What year do the events in the video game Dragon Age:Origins take place?

The video game Dragon Age:Origins is one of the best game ever, and I have been wondering what year(s) these events would've taken place in if they happened in the real world.What year do the events in the video game Dragon Age:Origins take place?
Well. the middle ages, which the story seems to be based on, lasted from the 5th century to the 15th century. The Iron Age didn't really begin until somewhere in the 12th century. Being that the armor and weapons are so intricate and well crafted, I would guess the storyline would be at least into the 13th.



OK. Assuming we're looking at 1200-1500 for an approximate era. I take a bit of an issue with the fact that there are many steel weapons. Steel weapons were extremely rare and often not that strong in that time. Not until the invention of the Bessemer process in the late 19th century did steel become the indestructible super material of our day.



So, I know its fiction, but if I had to make a guess, I would say somewhere in the late 1400s. Mainly because this was the late period of the middle ages where these kinds of mythic tales were most popular.



Sorry so long, just trying to be accurate :)
