Recommended Progression for Warrior Difficulty
Generally try to reach cities ASAP, as they provide training, which greatly improves your party's survivability. Dangerous Caves can generally be dealt with safely after level 20.
Always try to complete all possible quests before moving on to the next point.
Sorpigal, Spider Lair (of course). Quests: Looking for Work, Spiders in the Well, Smuggler's Cove.
Tirya Bay, Shadow Woods-east and Ashen Hills, except the Spectres in front of Cursed Ruins and both Dangerous Caves. If playing with the Mod, you can also visit Seahaven, but don't venture anywhere else. Quest: Flowers for Fallen Heroes.
Den of Thieves (but don't collect the Mysterious Book to keep Rosalie for Lighthouse). Quest: The Highwaymen.
Lighthouse (generally Mamushi and even Lighthouse level 3 are much harder than the whole Den of Thieves). Now you have to collect the Mysterious Book from DoT to progress further. Quest: Darkness in the Lighthouse.
Castle Portmeyron (if your party lacks Freemage, return with Spike hireling or enough Whispering Shadow scrolls to explore hidden areas; remember this for every dungeon until you get Dark Blessing). Quest: The Rocky Road to Portmeyron.
Elemental Forge, get Earth Blessing (but avoid Air and Light Elementals lurking at the end of long corridors). Quest: Elemental Disturbance.
Seahaven (up to now it was pretty much linear, but now there are many choices). Quests: none.
Navea Plains and Yon-Chall Forest (and The Eye-north), except the Poacher's camp area with Spike, and the Dangerous Cave. Quests: Haart has its Reasons, Morgan's Eyes and Ears, The Search for Kilburn, Peninsula Incognita.
Minho Marshes (only 2 fights here, but very long and tough, expect to spend a lot of potions, but at least the enemies here don't heal). Quests: none.
Now is the hardest decision. All accessible areas can be deadly. Your best bet probably is:
Lost City, except level 3. From level 2 go directly to level 4, and on both levels, skip the areas near stairs to level 3. Get the Shard of Water from level 4. Quests: The Hunt for Montbard, The Last Wish.
Water Blessing (getting it this early is mainly for convenience, so you can freely explore The Crag and Karthal Slums, and get the GM Arcane Discipline quest – but do not yet venture to difficult areas such as Dubra Scrubland, Vantyr Range, Wyslin Jungle, Irisus/Savage Seas or Shipwrecks; water walking also opens The Eye-south and Tower of Enigma). Quests: none.
Tower of Enigma (exit the Elemental Forge level 2 to The Eye-south and proceed towards Tower of Enigma without any fights; then just return back the way you came). Quests: none.
The Crag (take the shortest route through Halloth Grove (no fights) and Desolate Wilds (2 fights)). Quests: Pirate Truce, GM Water Magic.
Desolate Wilds (but skip the GM Warfare quest, optionally also skip the Dangerous Cave, though it should be doable by now). Quests: Fallen Star, GM Arcane Discipline (start).
Karthal Sewers and Falagar's Mansion (take the shortest route from Desolate Wilds through the south of Navea Delta, fighting only single Elite Giant Spider there; you get Shard of Light from Falagar's Mansion (you can get the Light Blessing now, but it's unnecessary, as you will get it later together with all the other Blessings)). Quests: Morgan's Informant (completed by entering Karthal Harbor), Lost Lambs.
Karthal Harbor and Slums (you may delay transferring Kaspar to The Crag until you deal with Falagar later, since you can't complete The Curse now anyway, so you avoid additional cost and backtracking). Quests: Ashes to Ashes, The Sewer Key, Promotion to Druid Elder. (with Mod: Lost in Glory)
After exploring Karthal, dealing with all the quests and trainings, your party generally becomes much stronger, so from now on the risk of death is low. The order is not so important anymore – you should be able to deal with almost anything from now on.
Navea Delta (finally!), Shadow Woods-west including MC and DC, Halloth Grove. Quests: The Naga Tea (if playing with the Mod, you can now kill the Shadow Dragon in Ashen Hills' DC and finish Fantastic Golems).
