To break it down, youll want to knock out Last Rites and Easy Riders first since they teach you the basics. Once you get to Trosky and finish Fortuna, thats when things really open up - might be worth spending some time with Captain Bernard to get your combat skills sorted, trust me itll help later.

Wedding Crashers is where the game really starts letting you explore, and theres some cool stuff with the blacksmiths and millers you can check out. Just a heads up though, For Victory is one of those quests that changes things up in Trosky so you probably want to wrap up anything interesting there first, especially stuff with Hans Capon and those unique armor pieces in Florians Room.

When you make it to Kuttenberg with The Sword and the Quill, youve got this whole new area to explore with silver mines and monastery stuff. Speaking from experience, you definitely want to save before Oratores since it's another one of those story-changing moments. Maybe interesting - some of those choices in the Semine estate stuff can come back around later, so might want to keep a backup save there too. The interrogation bits in Necessary Evil and siege prep in The Storm are also good spots to make extra saves, just in case you want to try different approaches.
