How many times does it need to be repeated?

The comic books ARE NOT canon to the game. READ the post from David Gaider

Eh, maybe I missed something, but wasn't that already stated several times in here? I think most people know the comic books aren't canon- my question was more directed to the books and the film.

It's usually best to ignore Melca.

I apologized. No need to get snarky. <_<

It's fine with me, I just thought maybe I was unclear. The comics clearly can't be canon because that's not how it goes in my head. lol. When I read them, my head explodes...and yeah.

I just consider them entertainment. Its understandable on how you can feel that way.

So as I figured, the film happens after DA2 and before the parts where Cassandra is interogating Varric. Okay, so that sets up what Orlais is going through- Asunder then is after all of it? Yes? So in the DA world, the events of Asunder have happened right after (give or take) all of the other books, games and films. Asunder's events are the latest events that we know about.

Ya it seems Asunder is the last. I seem to recall they mentioning "what happened on Kirkwall last year" or something to that effect, while talking about Fiona's election to leader of the mages. If I am correct, Asunder takes place at least 2 years after "The Last Straw".

How long after DA2 does Asunder take place?

[ElitePinecone]

Asunder's internal timeline is quite long, so I think it's set in 9:38-9, about a year after DA2, with the final scenes (Lambert dissolving the Chantry etc) happening in 9:40.

Is it me or does everyone thinks that Lambert will be a boss enemy somewhere in DA 3

[LinksOcarina]

All we know is that from 9:30-9:40, a lot of stuff went down in Thedas.

DA3 happens in 9:40, if we take the decade mentioned in the marketing blurb as literally ten years. That manages to make the timeline a bit simpler, since the game will take place after *all* the prior comics, novels, games and movies and we can treat them all as prequels instead of having to deal with things happening simultaneously.

That also fits with Cassandra being influential (after Dawn of the Seeker in 9:37), Orlais being in a state of civil war (as per Asunder in 9:38-9) and Cole already being a significant character with... humanity issues. Cassandra's interrogation of Varric with her splinter loyalist Seeker group (plus Leliana) happens in 9:40.

If DA3 really takes place the literal 10 years later though, Cassandra will be in her mid-thirties or perhaps even fourty... she didn't look that "old" in the concept art.. except, of course, the snips with her in DA2 do really take place in the DA3 time.

Alistair was 30 in DA:O, and i agree, it would make everything simpler if it started in 9:40

Alistair was somewhat 20 in DA:O. Cailen, his older brother was born in 9:05.

No, i remeber one of the writers (i think gaider) talked about how they kinda hated adding in that rule about how the calling can happen up to about 30 years later, cuz he said they said it's mostly like 10-15 years. And he said Alistair was about 30

No, because Cole... SPOILER!!! 

it's not possible. at all. ever. 

[FreyaWazHere]

A quick couple of thoughts, and truthfully I have not bothered to read through 77 pages of discussion, but....

As far as I've been concerned, having read all of "The Silent Grove" and just bought "Those Who Speak" I think they are (the comics) as close to non-player influenced cannon as you can get. Even if you didn't make Alistair king at the end of Origins the 'default choice' for DA2 if you don't import a save game has Alistair as king so....

However I just really want to point out that one of the leaked/revealed/whatever pictures of the potential companions has one that looks exactly like Cullen and Im really excited for that and totally hope they make him an LI.

Actually they did change it. Alistair is 21 in the game. In the concept he was 32. They changed it. Gaider posted it several times.

Not unless we fight ghosts in DA3.

But Lambert aint dead yet.

[Spicen]

I think the Tevinter statue in the Fereldan circle knows a lot of things. Infact the statue says it will come back to its real form when the maker comes to light the fires. Anyone realise anything interesting here. I bet the statue can answer what the realm beyond the fade is.

It's strongly implied that he is.

Though if Buffy taught me anything, it's that you really never can tell when someone is actually going to stay "dead."

Well, if Ducan was 20 in the book the calling, he would have been 40 in Origins.  Alistair stated in one of his conversations (remember those) that Duncan was thinking of going on his calling after 20 years.  But starting to think and feel as to go on the Calling, not actually ready to do it.  So 30 sounds about right as established in the original game.

This whole time period to me seemed to have lasted more than just a two year period.

Mike tweeted the other day that they wouldn't be announcing the next game for a while.

I can't see any reason why he'd be misleading on that, so I think what some people were saying about the VGAs in December is more likely.
