When does this game take place? The game mentions how Neverwinter was ruined after the "last time" Mount Hotenow erupted, meaning it HAS to take place after its eruption in 1451 DR. They also talk about the "new lord of Neverwinter" which would mean Lord Neverember and placing the game circa late 1460s or early 1470s. OR they could be talking about Hugh Grant's character from the movie, which would place it in the 1490s just before said movie.

Notably, Deekin Scalesinger from Neverwinter Nights (1370s DR) is still alive, lending credence to the 1460s/1470s date (he'd still be over 100 regardless).

I haven't finished the game yet so I might be missing other clues. Thoughts?

You correctly noted the Mount Hotenow eruption in 1451 DR. In the game’s early "leveling" zones, NPCs frequently refer to the "cataclysm" as having happened about 25–30 years ago, which lands you right around 1479 DR
