While technically correct that one could "just enter the appropriate area" at a lower level, then come back later when you've leveled-up but the baddies haven't, doing so actually makes less sense in practice.

For both the the "Broken Circle" and the "Anvil of the Void" quests, the way back is blocked once you've enterd into the really dangerous parts, (and in the Tower, even earlier.) For Redcliffe, if you leave once you've entered then the village gets wiped-out before you return. And for the "Nature of the Beast", you don't get to the point of unlocking the key area (the Elven Ruins, and within that, the WW's Lair) until you've passed through several other layers first.

Remember, there are "areas within areas".