Vantyr Range-west: hire Vilma (better to have her before you loot the chest in the north). Quests: none.
Bodyguard Vilma improves party's overall survivability a lot, meaning the rest of the game is not that challenging anymore – except the part in which you don't have her: Fort Laegaire.
All available Dangerous Caves (from now on you can tackle Dangerous Caves as you come by them), Poacher's camp (if no Freemage, hire Spike, backtrack to dungeons for hidden areas), GM Warfare quest. Quests: Promotion to Warden, GM Warfare.
Seas and Shipwrecks: Tirya Bay Shipwreck, Dubra Scrubland and Shipwreck (barrels), Irisus Sea and Shipwreck, Savage Sea and Shipwreck (Sunhind). Quests: none.
Skull Rock (you get 4 important quest items here: Blackfang's chest for Partners in Crime, San Tenga Mugen for Sword of the Bounty Hunter, Yumiko's bow for GM Bow, and Shard of Air for Forge of Heroes). Quests: Sword of the Bounty Hunter, GM Bow, Partners in Crime, The Great Escape.
Karthal Jail (Shard of Darkness) & HQ, and rest of the Sewers. You will need to fire Vilma briefly to make room for Falagar. Then use the free hireling spot to transfer Kaspar for The Curse. You can also use it to buy rare elixirs from Nahla and Rabican (with Mod) – you need to have at least 8100 / 41200 gold respectively. Then re-hire Vilma. Quests: Liberation, Promotion to Archmage.
Lost City level 3 (Shard of Fire), including stair areas on levels 2 and 4. Quest: The Curse.
All the remaining Blessings (Light, Air, Fire, Dark). Don't forget to loot the chest and barrel on Elemental Forge level 4. Quest: Forge of Heroes.
Wyslin Jungle (and Owl Cave), Menthil Coast (you can keep Edwin if you like, but it is not that important as you will need to get rid of him before Battle of Karthal anyway, if you prefer Vilma). Quests: Dunstan, Promotion to Bloodcaller, Promotion to Marauder, GM Sword, Receding Horizons (optional).
Temple of Meow, Vantyr Range. With the map explored, you can get the Obelisks treasure, and the Dragon Shrines relic. Quests: The Cult of Meow, GM Crossbow, Promotion to Shieldguard, Promotion to Pathfinder, The Secret of the Obelisks, Dragon Shrines (untraced). (with Mod: Tears in Darkness)
You are now experienced enough to do the remaining areas up to the ToTT in any order. First tackle areas you need for promotions.
Pao Kai Nest, Temple of Ylath, Sacred Grove, Cursed Ruins, Sudgerd, Fortress of Crows. Quests: Promotion to Warmonger, Promotion to Windsword, Promotion to Blademaster, Promotion to Paladin, Promotion to Runelord, The Curse of Volos, Jasaad's Bestiary.
From now on it is again very linear.
Tomb of a Thousand Terrors, Dunstan's Memory. Complete Receding Horizons now, if you haven't earlier, since you need hireling spot for Crag Hack. Quests: Descent into Terror, Memory Lane, Out of the Darkness.
Battle of Karthal, The Vigil, Ker-Thal. Only now you can finally complete The Forbidden Saga quest. Quests: The Battle of Karthal, Master of Assassins, The Forbidden Saga. (with Mod: Building a Portal)
Limbo, Fort Laegaire (re-hire Vilma afterwards), Summer Palace. Quests: In Limbo, Loose Ends, Escape from Fort Laegaire, Solitary Rose, Distress Signal, Dressing for the Occasion, A Smuggler's Life for me, The Unicorn Plot.
If you haven't died – you should not, following this – congratulations! Quests: everything shall already be completed!
Choices
There aren't many dialog choices, and even the few present mostly don't matter, as the game evolves the same regardless. Still, you might want to know what to choose and what are the consequences, either gameplay-wise or story-wise.
