Dragon Age Origins - Shale's Final Thoughts

[kadu21]

wait shale didnt pop up at the end of my game



[DarknessXER]

Shale kinda reminds me of Hanar from Mass Effect somewhat.

[rvbkid]

Shal sometimes gets a girly voice. Anyone hear that?

[There4leonskennedy]

@rvbkid well ya shes a chick

[rvbkid]

@There4leonskennedy

Manly chick.

[There4leonskennedy]

@rvbkid she has a medical condition. she/he doesnt like to talk about it ;)

[xXMightyWaddlesXx]

''They remind me of PIGEONS.''  XD Shale is awesome

[There4leonskennedy]

@xXMightyWaddlesXx christ what doesnt remind shale of pigeons XD

[HigureCommando]

I've heard that shale bugs out on the xbox version sometimes.

[Xezcente]

Actually, Shale doesn't show up in the console version. It could be a bug. It seems like Bioware won't be fixing it.

[revan2100]

shale dose not appear in the ending because she leave to find a way to become human if u have a high rep with her she misses the way she use to be wyne tells u she left to find a cure.

[Nuxinor]

Spoiler:

This is not the only thing that Shale can choose to do. She can also choose to go with Wynne to Tevinter and look into regaining her mortality. You need to Complete 'A Golem's Memories' for this ending.

[spartanchief360]

how does shale appear in the post coronation is it an update?

[Alchemist1995]

i got shales aprovement to 100 and she stoped calling me "it" XD

[DemoraX]

she's sexy! XD

[Raafi1234]

Those of you who DINT by the excellent game and got it off some torrent site will be asking why they don't have shale (as one of their playable character). You will not get half of the game content (including shale) without purchasing it. And honestly dragon age is an EXCELLENT game! Don't be so cheap buy the game..... or atleast reverve a copy of the next dragon age coming out in a few months!!

[vaeyn]

@Raafi1234 Torrents had DLCS available immediately after and throughout it's release. Whether you bought it or not, they had access to every piece of content. This doesn't explain Shale's disappearance for anybody.

[MrRyfoe]

Guys, read the discription befor posting shale comments please!

[Kodenameridgway93]

can someone explain how to get shale at the end, whenever i beat the game he isnt there

[UltramanCronos]

@Kodenameridgway93

I think its only in the PC version.

[xiShadowWolfx]

Ive never noticed shale anywhere in the end-game room?

[GamingWithStatoke]

I have Shale but at the end of the game, after talking to everyone I can't ever see shale

[qWpable]

DESTROY ALL PIGEONS EVERYWHERE

[thedarknesscallingme]

how did you get her to appear in the hall at the end of the game, everytime i've played it everyone else has appeared except shale.

[elvenmage271]

@thedarknesscallingme u have to have high enough like eithier that or a problem with ur game

[thedarknesscallingme]

@elvenmage271

must be a problem with the game cause i got 100% approval from shale and still she didnt appear at the end of the game. it's nothing really bad just a tad annoying lol

[M3ND0ZA818]

For some reason she was not there in the ending celebration in my game. Anyone know why that happened? The only thing mentioned to me about Shale in the end is when Wynne told me she is going with Shale to the Tevinter. Shale wants to find out if she can be a dwarf again.

[blazinghen]

@M3ND0ZA818 Maybe It's like ME2 and some people die during the Siege at Denerim.

[MegaYugiohking]

i have a question. If you download a dlc that requires you to leave ferelden by importing your character, can you still go back to ferelden after you have finished the story or travel between lands?

[Twiggymaster666]

@MegaYugiohking simple answer yes

[bananamaniac2]

WTF!!!! I payed $15 for that stone bitch and now I lose her at the end of the game?! What the hell!!

[gurezurei]

You must have enough approval and do Shale's personal quest in order to pop the epilogue which either:

-Shale and Wynne went together for an adventure to regain Shale's original form.

-Rumors that Shale heads to north and hunts pigeons.

-Shale went to the Deep Roads to eradicate darkspawns.

IIRC. I didn't play DAO for a long time and I am more focused on ME2.

Just catching up on DA. Shale's one of my fave characters.

[WaluigiCrotchchop]

what the... I finished the game with Shale in my party and she wasn't there at the celebration at all

[gorboy]

For some reason, Shale never shows up at the ending epilogue on any of my playthroughs. :(

[jbfarley]

@gorboy i think it's only the pc version that he shows up, he never showed up on the 6 times i beat it on my 360

[juxmook]

Shale is pretty cool, but I like Sten better

[BlackwingDrake]

I managed to get her to go to Tevinter with Wynne. Dunno How. Maybe the Approval... I had 100 with everyone, except Zevran and Sten.

[100ab]

How come I can't find Shale in the end on XBOX and PS3?

[LaZodiac]

Man, it sucks Shale isn't in the ending on the 360 version.

[bladesharks]

i love shale

perhaps i will fight the darkspawn in the deep road. clear them out for good.

they remind me of PIGONS!

never gets old XD

[0sprite0]

lol shale "the darkspawn remind me of pigeons"

[1Dithon]

I love how after you talk to Sten here he says, "Where is the cake? I was told there would be cake! The cake is a lie..." XD

[BillyCauseyjr]

Anyone know if there is a video of the beggers from the Elf ailenage. especially the whoe orphen guy and the fancy clothes man.

