Ok ladies, here's my prediction for how many years after DA2 that DA3 will be set:
DA2's story ended sometime in 9:38 dragon and the Asunder novel takes place a year after the events of DA2, where all the cool sh!t happens with the Mages & Templars in Orlais. Sooo my guess is DA3 will be set in 9:39/9:40 dragon.
... Which means Cullen will still be young enough to shag yay! Although I'm a bit concerned that they'll replace Cullen with Ser Evangeline as our Templar spokesperson/companion/love interest.
Weellll, I would actually say Act 3 ended closer to 9:37, which is 3 yrs after the Champion is named in 9:34, and the acts themselves are negligibly long. Of course, I'd love some evidence to put it in 9:38 since that would make the timeline in Asunder make MUCH more sense. Anyway, then Varric is supposedly interrogated in 9:40 for the whole "decade long" saga, during which he acknowledges to Cassandra that the templars have left the Chantry, an event which we know from Asunder happens in 9:40. So, yeah, I'd imagine DA3 would take place after all that, so in at least 9:40. Personally, I'd hope they get in a few years of the mage-templar war before we revisit the story, so I would wager it would be a bit later (somewhere between 9:40-9:50)
In any event, I think Cullen's got a whole lot more years for shaggin, so I would think we'd be covered. 
Really? I read DA2 ended in 9:38 and Asunder takes place a year later in 9:39? It's really hard trying to get information on the timeline through google LOL.
Grr, this has actually been driving me crazy recently... so please forgive the crazy ravings over dates! I'd love for someone to come out and say Meredith died in 9:38 definitively. But, I can't find anything that tells me so. Every indicator is that Act 3 happens in "year seven" as per the save game and other in game dialogue (for example, a
discussion here), so 9:30+ 7 has to be 9:37. Act 3 could just be longer than the others...?
Chantry incident in 9:38 is the only thing that might make sense with Asunder, after
I've beaten my head against the wall with that timeline and every time reference the book contains. Indeed, they say repeatedly that it takes place a year "after Kirkwall" and definitively ends in 9:40. All references to the Blight and the Divine suggest the main events take place around at least 9:39 or 9:40. So all I can guess is most of the book happens in late autumn to winter 9:39, and the books' final events end in early 9:40. Of course "a year" is probably one plus or minus a few months, but it still seems to be some time missing (for example if Asunder starts in late autumn 9:39, something happening in the last month of 9:37 is almost two years earlier).
Argh, sorry /end rant.

Have some Cullen... angry!Cullen says, "R2, get over it!"
