So I'm pretty sure that this has been asked because I mean why wouldn't it be. But I just wanted to see a fresh one I guess. Anyways the question here is what was your most favorite quests/side quests and which quests were quests that you avoided almost every time, if there was any.
I literally also made this to vocalize my strong dislike of the Druffalo side quest, so simple yet so annoying to me!
But anyway I'm curious as to what others think and what not. So . . . .
I'm actively trying to come up with a quest I avoid, and I've got zilch. So I guess I do them all. Although I like herding halla least.
There is a favorite quest thread on the first page in the Story and Character section, made by Mark Druffalo, suspiciously enough.
But it doesn't ask about the least favorite one.
Favorite is still Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts. Because Orlesian dancing cheese.
My least favorite is probably Scattered Glyphs in the Exalted Plains. It's not a bad quest per se, but it's the only one that makes me groan when seeing it on the quest list. Long busywork with little pay off. But I do dislike the Exalted Plains in general so it might just be that.
I really like the quests in the JOH DLC.

That I agree with completely, I always thought it was because of how spread out everything was and the quests just weren't intriguing. But that's just me.
My favorite part of the main story was the whole sequence from when you close the breach to when you're named inquisitor. It's the only one that got me to feel anything and I just thought it was well done in general. My second favorite was the Temple of Mythal because it was beautiful, I loved getting extra lore and meeting the ancient elves and there were actually some puzzles to do (and I'm a puzzle fiend). My least favorite main quest was definitely Wicked Eyes Wicked Hearts. While I like the concept of going to a ball and uncovering an assassination plot, I just don't think it was well done at all. I was given no reason to care about any of the characters involved, and running around collecting notes and such wasn't very stimulating. I wish the characters had been better developed and that there was an actual mystery and tension involved. As far as ambient side quests, the only one I found somewhat interesting was the Crestwood area one, I found the rest very dull and would not look forward to doing any of them again. I loved the companion quests though.
I avoid nothing. IYHSB is the best.
The only quest I avoid doing is The Spoils of Desecration -- going into Var Bellanaris during the quest From the Beyond. I work around that by using the mount cheat to pop into the doorway and get the final exploration for Exalted Plains.
The most annoying quest, to me, is Letter from a Lover because the required plant is several levels away forcing me to leave this quest incomplete for quite a long while.
I already discussed my favorite(s) in this thread.
Only quest I get a twinge of disgust is whole horse race thing. Its literally the only time I use a mount in the entire game and it literally serves no purpose. Its not hard or aggravating... just has that "might as well get this out of the way" feel to it.
My least favourite quest is the shards/occulara simply because some of them were placed in such an annoying way and were frustratingly difficult to get to (with PC controls anyway) but chiefly because I hated the idea of looking through the damn things after I'd discovered how they had been made. Then having discovered this wretched quest was actually recorded in the Keep, I felt obliged to complete it at least once. I was totally underwhelmed by what I finally found behind the last door and it had zero impact on anything in the main game or subsequent DLC. If it had resulted in some artefact that was needed to defeat Corypheus it would have made more sense but it seemed everyone was meant to be hunting these shards for no perceived benefit beyond a bit of elemental buffing.
I also came to loath Bottles of Thedas because of the number of times they would cause the yellow circle to light up and someone comment how it was worth looking into, only to find yet another pointless bottle, again often after a frustratingly difficult climb to get to it or the need for the deft hands perk.
Of the main game quests, I disliked Hushed Whispers because I don't think time travel magic goes with the setting and so it seemed lore breaking to me, although it was enjoyable to play.
Wicked Eyes would have been better without the dependence on Halla statues, particularly since no indication was given as to how many you would use on a particular door until after they had been. It also seemed to have been set up for you to fail to acquire certain information because you might well not have enough statues until after going downstairs in the Royal Apartments but that involved passing a door where clearly something was going on; so why wouldn't you investigate there first? However, once you had done so, there was no going back. It was easy enough once you had done the quest the first time because you knew how it worked but first run it was a nightmare. I never found the locket because at that point I didn't have enough Halla statues and never thought to go back because I assumed it would just be random loot, like in the garden. Going into the Winter Palace our priority was meant to be identifying and eliminating an assassin but that turned out to be easy since they stand there and admit to it and so instead the focus was on us deciding who should rule Orlais, which made very little sense and was so arbitrary, dependent as it was on which doors you had opened. So great initial concept but rather disappointing in the delivery.
The final confrontation with Corypheus was also a bit disappointing. It didn't help that in all the preceding discussions with companions they seemed to be acting like it was a foregone conclusion, since they were planning on what they would be doing next/asking you what your plans were, when the boss guy was still out there. If you had done a complete play through before confronting him then you were just too powerful for him. Morrigan's speech when you first see the rift appear from Skyhold was just too overdone in trying to create a sense of jeopardy.
I liked Champions of the Just because it was a good way of introducing Cole and the idea of portraying the struggle with a demon trying to take over your mind. I also preferred this path because it led to seeing more of the Venatori and Calpurnia, who had a much more interesting story arc than Samson.
I also liked the whole sequence from closing the rift the first time, through the attack on Haven, until our arrival at Skyhold. That bit of the game worked best for me.
I also liked the Temple of Mythal, partly because it gave me the elven lore I was longing for, but also for the puzzles and the Well of Sorrows, plus the spirit rising up at the end to confront Corypheus. It definitely put some of the magic and mystery back into the story.

