Spoils of Desecration because they don't want to offend the Dalish - if you mount your horse and line it up alongside the entrance, then dismount, you can dismount into the tomb itself without vandalising any graves there's some nice loot in there as well if I remember correctly

That's what I do as well,
There's 2 ways to complete SOD without taking a Dalish hit;
-The horse dismount glitch as you suggest.
-And also,
Go to the burial grounds, kill all the demons (do not touch the graves!) then return to keeper and gain the favor from it.

Now you can go back and loot the place,
Get the keys and enter the tomb.
No one in-game recognizes any of it at that point, so no - effects.
Of course, I can understand why people don't do it on principle alone, it is a reprehensible act.
Although, I think that was the point.

Well I've yet to complete collecting all the bottles or mosaic pieces because I really can't be bothered searching any more.   In fact there have been time on subsequent play throughs to the first when I knew the glowing circle meant a bottle was near and just ignored it.

 

As for the Shards, when I discovered how they were made it felt wrong profiting from them.   So I stopped collecting them and then found that it was a specifically mentioned side quest in the Keep.    Made a point of collecting them all next run, only to find the conclusion of the quest distinctly underwhelming, probably because by the time I had got all the shards we were so powerful we beat the boss easily.   

 

Mostly it depends on how quickly I want to shoot through.    I've done my completionist run (apart from bottles and mosaics) so now I just take it as it comes.   More likely not to complete a quest than not take it though.

I'm always super completionist until I hit the Exalted Plains. So I'll clear the Hinterlands, Crestwood, Fallow Mire, Western Approach, Emerald Graves, the Oasis, and then I get to the Exalted Plains, finish the Favor of the Dalish quests and Solas' personal quest and I am dunzo. I don't know if it's the ceaselessly spawning undead and demons, the endlessly mazing ramparts, or the everpresent low hum, but I just cannot deal with it longer than an hour. I'll sometimes go back so I can do Vivienne's personal quest and kill the Gamordan Stormrider, and that's it. I'll typically finish the Hissing Wastes and Emprise du Lion, too, which means that I'm getting really close to getting all the shards and stuff, but nope. Not gonna. 

Ugh, I know. I hate the Exalted Plains. Easily my least favourite place. Especially what you said about the "atmospheric" low drone that constantly plays in the background. It hurts my brain after a few minutes. Why can't Orlesian music play like in the Emerald Graves? I mean, it's where the civil war is.

 

Alas... I always do everything there too, because I'm a masochist completionist

[Dancing_Dolphin]

I always leave Druffy to fend for himself. Dumb druffalo.

[Serza]

 

I skipped:

• Hunger Pangs;
• The Spoils of Desecration;
• A Bear to Cross;
• most of dragon hunting quests (killed only Northen Hunter, Kaltenzahn and Hakkon's avatar).

 

 

Hunger Pangs is actually one of the fetch quests that make sense story-wise.

 

Well, at least in a small story of the Crossroads.

Yes, but also no... Since you should be able to send the squad of archers hanging out there to practice on rams instead of target dummies.

[Miel]

It's long, it's boring.

 

Also the race course that the horse master's daughter set up for you. Nope.

[Big I]

In the Winter Palace you don't have enough hala statues to do everything. if you get the elven locket Briala gave Celene and find the guy tied up in Celene's bedroom you won't have enough to complete the caprice coins quest and the Red Jenny stashes quest. I always go find the tied up guy anyway, just because I like knowing everything that's going on at the Winter Palace.

[berelinde]

<-- Is not a sheepdog. Herding druffalo sucks. Herding halla sucks.

 

But I do the quests anyway because I'm biologically unable to leave a quest marker alone.

 

[FeliciaM]

I'm pretty patient, but even the Forbidden Oasis and the shards tested it. I refuse to do those ever again And I haven't touched them since the first time I played. Best decision I ever made. Also... desecrating the elven graves in the plains.

 

That's about it, actually. I complete everything I find.

[Cute Nug]

I wonder if anything is different if we never start even one of the elven artifacts? What if they are used in unveiling the fade? Did the Inquisition start the destruction of the current veiled Thedas?

[ZombiePopper]

From what I understand Solas' artifacts were supposed to be something else but ended up being dropped and relegated to a side quest instead.
About the only thing you actually get out of them is a war table mission once you activate enough of them.

[Statare]

It's my inability to not leave things unfinished that, funnily enough, wont let met finish any re-playing of the game. I did it once. I tried a new character, but I saw that horrible skull on a stick glowing, luring me towards it, begging me to finish the quest, and I looked through, like all the other times the first play through, lit up each, hoping bunny shard location, and shut off the game after realizing it was a better use of my time to go to my neighborhood bar and drink my favorite mezcal. No regrets. Have not tried a new play through since.

[Porphyriassong]

Memories of the Grey for sure.

Why does he even care about any of that? After my first play through I never talked to Blackw all again. I didn't want to have to listen to any more strangled puppy stories than I had to.

[nightscrawl]

For me, I thinks it's 'The Spoils of Desecration', especially if I'm playing elf inquisitor.

It just felt wrong..

 

You know I couldn't think of one before, but you're right, this is the only one for me.

 

I temporarily delay some key companion quests, even going as far as using fast-travel within Skyhold to avoid the NPC that gives it -- having the thing in my log makes me feel like I should do the quest -- but that's about it otherwise.

[KumoriYami]

i don't do the requisitions. those were really, really, really annoying...

 

I usually do all the quests I can but I've never finished the notes in the hissing wastes, and only completed all the mosaic pieces and bottles of thedas once.

[Tamyn]

I've never collected every shard and I've never completed even one mosaic, even though I pick up everything I see. It makes me sad that I couldn't finish one whole mosaic even by accident.

 

The druffalo is probably the only intentionally avoided quest.

[Nefla]

I would avoid every single one aside from the companion quests and the Sampson/Calpernia one if I could.

[ZhengAn]

The shard never really bother me, but the skulls are really, really annoying. Searching require more patience than follow the mark and pick up thing in my case. It always drive me crazy when there is one shard left and I spend 30 min looking through the skull just to find that one.

[d1ta]

Spoils of desecration.

[maia0407]

I've done 3 full exploration/quest completion/collection completion playthroughs. I'm working on another one as well. I have a problem. Good grief, my current playthrough is taking forever with the trials on! I can't walk two feet without running into something to fight, especially wolves. I hate that sound the poor wolves make when they die. 

 

My final playthrough will be with my Elf Mage and I plan to avoid a few of the quests with her. I won't do the spoils of desecration, I'll leave the dragons alone unless they are hurting people and I wont kill the mama bear and mama wyvern. I'll also leave poor Fairbanks alone and not reveal his nobility. I'm on the fence with Vivienne's quest. My elf mage will not be friendly with her and I see no reason why she would trust her with the wyvern heart.
