Ok some questions:
1. Im in Hinterland right now. After 2 hr in this region, so many quests!!!! How to proceed? It feels like a burden to me. More scary than my memories of schooldays where I used to have incomplete work in all subjects in Homework notebook.
2. During the council meeting on war table, I am able to see only 2 regions on the map, left one and right one. Are there only these 2 regions in game and many sub regions in each?
3. At this point of time, what should I focus more? Im playing a human female archer on hard difficulty. Should i finish side quest first? I am not really interested in go-fetch-that-item kinda side quests.
4. Also, when I selected a quest on war table, a timer was started. Till then I wasnt able to proceed. So in the meanwhile I traveled to Hinterland and havent gone back since. What did I do wrong?
1. Prioritize these. Closing Fade Rifts, Holding Hinterlands, Convincing Dennet of Horses for Inquistion along with the Horse-master Quest, In the elements, Strange Bedfellows, Unlocking Redcliff and lastly Killing Ferleden Forstback.
2. The Two regions Orlais and Ferelden are the Two major regions in Thedas, being the Herald you have the authority of all actions and decisions, plans and administrations on these two. These two regions have plot points, activities, inquisitions, wars and quests depending on your decisions and priorities. Main quests are also to be found in due course of time aligned with your progress.
3. Your Focus being an archer would be more on survival, strategy and laying out your archery skills in the path of artificer. You should spend major points in Archery skill tree, while spending one or two key points in Stealth and in Traps section to have at least cloaking and poison weapons skill handy in combat.
4. There are three liaisons at your disposal in the war front, they are specialized in three areas such as Cullen for acting with Force and the army, Josephine, specialized in solutions and acquirement by using her extensive contacts, and Lelliana using covert ops tactics and spies. Whenever you choose an operation in War room, you can choose between threes three to complete it for you, meaning Operations can be done without your direct involvement and presence, still being able to complete the quest and gain rewards.
Also these operations are high valued since they unlock new areas, which you can promptly travel to and chase quests on your own with party...earn resources from an already unlocked area, complete story and major companion side quests parallel to your progression...and many more.
You can do many at tandem, each operation requires an agent, an action, and power points, which , once started with appropriate agent, will take a certain amount of time to complete, e.g. unlocking new areas are instant, solving a hair to throne conflict in some district in Orlais can take 20 minutes of in-game time. You can use this time to do other quests in an area which you have unlocked and and traveled to, or simply save and quit and the next time you start the game, the timer will have progressed.