The last main quest. It is fine, but I just hate it that Solas leaves and everybody knows it's an end when you go talk to them.

Try taking Danny to help you close that rift in front of the waterfall before your level matches that of the demons. That makes the quest a lot more interesting.
I think the only quest I didn't do was a Chore Table mission about burning some guy's crops, imprisoning him, or killing him simply for growing the same herbs as Elan Ve'mal, your herbalist.

Does he help, cause if so then that quest might just be a bit more interesting.
Least favourite - the elven graveyard and tomb on the Exalted Plains. It's exasperating because there is no valid reason to break into it. It's there because the devs probably thought it's a good excuse as any to make the inquisitor do bad stuff, lie, etc, about the deed if questioned. As an added incentive, they plop one of the mosiac pieces in there but the mosiac pieces are not an active quest. It's passive, there is no trail or clues to follow that would provide the grounds that it's necessary to break into the tomb.
What's even more idiotic is that one of the companions would comment that they should respect the dead, not disturb them and yet, there's no reaction when the deed was carried out. It's one of many half baked notions in DAI. It's as if people on the dev board just came up with ideas but never bother to ponder on the motivation of such an action and follow through on the aftereffect.
"hey, that flower looks good on the pie"
"ok, we'll add it in."
"That sprig will enhance the overall presence."
"ok, we'll add it in."
"I think putting a buttercup will add firecrackers to the action."
"ok, we'll add it in."
...nobody asked how it would taste in the end.
I really like the quests in the JOH DLC.
Me too, I'm really fond of the Avvar in general. I always enjoy when there's one on the scene. I wish we had an Avvar companion. It's hard to count any DLC though, because DLC's typically have a more "premium" feel over the vanilla game, even if this one is largely more of the same with a new zone, albeit a very nice one.

Yes I think they did the frostback basin really well. Both the old story of Ameridan and the new with Gurd. Gurd massing was really good sort of like Hespiths poem (imho).
I guess the main quests are the best, but to be honest i avoid most of the side content if i can. I liked the descent if you look at that as a sidequest but as a dlc its not really that great.
The least fav : The quest with the Golden Halla in Exalted Plains, i really hate it 
He wants to go everywhere but where i want him to go... nope !
My fav : IYHSB

That pretty much sums me up too in most playthroughs. I do sometimes skip a few side missions or do them differently and other things in these games. But that's moer down to seeing if something different happens because of it rather than me not liking the quest or whatever.
Does he help, cause if so then that quest might just be a bit more interesting.
He does indeed. And his attacks are powerful. He can take out a demon in just a few hits even at their level. His level will also be higher than yours, which means the demons will focus on him. The only downside is Danny will run to the back end of the battlefield after a demon dies. You have to run to the back end of the field without leaving the rift boundary and wait for Danny to walk back to you, then you can take on another demon. So get rid of the terror demons first. the despair demons will usually mind their own business in the water. And the reward is of course massive XP!
Favorite Main Quest is Here Lies The Abyss.
Favorite Side Quest is The Abyssal High Dragon.
The one Side Quest I avoid doing is the mount race.
