I'm wondering what would happen if I level a character and as I did I completed all the starter areas, the rotated and completed all the factions main story lines as I level to 50. Would I then hit level 50 complete cold harbour and immediately complete gold and silver? Would I throw the game for a loop?

    Starting from strosmkai from 0, I reached cp160 in alik'r.
    Hadn't even done a single quest from any other faction.
    But yes I had completed coldharbor as well. Won't recommend entering coldharbor until you finish bankorai. For lorefriendly reasons

    Unless you skip all zone quests and only do the main faction quests, there is no way you'll only be level 50 after completing all three. XD The content of one faction pretty much takes you 1-50 all by itself.

    While they have stated it is an option to do the quests in any order (including all three factions before end-game, completing Cadwell's retroactively), I'd be careful. Doing quests out of order can lead to the occasional bug. It wouldn't so much throw the game for a loop as open up a few cracks you might fall into. At least that's been my rather interesting experience since One Tamriel opened up the map.

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "If circumstances try to drive me there, maybe. Right now, it just sounds like a lot of sand in my boots."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "The simple thought of it dries my scales. I ventured into Elsweyr long ago, but I may be getting too old to make the journey again."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "This one looks forward to seeing her home sands again. Perhaps she will make her home village many fish sticks!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "I could do much with a good dragon hide."
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "I see little need to muck about some ancient tomb. Too much work to do elsewhere. No, that was not an intentional pun."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton thief: "Stealing from the Ban Daar is always a fun challenge. Sometimes, they steal their stuff back!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "While I try to stay at Swum-Many-Waters' side, the whispers of an undead threat worry me."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "Perhaps. The lady Mephala spins many webs, and I can see there being benefit in sending me into the path of an undead invasion."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hear there will be dragons. I would be a disappointment to my Nord heritage if I did not try to slay them."
    Madam Argentia, dunmer aristocrat: "I have little desire to waltz across the desert for weeks at a time. It's terrible for the complexion."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'm kinda busy up in Wrothgar, sorry!"
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "The Khajiit usually throw some nice contracts my way. I'm sure Jimila will have something that will take me there."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one is happy to check back on her homeland after grand adventures drew her away! Let the kittens call her -dra instead of -daro now!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "My lady Meridia does detest the undead. I may need to sneak out on my duties on Artaeum to address it."

    Well, speaking from my own personal experience on one of my characters....

    I completed Main AD story line, then did all 3 alliances starting island/zones, then did Coldharbor. After that, I picked up Caldwell's Silver, completed the EP Story line... and DID NOT get completion credit for Silver! I have sent a ticket to ZoS but that was 3 weeks ago and still have not gotten any response. So it looks like a bad idea to do things out of order.

    So I have an AD character at level 13 and so far I have only completed quests in Stonefalls but I plan to go back and do one starting area, then the next, then the third. From there I will finish Stonefalls, then probably Auridon, the Glenumbra, and back to Deshaan, and so on mostly doing the main quests but will do some side quests here and there, maybe some public dungeons, with a smattering of BWB thrown in. At least this is my plan, but if there will be complications I might need to alter the plan to avoid issues.

    Can we get word from someone at ZOS if they are aware of this and if they plan to make this possible?

    If you're doing the content for the other alliances before completing the main story, is there then any reason to do Cadwells? I can't see the point, personally. If it's from a completionist point of view then it's probably better to do everything in the intended order, similarly if it's for reward/achievement reasons.

    Did you complete the main story and all of coldharbor? If not that's why u didn't get credit as it's a requirement. You'd get credit once doing so for all the items done if the Caldwell quest log is fulfilled.

    It's not that I did but I plan to, as mentioned above someone else has done something similar and upon completing cold harbour they did not get credit for silver completion.

    I was wondering if, because of one Tamriel I can do any content in any order, can I not quest through all three factions main stories and basically level and grind out silver and gold at the same time. I have not done this yet I'm just wondering if it is possible, or if it was intended to be possible.

    You can do any order but there's no benefit to grinding silver or gold compared to any other place.

    Everything is the same level. Grind anywhere or anything.

    Some ppl chose to grind the starter areas while other chose this spot or another as well as just questing.

    Or level to 50 in the starting prison map and then just do all of the rest of Tamriel while leveling your CP ranks ...
