Hiya. 360 player here.

I have seven different characters of varying levels. One has completed the main quest, one has started it, and the other five haven't touched it. My question is this: has it officially been stated by Beth anywhere as to whether or not the main quest needs to even be started, let alone completing it? Has there been any sort of recommended level requirement?

As luck would have it, I have no work or school between now and the end of tomorrow. If I *have* to, I'll do some adjusting with certain characters tonight to make them DLC-viable, and give me more options. The one character that's completed the MQ is kind of retired, and I'd rather not play her if I don't have to.

I'm not trolling for leaks or spoilers. If any of the info I'm looking for hasn't been officially stated somewhere, disregard. I haven't found it, but maybe I just missed it somewhere....

I have read in one of the leaks that you dont have to complete main storyline,but Dragonborn will have different lines if you did. Not quite sure if you have to start it.
