Or you just let players get their face smashed in by a high level enemy when they trespass somewhere they shouldn't so they learn that they're not ready to face that challenge yet. You also craft a world that gently guides them in a viable direction to level up to meet that challenge, ideally with multiple options to pursue.

Wasn't morrowind like that? There's nothing wrong with going somewhere and going "oh I shouldn't be here. I'll come back later."
