Chronology of Quests?

[Morrydwen]

Hello, I am currently playing through Deadfire for the very first time and liking it very much.

I have done Port Maje + Fort Deadlight + Dunnage + most quests in Neketaka + Oswald quest.

Both the Vailian and Royal Deadfire company requested me to go to Poko Kohara through Tikiwara. I am currently level 10 but when I leave Tikiwara on foot I am faced with red skulled enemies, too high for my level which tells me I need to priorize other quests first. Also I am feeling the conclusions of this quest will make me to choose a faction as both Royal Deadfire company, Valian company and Huana want me to do different things in Poko Kohara.

 

Which chronology should I take?

I still have the following quests in Neketaka:

-> Robbing the Archmage's Vault

-> The Cornett's Call in OLD CITY (I have not yet visited Old City as people told me to wait with it)

-> Hanging Sepulchers in Sacred Stairs (2 quests: Find Eulogy of Yseyr and locate the tomb of yseyr). I visited the place but also am faced with red-skulled enemies. So this needs to wait.

Sayuka

-> Find Remaro for Serafen.

Mutari O Kozi

-> Investigate the island for the Huana faction.

Hasongo 

-> Advancing the main quest (which seems to me the most logical thing to do) + Eder's questline

 

 

Also can you safely explore the archipelagos or is it better to visit places when the people offering bounties tell you to go there. Will you visit all the places if you do all the bounties?

Are there mid-level places I could and should visit but are not part of a questchain?

 

I also got Beast of Winter expansion but I guess I better wait with that until the end.

 

P.S.: At this point I consider this game better than BG I, IWD I and IWD II. And at least on par with BG II. The fact you don't need to waste time casting healing spells and resting all the time between battles is a major plus compared to the old infinity engine games. It looks Deadfire uses a system similar to Dragon Age Origins which really helps with the flow of the game.

Hi!

You can go to Remaro asap if you wish. Or wait for it until it's on the way - for convenience. There is no diff. fighting involved (if you don't want to) and it's done very quickly.

My personal order would be to do Arkemyr's vault (very easy if you use a certain non-violent way, involves disguise), then Cornet's Call (imo it's easier than Hanging Sepulchres), then Sepulchres.

Then Motare O Kozi or Poko Kohara.

As long as you can win red skulls are no problem though. For example a certain Lagufaeth dude on Tikawara is labeled as high level - but since he's all alone it's actually not really a difficult fight.

Thanks for feedback, Boeroer!

Did you activate level scaling? It can help you if you choose scale all.

I actually need to check that. Cant remember. Does level scaling affect experience gain?

ı dont think its effect exp but not sure.

If I do get into trouble, later on, I will try to change the scaling option (if it is still possible without story restart).

Thanks for suggesting, Okkes.