Lost Lambs
By letting them go, you are losing some experience (Luke-100 XP, Kirk-150 XP, Ripley-200 XP) and possibly some items and gold. Story-wise, you shall let go Luke and Kirk, and only kill Ripley. If you let Ripley go, he kills his own mother. The other two manage to redeem themselves somehow, if you let them go.
Haart has its Reasons
Story-wise, you shall not betray Haart to the Inquisition (tell mostly the truth). Gameplay-wise, if you don't hurry with training for GM Sword, it's better to betray him (tell the truth), since GM Sword quest is very easy 400 XP. You get no quest from Carla if Lord Haart is available.
The Curse of Volos
There is no difference whether or not you believe Kasia except her immediate reply, though you should probably believe her.
Battle of Karthal
By answering Salvin "for a little girl", he commits suicide and you lose out an elixir, some items and 250 XP. Other choices lead to battle with him.
Markus Wolf
In The Vigil level 1, you can choose to kill him or just stun him. If you kill him, it is finished, you get no more XP. If you want more story, you shall let him live. In that case, you meet him again in Fort Laegaire level 2. Here you can choose to leave him in his cell or let him join you. By letting him join you, he later almost kills Rosalie and then gets himself killed. Leaving him in the cell is the only way he stays alive, and you don't put Rosalie to danger. Story-wise, this is probably the best choice. Gameplay-wise, these choices don't matter at all.
Loose Ends
It does not matter at all what you tell Adira.

Skill Levels
1 Point: Novice
7 Points: Expert (after training for 500/551 gold)
15 Points: Master (after training for 1500/1651 gold)
25 Points: Grandmaster (after promotion and training for 5000/5501 gold, and possible special quest)
As there are no respawns, you reach maximum level 38 (40 with Mod) at the end of the game and DLC (with +XP hireling). That means you have exactly 37*3 + 4 (starting) = 115 skill points to spare (117 for Humans), of which 2 are fixed. Obviously those spent towards the end have little to no significance, as the game ends. That means you will never be able to "max out" your characters' skills. Just saying :-)

ACIDCAVE MOD
Download
This mod will enhance the gameplay, and you will be able to reach level 40-41 with it. Download it from the acidcave.net site, or use direct link. In short: 4 new quests, 2 new hirelings, all unlocks, many bugfixes. This mod works with only English or Polish languages. WARNING: Stop reading if you want no spoilers.
The biggest change
All locations and promotion quests are available, no matter race or class of party members. For example, you can play with a party of 4 Barbarians and still get into the Temple of Ylath, Sacred Grove or Sudgerd, and complete promotion quests for all other classes. This means you are getting 12x experience just from promotion quests. If you don't agree with this change, then simply ignore promotion quests for classes not in your party.
Since the experience reward for promotion quests is lowered from 1500 to 1000, this change provides 6000 additional experience, plus all the experience bonuses associated with promotions to Shieldguard (Davros-200), Pathfinder (2x Griffin, 3x Elite Air Elemental-260), and Warmonger (Pao Kai-350).
New Quests
This mod offers 4 new quests, providing a total of 6000 additional experience for your party, 12 scrolls, 2 Potency elixirs, and relic Necklace.

Bugfixes
Sword of the Bounty Hunter and Warden Promotion quests have one extra step, as designed by the authors – to report back to the quest givers, Hamato and Monshan, respectively. Although this only makes these quests last a bit longer, you can now read the authors' original dialogs when finishing these quests.
The duplicate book "History of Hammer Fall" in the Vantyr Range (141,93) is replaced by a Fire crystal ward.
The Cyclops' Cave in the Vantyr Range (132,92) has a sign telling that it is locked and to look for Hedwig, the Defender promoter. The sign will not be displayed if on Shieldguard promotion quest.

Relic 1H-magical focus Suncross is no longer more powerful at level 3 than 4.
Particle graphics used with the Dungeon creatures (Dark Elves, Shadow Dragons, Faceless...) display correctly.
