Yeah. All clearings look the same in Ferelden it seems. Then again the Inquisitor can teleport back to SKyhold from far off lands, so why not? It would have been nice to have a calendar to keep track of days. Not to be on a timer, just to acknowledge the passage of time.
Yeah, acknowledgement of time passing has always been pretty bad in DA. In the books, it took Maric and Loghain the better half of a month to go half way to where the Warden and party went in the Deep Roads...but in DAO, they treat it as if you were gone for an afternoon. Yet, the game took place over a year, so there must have been a lot of off-screen travelling time.
That's what I've always liked about The Elder Scrolls, there's a calendar, different months, etc. Though I guess you could completely break lore that way by waiting for years and years if you had the patience. I wonder if it's possible to get into the Fifth Era just by waiting...
