So, I am getting ready to start a new character and I want to know what are some of your strategies for timing the various quests.

For example:

When do you start the Civil War quests - do you do it early in your game play, or late?

How much of the Main Quest do you do before getting into the Civil War?

Do you rush through the various faction quests, or do you spread them out and work on other quests simultaneously?

What quests do you do first and which ones do you wait until later in the game to engage in?


I think I want to put off getting into the main quest until after I have done some civil war quests, but how far can I go before it problem for me completing the main quest?

So, I am interested in how you all pace out your questing and if your reasons for how you pace are strategic or for your own roleplaying purposes.

For this time around, I think that I want to start with as much of the civil war as I can before getting into the main quest. I will probably start Dawnguard once it becomes available at level 10. I also want to have this character go through the College of Winerhold, but am not sure when e best time to start that quest line should be. I will wait until late in the game (level 30+) before getting into Dragonborn.

Well, what do you guys do to pace out your questing?
