Hello All,
So i've been chunking through this game - one thing I love about it is its non-linear nature, and the freedom to explore the world at large. However, the drawback to this double-edge sword is that i'm not quite sure when i should do certain quests, visit certain areas, etc. I'm not sure that it matters in most cases, though i'm afraid of breaking quests by doing something/visiting places before i should be doing so.
With the game i'm playing now, i'm a level 29 female warrior/archer, and just entered Stormfist castle (i think i may have waited a little two long for it)
Here’s the general progression of my game with places I’ve visited and thing I’ve done
Aleroth (obviously!)
Barrack’s quests for Mitox – hunting orcs
Archer’s guild
Farmlands – did all the quests
Cursed Abbey
Dwarven Village – didn’t get any quests there
Ars Magiana – did all the quests
Poor section
Verdistis – only a couple of things completed
Dark Forest – did a chunk of this section, but not everything – haven’t entered elven village or dwarf halls, haven’t dealt with war yet
Stormfist Castle – just entered b/c i had heard that i should wait to go into it, but i wasn't sure how long that, and to what level my pc, should be
Obviously, this doesn’t include the huge amount of wandering that I’ve done, and the number of side-quests completed. And as can be seen, some parts seem to me as out of order, e.g., I finally dealt with the poor section later then I probably should have, and it seemed to take me forever to finally get to the market in Ars Magiana
Anyway, the reason for this post is to see how other people go about running through the game… I’m planning to start over with a melee character, a Tank if you will, and wanted to refine my progression through the quests/places. I am specifically concerned with the major points in the dark forest, and whether things there need to be handled prior to or after entering stormfist castle
And feedback would be really cool
Thanks
