I want to know the timeline during the game, Wynne mentions that is almost a year and someone mentions it too in the end of the game; so I did a small timeline: -- it is only a guide, I know that you can choose any quest in any order
First Month = Origins
First Month = Ostagar
Second Month = Lothering
Second Month = arrive to Redcliffe
Third Month = Circle (here I'm counting in go to the circle for help and returning to redcliffe again)
Third Month = Ferelden
Fourth Month = Haven (urn)
fifth month = arrive to Redcliffe with the ashes
six Month = looking for the dalishan
Seventh Month = Nature of the beast
seventh Month = road to orzammar
eight Month = Orzammar
Ninth month = end of orzammar
ninth month = preparations for the landsmeet in Redcliffe
Tenth Month = start of the Rescue the queen in Denerim
Eleventh Month = Landsmeet
Eleventh Month = final Battle
Twelfth Month = celebrations/funeral
- what is your opinion ?

I think the "nearly a year" thing that both Wynne and the game says refers to all the freaking walking that's needed to get across Ferelden. You figure a country as large as any European nation is going to take a long time to walk across. Remember how Dagna, in the An Unlikely Scholar quest says, if you talk to her before going to the circle tower, that it takes "a minimum of two weeks and four days" to go from Orzammar to the Circle Tower? Well, extend walking back and forth from, say, Orzammar to Denerim, and that would take up to a month or two.
You can easily figure that the quests take maybe 2 days to complete, depending on how much fighting and walking the party needs to do, but most of that "nearly a year" is spent walking. The only exception to that is, of course, Orzammar, because of all the walking needed to get around the thaigs.Hitokiri Akins (talk) 00:24, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
It's a shame that Ferelden's map doesn't have a scale... It's what was said above. All quests, plus the times you went to the camp plus the times you traveled around Ferelden must be a total of twelve months. The fifth Blight was also one of the shortest Blights that ever ocurred. In the end, Duncan says "the Blight has ended before it truly began". -- Rocketai (talk · contr) 00:30, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
I don't know anythng about the timeline, but I do remember that the funeral/coronation was said to have been six months after the final battle. Deathoflife (talk) 00:27, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
Exactly for example Redcliffe and the circle only take 1 day, but Orzammar can take weeks in the deep roads, climb until the temple took too long, and the walking time depend from the road, weather and darkspawn; -- and don't know the size of Ferelden is other big problem, I wish that Bioware fix it in DA2. PS: the six months later I think that is about the wedding between your warden and the King/Queen --Makoto DK (talk) 01:59, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
It would be interesting if BW put some kind of day counting on DA2, so it tells you how much time it took to finish a particular quest and all that... Just sayin'. Also, I think the coroation is right when the Blight is over and the wedding/Awakening is six months later. -- Rocketai (talk · contr) 02:05, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
It would not take one month after ostagar to get to lothering. As it appears it seems you leave flemeths hut in the morning and arrive there at sunset. Why would alistair and the warden discus what to do next then, if they had been walking around a forest for a week or so? Also it took only a few days to get from redcliffe to denerim in order to save it in time. --69.179.245.153 (talk) 18:15, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
