These DLCs are supposed to scale to the level of your party. Do they scale when you first visit them or do they scale each time? That is if you want an easy time should you do an initial visit at a low level and then come back for a complete exploration when you are at a higher level?

They scale each time? Oh, dear. I was going to do Jaws of Hakkon and The Descent near the end, and I'm already at level 25. That means level 25 enemies too. Oops!  |

JoH is very hard, i advise only after the main game before trespasser. It also fits storywise as another adventure of the inquisition before the trespasser events.

Note: The Descent starts at Level 12. I think Jaws of Hakkon starts at Level 20.

Only Descent scales down. JoH does not scale down, it's hard all the time.
You can force both to scale up if you enable the Even Ground trial.

Yeah, I totally got trashed when I initially tried JoH at lvl 18. Lesson learned.

He has comments like the other companions and, imo, the best troll moment ever.

In my first run through I did Jaws just before the end game, then I did Trespasser. I was level 24 or 25 at the time and it was scaled accordingly. I just wondered if going there at a lower level would lock that lower level in. But I guess not.

The amount of Solas content is so small that it is hardly worth doing it early just to get those small amounts of dialogue. In fact is really noticeable in the Descent how little he does have to say on the subject, considering how he must have been about the only person who would already have known about titans. Corypheus is already too easy if you do all the content in the main game. If you do the DLC first as well, then he is really easy. Then you defeat him so quickly you miss out on things that he says during the battle.
I felt the JoH definitely belongs after the main game and it made little sense why you would be heading off down there while Corypheus was still on the loose.
