Hey, put a SPOILER at the top of a thread like this. I'll do this one, but you really need to do the others for yourself.

So do you mean the chapter where you have to choose whom to pay for help in getting to Imoen? Because if so, there are a series of linear quests from one of two sides, the thieves and the vampires. Meanwhile, there are many inessential quests that first show up in chapter 2 but which you can certainly do in chapter 3, ranging from the circus to various party NPCs.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

Thanks for your reply and advice.
I have done all chap 2 quests, including the ones you mentioned.
So after dealing with Jaheira`s hearing, I will re-supply and head towards chapte3 4.

You can do side quests in any chapter. So have you done Umer Hills, Windspear Hills, and Trademeet? If you have TOB, have you done Watchers Keep? If you wander around, you can find small fights and stuff to do, but they can be done anytime. I don't even pay attention to which chapter I'm in.

Yes, all those above but Watchers Keep. How do I start Watchers Keep?

I have now repealed an invasion on my stronghold (and collected 60,000 Xps :) ).
I am touring all the districts and out of city places to get as much armor and weapons as possible for next chapter. Meanwhile trying to figure out where to begin Kangaxxx quest.

To start Watchers Keep, you just have to go there, but make sure you are high level. Some of the fights can be tough, so go to the Keep late in SOA.

I dont find this place on the world map. I dont have ToB installed, is this the reason?
Normally someone has to point a location on the map so I go there, is it not so?

Watchers Keep is only available if you have TOB installed. But it is the one part of TOB that can be played in SOA or TOB. I like to play it as one of the last things I do in SOA.

But yeah, you'll have to install TOB to play it.
