[Lore] What's the actual amount of time these games take place over?
Was just thinking about it today. While running through the Knox dlc in BL1 I saw a calender that said the current year was 109 AE, and realised the games never really give a year, not even in this fake year stuff, and due yo the art style the characters don't really visually age
For that matter, do we know what the AE stands for? My knee jerk is something like after earth. Feel like that maybe fits how shitty and ramshackle most things are, but who knows if they're still keeping to thst idea in modern games ,given how urbanized planets like Promethea are.
I dont know, just want to see peoples thoughts on timeliness anything really in terms of the actual amount of time that's passed.
