fable2 -> I can't progress, that's the problem.
Bob -> Thanks for the guide, but it just tells me to "do stuff" in hinterlands and the coast, which I already knew.
Zib-> I'll try that.

What are you talking about? there's plenty of story before you close the rift.

If you have done the mage/templar recruitment then it seems unlikely you have finished everything in the Hinterlands and the Storm Coast if you are only level 7. You can get up to level 11 or 12 without leaving the Hinterlands easily enough, assuming you are that masochistic. Anyway, level ratings are for pussies. Just close the breach and be done with it. It isn't very difficult, even on Nightmare.

I'm a mage and closed all the rifts in Hinterlands at lvl 8. I found the one in the forest the hardest, but doable.
What I did was to modify the party behavior into defending the controlled character, attacked the Despair Demon from a distance and then kept freezing or sticky bombing him - was sure that Cassandra was buffed up with armor potion and barrier from the mage.
When 2nd wave comes, there's 2 Despair Demons, I hid in the left alcove until health was back up and went for round 2.
Do you guys receive the same requisition twice or even 3rd time? I find that a bit frustrating.
Did all Fallow Mire and Storm Coast ( until the locked cave entrance for the red lyrium - i think this opens later in the plot ), almost lvl 11, might continue with the story to Val Royeaux.
What level should I have to defeat the Hinterlands dragon?

Requisitions (apart from a few special quest related ones) are pretty much useless unless you're just trying to finish the story path asap and need power for that. Otherwise you'll generally end up with more power than you can use just from closing rifts and other activities. So you can safely avoid most requisitions (most players tend to do this) unless starved for power, they just soak up resources.
A popular way to tackle the difficult Hinterlands rift is to lead Druffy the unkillable druffalo close to it, he makes for a pretty good ally.
As for the Hinterlands Frostback, I've found being level 10-11 makes for a challenging first-time kill without being unfairly difficult, but it's doable before that too.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

The requisitions are infinite. If you keep completing them, you'll just get more. There are only a small pool available, so you'll get the same ones over and over.

They are useful/necessary right at the start if you want to quickly unlock Val Royeaux, Storm Coast, Fallow Mire, and the mage/templar mission without grinding a lot of side-quests, but once you have gotten that far you should pretty much have plenty of power available, just through progressing the game.

I can't seem to get engrossed in this game, it's becoming tedious.. Close rifts, collect resources for weaponry, find shards and repeat.
Do I have to collect the shards and close the rifts?

No, both of them are optional
And regarding farming resources:
I did those missions on the war table to collect them and then just increased the system time via hotkey so they get finished instantly
If interested, here is the AutoHotkey script:
 Spoiler: | ;-------------------
; Increase System-Time
;-------------------
F7::
TimeNow =
HourstoAdd = 1
Result += %HourstoAdd%,Hours
FormatTime,Out,%Result%,time
RunWait, %ComSpec% /c Time %Out%,,Hide
return
;-------------------
; Decrease System-Time
;-------------------
F6::
TimeNow =
HourstoSubtract = -1
Result += %HourstoSubtract%,Hours
FormatTime,Out,%Result%,time
RunWait, %ComSpec% /c Time %Out%,,Hide
return |

Rifts yes, since they give you power with which you advance the story. Shards no, i think the reward is some elemental resistance when you open a temple with them. I collected 6 to open the temple, then saw three doors that each need more shards and just said fuck it.

I did that too but the amount of resources you get is laughably small.

Meaningless side quests are bricks RPGs are built of and tedious grinding is the mortar that holds them together.

The shard temple gives you elemental resistance and at the end an purple elemental resistance belt.
Which while pretty sweet totally worthless really. Rather grind for minerals and schematics.

Yeah im 25 hours in in this game, i have some remaining areas, like hissing wastes and emprise do lion, done most of the others and im pretty burned out, the fact that you can play this game, grind quests for like 10 hours and not get a single cutscene plot related is worrying at best, i dont feel compeled at all to finish this game, and its sad cause i really like it, its a love hate relatioship for sure..
Graphics are good, the spells are cool, the combat is simple but fun and effective, but its becoming like a job to go do the same thing over and over, and i bet this game ends in like a split second once you reach the climax..story wise.
It does a lot of things right, but the most important one, it fails hard, it could be game of the year, most ppl are calling this one of the best rpg/games ever, its definatly overrated in that aspect.
I really wanna finish it, but as soon as i think of doing the same old quests for 10 hours in a zone, than go for the last one for another 10, thats half the stuff i did until now, and i know it will kill me.
Maybe ill give it a rest and come back later to finish it, or im doing it wrong, im doing mostly rifts, the main "side quests" on the areas, i dont go crazy collecting shards and stuff either, i do whatever is at hand at the time and move on.. so i dunno, does it get more fun towards the end? cause at this point it has been 25 hours of doing exactly the same stuff over and over again, and ii know most games are like that but this one takes it to another whole level imo.

I'm 29 hrs and barely visited Val Royeaux, recruited Sera and Viviene. Had to advance in story because I didn't have anything else to do, grinded Hinterlands, Fallow Mire, Storm Coast and Exalted Plains.
Mage, lvl 11, gave a shot at the Hinterlands dragon, was bearable until mid-life, but then I failed miserably.

I strongly sugest you progress with the main plot, cause what you did for those hours, you gonna repeat it at least 6 to 8 times.. just in different locations, i made the same mistake of taking it slow and now im burned out, but i guess thats just me ..

Be sure to stock up on health regeneration potions. I were in the same position, and they helped tremendously.

If you are being anal about collection quests, the mosaic pieces quest has two bugs that have not been patched by Bioware, which makes them impossible to complete. There's a mod that fixes it though - http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonageinquisition/mods/272 (by the guy that coded the mod tools).

My mage has the revival skill, but kept dying when the dragon was flapping it's wings, otherwise kept a safe distance so i could buff the party.
Will try again with 2 warriors and Varric, as I recruited the Bull.

I've just killed the Envy demon, I've been to the Coast and finished any quests that were there (except shard quests and bullshit like that). I've almost finished everything in Hinterlands.
