When is the best time to complete the DAI DLC?

In regards to the three DLC packs, they don’t have any level requirements. That being said, there is still a preferred way of completing these quests. While you can play Jaws of Hakkon and The Descent really in any order, you should definitely save Trespasser till the end, since it’s known to be the final thing you complete. Just make sure you’re at least level 20, as this DLC can be a pain to finish under-leveled.
