The hinterlands is the most boring place I can see the pitch meeting: Let's put this boring section of the game first, that'll really get people excited about the game. [drinks]

The DAVe Zone is mostly baseless speculation presented as fact or vitriolic hatred/fear of change, with the occasional splash of useful information reposted from devs or promo stuff.

Update #2.
Played MEA.
Booted up a save from 2021.
I was at level 3.
I'm beginning to notice a pattern...

You are not alone on BSN with that problem. My current PT of MEA (number 27) has been a very stop start affair as I keep stopping to play other games and go back. When I started again last week I was really struggling, then realised I was playing on Insanity. Back to using cover again.

When I started again last week I was really struggling, then realised I was playing on Insanity. Back to using cover again. This has happened to me so many times when trying to get back into games I left on my backlog. I come back and have to relearn everything, including the controls. I remember forgetting how to drive the new vehicle because I'd been away for so long.

I'll get sucked into playing it flat out and then just give up randomly.

The hinterlands is the most boring place I can see the pitch meeting: Let's put this boring section of the game first, that'll really get people excited about the game. [drinks] They were overenthusiastic and front loaded the first area. It has the most quests of all the areas in the game. Mistake.

If you are referring to The Nexus likewise you can leave, those quests are mostly optional. Take it from someone that has played it 26 times.

I've played the game for more than 3000 hours, I know. I was just stating it is a fact that the Hinterlands has the most side quests (45 not including rifts or requisitions) of any other area in the game. For comparison, the Exalted Plains and Emerald Graves have the next highest amount of side quests with 27 apiece--not including rifts or requisitions. As a result of this, a lot of players got burned out on the optional quests, got bored, and many stopped playing. The devs recognized they threw too much at the player in the first area and even had to come out and say, "leave the Hinterlands" when the game was released. I remember it well. Dialogue from Cassandra and Solas was added with one of the patches to encourage players to leave and go to Val Royeaux to carry on the story. Gareth David-Lloyd recorded those lines over the telephone.
