its more because of last flight that draws the time issue
According to the wiki, that books takes place in 9:41, and the 'present day' parts of it only happen over the course of a few weeks or months. From this, we can assume that by the time the Breach occurs, it's far enough in 9:41 that messengers would be unable to bring news of such a cataclysmic event in the Anderfels by the time the book ends.
So the beginning of Dragon Age: Inquisition takes place ~1 month before or after Last Flight, and up to half a year or so after the end cutscene of Dragon Age II.
I'm not getting a 9:42 Dragon date anywhere from this. Just curious where people are pulling it from. Probably from the "It's been ~20 years since DotS, which took place in 9:22 Dragon" thing we have when we have out bi-monthly 'Cassandra's age' debate.
Speaking of regular events, when's the last time we talked about Cassandra's build while posting MMA fighters we think she should look like? I haven't seen a Gina Carano pics/gif for at least a hundred pages!
