While they are fluid in-game, if we had to try to ascribe a "canon" date for them, Legacy makes the most sense (at least imo) to be set either sometime in time skip between Act 2 and 3 (9:34 and 9:37) or at some point during Act 3.
The reason why Legacy makes little sense to have taken place in Act 1 is that we're supposed to believe that Hawke's content to put the entire Deep Roads expedition on hold to go chase an entirely new threat through the Vimmark Mountains, potentially missing the boat and Bartrand leaving without him. Coupled with Hawke's relative lack of fame even within Kirkwall (except for certain circles), makes me question whether the Carta would have been aware of them enough to connect the surname of two Ferelden refugees fresh off the boat with that of an apostate hired by Grey Wardens from over twenty-five years ago? It's possible sure, but it seems like a huge stretch.
Hawke was also far too busy during most of Act 2 to simply up and leave the city for any length of time, especially as they were the only person in Kirkwall that the Arishok was willing to treat with at all. And if Bethany is alive and in the Circle, I don't know that even with the Deep Roads fortune Hawke would have had the necessary amount to bribe the Templars to allow her to tag along? While we know that the Circles do allow certain loyal members to temporarily be allowed to venture out on occasion (Wynne in Origins, Rhys in Asunder), the Gallows seems too strict for such activities to occur, especially without a Templar escort (unless Varric left them out of the story).
For Mark of the Assassin meanwhile, Hawke's reason for being invited to attend the party at Chateau-Haine is explained quite well depending on each Act and could easily fit within all of them. It's also conceivable that Tallis would have chosen Hawke in Act 1 because they were a relatively unknown and expendable mercenary, in Act 2 because she'd heard of them through their dealings with the Arishok and in Act 3 because of their fame as the Champion.
However, the same reasons for Act 2 apply as for why Hawke probably wouldn't have left the city for that amount of time in the middle of the Qunari crisis, as well as why Circle!Bethany (or even estranged Templar!Carver) wouldn't have been allowed leave. This leaves either Act 1 or before/during Act 3 as the best candidates for when MotA likely took place within the timeline.
I personally prefer either before/during Act 3 as the more likely option, as if it was during Act 1, once again Hawke would have had to travel halfway to Nevarra and back before the Deep Roads Expedition. Tallis' reasons for hiring Hawke and open admiration for them as the Champion, especially if they were declared Basalit-an by the Arishok, also make far more sense for why she hired them.
Of course, this is all idle speculation on my part...
Thoughts? Disagreements? Anything I missed?
The DLC for Dragon Age 2 has always been problematic concerning dates on the timeline, which is why originally I didn't include them on here and instead viewed them as being encompassed in my Dragon Age 2 listing. The only source I could find that referenced the times for any of the dlcs was on the timeline in the World of Thedas. It states: "Hawke enters the Warden prison in the Vimmark Mountains and attempts to destroy Corypheus. History is vague on when exactly this occurs. 9:31-9:37 Dragon." None of the other dlc are mentioned in that timeline, so I opted to treat the events of the others in the same manner despite not being a fan of date-date accounts on singular events. Although it does work perfectly for The Exiled Prince, and The Black Emporium as those dlc have continuing events throughout Acts 1-3.
