Best/Worst sidequest

Where the Druffalo Roam was a tedious snail pace. Why didn't Lace Harding volunteer to round up those "doggies"?

Best: Dragon Hunting.
The Emprise Du Lion and Red Templar Hunting.
The Tomb of Fayriel.
The taking of the forts in the Exalted Plains.
But by far and away the best side quest in the entire game is the Knight's Tomb.

Worse: The Golden Halla.
Shard Hunting.
Once was enough.

I think the one for Druffy might be simultaneously the best and worst XD.

Its sooooooo slow even doing that.

Worst: The combined quests for Frederic just because of the backtrack

Best: "Before the Dawn" and "Under Her Skin" because how they have consequences on the main quests.

You'd think Bio would someday figure out that people hate backtracking.

I'll have to think about the best.

The worst, anything that deals with the Fallow Mire.
Anything that deals with me waiting for "X" to play catch up with my team, like Where Druffalo Roam and the Golden Halla.

Druffaloe and Golden Halla were my least fav. I liked the Samson side quest progresion and Cassandra's.

That halla was even worse than druffalo. Druffalo was moving slowly but at least it moved where you told it to. Halla just haphazardly runs around for the purpose of ticking you off. It feels like if you spend enough years bugging halla, it will randomly venture home. Both of them would be funner quests in Inky made BBQ.

As for best, it's impossible to pick. A lot of really good and very different ones.

And guaranteed you will run into a pack of wolves that will attack said halla and turn it hostile before you get it back to the Dalish camp. And then you have to save and reload (or just reload) in the hopes that it will set it back to normal. *sigh* And it always seems like my elves have a harder time getting the damn thing to camp. Playing a non-elf? It just runs right to camp. Playing an elf? It runs all over the area for 20 minutes before running to camp. This probably qualifies as my least favorite quest.

My favorites would be Promise of Destruction, Red Water, The Knight's Tomb, Still Waters, and all of the quests in the Emerald Graves (especially Chateau d'Onterre) and Emprise de Lion.

Have to agree that the Golden Halla and Druffalo ones are the worst. I don't bother with Druffy. I think I did it once just to do it, but I do try to do the Halla one. I just did it a few days ago and had the Packmaster amulet on so wolves wouldn't attack, but somehow it turned hostile and my party members started attacking it. I kept trying to make them disengage or get far away from it so it would reset and not be hostile. I think I did manage to get away before somebody killed it and when I returned to the area it was at the camp.

I used to hate Chateau d'Onterre and I ignored it for most playthroughs but now I like it. I started to be a completionist and knew I had to go there to get 2 mosaic tiles. The first time I did it, I remembered feeling frustrated trying to find all the clues and those stupid undead slowing me down everywhere and vowed to never do it again. But I started doing it again,I know where all the things are so it takes much less time to do than before.

I like the astrariums and shards. I remember never bothering to get all the shards before but the bonuses and gear you get from them make a difference when you play on higher difficulties, especially handy for dragon fights. And I like to build up as much cold resistance as possible when I do Frostback Basin. Those Hakkonites can one shot you with a cold blast.
