Dragon Age Origins: Lothering and the Imperial Highway Dragon Age: Origins Guide
Last update: 07 June 2024
Description: This first main quest of the game will be activated upon your arrival in [Lothering] (M25, 1). I would recommend that you listen to a conversation which will take place after you've defeated the bandits (near the stairs). Several other quests will soon appear in your journal, but for now focus on spending some time in the city, trading items, exploring the area and completing side quests.
In order to leave [Lothering] you'll have to travel north-west (M25, 13). Be careful, because the exit is being guarded by a large group of monsters and a hurlock alpha will be among them. Move back to a safe distance to encourage only some of the beasts to chase after you. Once it's safe locate Bodahn. You may talk to him, as well with his son Sandal. Notice that you can ask both dwarves for a reward for saving their lives (only if you have a high persuasion skill). This quest will come to an end once you've reached the [Campsite].
