IMPORTANT:This chronology is not for comfortable first playthrough or for player's traveling optimization. The narrative was not the most important thing when devs assigned levels to quests, it seems. I recommend trying it for your first NG+ or any subsequent one, if you will still have any interest in the game or this list. After the list, there are notes on some questionable or not-so-obvious decisions of this list. Read them if you raise a question, first. It is important to note that this is not the "Chronology the way writers and directors intended it to be", because I tried to piece things together in my interpretation of the narrative, plus "the way it was originally intended to be" does not always make sense gameplay-wise. Example - Cat's Cradle.
