![Through the Dragon Age (1) Through the Dragon Age (1)](https://i0.wp.com/assets.tumblr.com/images/anonymous_avatar_48.gif)
Anonymous quipped: i've been meaning to ask someone, and you know a lot about dragon age so.. if you were to do a rly fast playthrough of da:i, which quests would you do? just the main ones? or main + side quests that give war table missions? (i may or may not also use this info for future PTs because that is a Long Game) i hope my question makes sense, and thank you for your time! :>
Alright, so let’s do this. I’m going to list Main and War Tables that I’d do in a run, though you don’t have to follow it to a‘T’. For instance, you might not like the Templars and so don’t want to side with them. I simply recommend the quest as it shortens a later boss battle. Or maybe you don’t care about getting a particular companion? Skipping that quest would take out quite a bit of optional content too, but I’m assuming you want to get the most out of the game without playing through Allof it.
Beneath the Read More are more optional quests that can be used to enhance the story and gain Power; however, you can just seal Rifts and buy Power (once far enough in Skyhold) to continue through the story and skip those quests as well. I recommend that once you get the Power merchant in Skyhold, play Descent (which has a decent gold gain) and use the acquired gold to buy power as needed.
Main Quests
- The Wrath of Heaven
- The Threat Remains
- Champions of the Just (side with the templars)
- In Your Heart Shall Burn
- From the Ashes
- Here Lies the Abyss
- Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts
- What Pride Had Wrought, if you sided with the Templars you can avoid the final boss battle through dialogue
- The Final Piece
- Doom Upon All the World
War Table Missions
I would complete at least all race missions, so as Lavellan complete the Save Clan Lavellan line or The Carta Gets A Cut line for Cadash, etc. As well as Specialization missions, like Revere for Necromancer, Make for Aritificer, etc. If you make any optional Judgments (i.e. anything besides Florianne) be sure to follow up on thost on the War Table as well.

tagged as: long post Walkthrough I tried? But honestly I'd have to play through a super fast playthrough to say exactly how to do it with how and where to get the easier power needed but right now I'm trying to play harder/higher level playthroughs and so it takes everything I can to level enough Anon ageofdragon responds
