Dragon Age: Inquisition Minimum Level for Zones Guide

Dragon Age: Inquisition isn’t like Skyrim in the sense that the game doesn’t automatically level the monsters you fight against or keep them at parity with the player’s party. Instead, every zone in the game has monsters that range between certain levels. Some, but not all enemies scale to your level. 

In other words, it’s a bad idea for a low level player to go to certain locations early in the game, as you’ll be massively underleveled for the area and face a stiff, perhaps even impossible challenge. 

With that in mind, members of the Dragon Age community on reddit have compiled a minimum level range guide to ease players into the game.
