Then theres a 2 year gap between 1 and 2 and a 6 month gap between 2 and 3. Or that Liara goes crazy being stuck in her trap for months if you rescue her last. Take, for instance, that we know Matriarch Benezia was on Sovreign with Saren after Eden Prime and then on Noveria for at least a week before you get there even if you head straight off.

You have the most textual support for this in 3 where your conversations with Anderson have him talking about the progress they've made or lost in a matter of weeks each time but even in 1 and 2 travel time between systems alone is definitely multiple weeks. Its supposed to be a few months for each game. or is there assumed to be weeks or months of time that these people spend on ship together? Wasn't sure if that was mentioned anywhere in the games or other media? How long are the events of each game meant to take place over, in-universe? Like is it just a day or two that people have together across the events of ME1 and again in ME2.
