I'm only going along with the given timeline. They never gave any implication of what time 1.X 2.X or 3.X spanned across. They could have taken weeks, months, minutes, etc...

When you play the entire main story straight through, it doesnt feel like much time is passing as you're going along. But since we wait months between each patch, the story feels like it's taking place over a long time
