I'm new to the game and I've read on here and other sites about certain quests/maps being suitable for players of a certain level.
Is this just an approx ?
Reason I ask is that I've just been given the God of Schemes quest which I believe is the final quest in the main story line and when I've looked online most reviews say that it will be available for people who are between levels 45/50,is this just a recommendation because I'm only at level 28 at the moment.
Thanks in advance.

    Those reviews and guides were likely written before One Tamriel was implemented earlier this year. Before that, zones were leveled in much the same way you see in most MMOs or RPGs... where monsters were set at a certain range in each area, and were meant to be killed when you were around their level. Enter the zone too low, and you got your butt kicked. Enter the zone too high, and you'd faceroll it.

    Now, One Tamriel is out and instead of leveled zones, all the content is leveled to you, so you don't have to worry about running into content that is too high level for you to manage.

    Though... it is worth noting that higher levels means better gear, and Molag Bal IS the big bad of the game. So it's not a bad idea to wait until you're a bit higher. Originally, he was meant for a character at level cap, and a lot of his stats, like his damage, will still function under that assumption. But hey, if you want to try it now, why not?

    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    (Signature idea shamelessly stolen from Abeille.)

    Cheers for the explanation @BlackSparrow
    Everything's a lot clearer now.
    As for facing Molag Bal..........
    I think I'll leave it for now and face him later once I've levelled my character up more.
