Im playing a Nord Dragonborn. So far I have done the Companions & the MQ. I'm wondering your opinions on what order I should do my questlines.

Here are the major questlines I plan on doing (in no particular order, mind you):

Civil War

Dawnguard

Lost To the Ages

Dragonborn

Missing In Action

Destroy the Dark Brotherhood

Forsworn Conspiracy

A Taste of Death

The quest to help the Orcs at Largasbur, I forget it's name...

I dont plan on joining the other 3 factions.

Basically, I'm just asking what order of doing these quest makes the most sense to you? Now, I AM currently in the middle of the Civil War...but I feel like I don't want to finish it yet. I like the atmosphere of still having the war going on (and we all know pretty much every NPC acts like it's still going on, even after you finish it), however, I'm doing some moderate RP'ing, and I'm not sure it would make sense reastically to just randomly, you know...stop helping the war effort. But I'm open to any opinions, and input is very much appreciated.

Dawnguard > (Lost to the Ages: Choice One) > Dragonborn > Missing In Action > Civil War > (Lost to the Ages: Choice Two) > Forsworn Conspiracy > Destroy the Dark Brotherhood > A Taste of Death > The Cursed Tribe

I tried to make them segue into each other with an organic feeling. The immediate dangers will be dealt with first. -To be honest, I'd do the first choice of "Lost to the Ages", but if you think it doesn't connect to your goals well, ignore it for a while.- Eventually, your character recedes from the hype and starts "Missing in Action" which drops him back into the flames of the Civil War. The Forsworn conspiracy has ties to the Civil War, so that's a good cool-down after all the tumult. Then your story transitions from these noble quests to the darker side of Skyrim after witnessing the pain of the forsworn, and you vow to destroy the evil Dark Brotherhood. "A Taste of Death" and "The Cursed Tribe" should conclude your business with the macabre rather well.

That's just how I would do them. Maybe after all these main courses you could have some dessert with a few lighter and happier quests.

I like this idea. I've been looking for an excuse to stop doing the civil war (for the time being) and i think I may have found it. Maybe my Nord has grown sick of fighting his own countrymen, and has gone incognito for a while? Or maybe he realizes the increasing number of vampire attacks in Whiterun? Hmm. I'll have to decide later. Either way, yes, I had a feeling Dawnguard would be the most sensible first pick (since it's the next major questline, after all). Thanks for the answer friend.

No problem.

The individual quests such as Missing in Action should be done between a questline and another. After all, it makes more sense that any character would give priority to the bigger events.

On that line of thought, Dragonborn and Dawnguard should be done before the civil war, because those involve major threats. I don't think it really matters which of those two you'll do first.

Then, you do the civil war while complete any of those individual quests on the side.
