In my opinion you will be underleveled in Act 2 if you skip the creche/cloister Rosemorn. Does not count in Tactician (and of course not in Easy/Normal) but in Honour mode it does. There are two fights a bit difficult in Rosemorn, but you get precious xp and some good items. I also question myself, why would you want to avoid content in a game you play because of the content? There is nothing in Act 2 which will be not there if you stayed in Act 1 a bit longer.
well, because not taking a choice *is* a choice and it should lead to more content. for example if you explored everything and found auntie ethel and decided to kill her, im assuming it would lead to a different outcome rather than not having ever met her.
assuming she has a part in other acts. but anyway, you get the example. also i don't wanna burn through all the content in one single playthrough.
"you can't see all the content in one playthrough" yes you can. you might not see all the outcomes, but you can see all the content. say, i go to the grove. and decide to help the tieflings. im not gonna see the content related to finishing the rite of thorns, but on another playthrough, i will already know that the content is there. there's not gonna be any novelty of exploring etc... basically i will see the same content but just take another choice instead. that's my logic anyway.
