Dragon Age: **** OF HINTERLAND

@azure

His post was in reply to many who were saying the game was boring and the quests were stale and the characters were uninteresting, yet they have never been out of the Hinterlands.

Play the game how you want BUT he makes a good point -- if you are finding the game boring and you have never been out of the Hinterlands, then get out of the Hinterlands. I didn't even know you could get out of the Hinterlands. I didn't even know you were
SUPPOSED to get out of the Hinterlands to continue the story. I was in the Hinterlands for the longest time doing quests and waiting for something to happen, unknown to the fact that I had to leave in order for that to happen. So I feel like his post is pretty
helpful to some who don't know any better.

I don't mind the Hinterlands, and I want to help that farmer!

I noticed this too and it is true, it is better to hop out now and again. I do like to fully explore the first area as well though. But if you leave it gives you a few more things to do in the Hinterlands as well.

Depending on your difficulty level you can also pick up a bit of non combat XP too to make some of the enemies in the Hinterlands a little easier.

I stayed in the Hinterlands for a good bit before moving on in the story. I think you needed 15 power to make a choice and I got like 25 before finally leaving. And now I will go back and close some Rifts.

What if I decide to remain in the Hinterlands and never venture outward? Isn't that what some people do in real life? They are born into a small town and are afraid of the big bad world beyond the confines of their predictable bubble of comfort?