[Zain844]

WHERE IS SHALE!!! I COULDN'T FIND HER AT THE CORNINATION!

[MrWalter8890]

yes

[Legionari3]

Shale wasent in the hall when i finished the game and i had her for most of the game is this a glitch in the PS3 version of the game?

[ColeVecsion]

@Legionari3 Shale won't show up on the console version, dunno if it's a glitch per se, might just be for pc only, wynne mentions shale as the only send off we get from her on console

[Legionari3]

@ColeVecsion there a updating coming for PS3 version to fix some crashes since Firmware update hopfully it will be one of the things BIoware add

[StainzToXin]

@ColeVecsion you gotta download a dlc dude

[ColeVecsion]

@StainzToXin lol okay, like i said, on consoles Shale will not apear at the ceremony, this clearly implies i do infact have the dlc, did get to said ceremony and that on console (ps3 & 360) shale; the stone golem you see in this video that i was discussing; does not in fact apear at the ceremony

Not sure how much clearer i can make this

[MessagerOfHell]

I like shale's personalety, he's my favorite character besides Alistair and Leliana... and of course Ogren

[MrWalter8890]

heyi havve the shale code but i cant download it somebody help me

[3DTyrant]

@MrWalter8890 are you on xbox live? (if you got the 360 ofc)

[WrightWindWrath]

Why is Shale not there when I finish the game? She gave me the talk before fighting the Archdemon like everyone else, but she wasn't in the castle after the battle! )): I'm playing it on the PS3, is that the reason why?

[iksarguards]

If Shale likes you (and starts calling you YOU as opposed to IT), it is absent at the end of the game. Wynne (if she's in your party and not -dead-) informs you that you've impressed Shale so much that it is preparing to travel to Tivinter on a quest to regain its mortality. Wynne intends to accompany Shale on this journey.

[Skyrr123]

can u get shale without use the download thing u get when u buy the game? and where do u find him?

[MacMachineMan]

no

u have to have the download to find him

[Skyrr123]

but it cost money coz u need to get points ,, why isnt it free?

[MacMachineMan]

idk

i bought the game at the store and got the addon with the game, also with the dragon armor or whatever

[SoapGaz]

Shale is awesome when she says pigeons, my fav follower, then sten, so many fun conversations to be had

[TheDashingRogue]

PIGEONS!! :D

[jseth03]

he's not there when i did it, wtf!!!

[Deidaraisforever]

if you die in the end shale well a women lives in the hilsl and hunts birds

[R1DDL3RS]

He sounds like Hannibal Lecter

[SelejX]

You know, I've completed the game on four playthroughs and Shale never shows up at the castle, despite being in my final four party.

[TwistyMcFisty]

Golems do not really have a sex but the spirit that was bound to Shale was a dwarf female named Shayla.

[ELITE750]

@TwistyMcFisty  Shayle*

[ShayLee0501]

@TwistyMcFisty Sexual organs would be disintegrated when molten rock was poured into the oversized armour. Shale is physically sexless but self identity should still be gender specific, no?

Do you remember the end? I haven't played since just after the game was released. I'm playing DA2 now but I find the story less exciting/epic. From my import, it seems I killed the dragon, married Alistair & became queen. Why didn't I die killing the archdemon? I only really remember the horrific golem quest

[ShayLee0501]

@ShayLee0501 ...I keep reading it was possible for wardens to make the ultimate sacrifice, killing the arch-demon him/herself but dying in the process. How come I survived? I know my companions survived the final battle because I fully upgraded the fortress & they would have died if I failed to do so (kind of like Mass Effect 2, where people survive if you don't skip anything but in ME I it has to do with contentment/loyalty equalling alterness). What does the warden need to do to die in DA;O?

[ZM7241994]

@ShayLee0501 The only way I can think of is that you accepted Morrigan's offer. If you want your Warden to make the ultimate sacrifice then don't accept Morrigan's offer and make sure the Warden kills the Archdemon.

[ShayLee0501]

@ZM7241994 Oh so that's why I lived. I didn't remember. I remembered thinking that Morrigan's baby would somehow take on the God essence and possibly help Morrigan become super powerful and able to defeat Flemeth when she comes to take Morrigan's body.

[ZM7241994]

@ShayLee0501 You're partially correct. If you do accept her offer when you or Alistair take the killing blow on the Archdemon it's soul it will for some unknown reason go to the unborn child. I'm not too sure how or why but the unborn doesn't die but the archdemon's soul is destroyed which ends the Blight. Now, what you said about the baby helping Morrigan is somewhat correct. When the child was born he/she would have the mind of an Old God.

[ShayLee0501]

@ZM7241994 ah yes thanks. I remember that now but how exactly will this help Morrigan. Do you think she wants to take it's body like Flemeth might one day take hers? That would make her more powerful than even Flemeth so she could fight her off... but that she'd be just as deserving of death as Flemeth.

[Stevean2115]

@ShayLee0501 if your male, morrigan will ask you if you'd like to do a "Dark Ritual" which is bassicly, you have the secks with to get her pregnent, the reasoning for this is teh baby will technically be a greywarden, and part ofyou, so when you deliver the final blow, the archdemon will try killing the baby, which it cant do since it's not formed or born yet. if your female you'll have to get alistair or Secret Compaion to do it

[ShayLee0501]

@Stevean2115 Eww on giving Morrigan a choice between Loghain or nothing hahahaha. That's just mean.

I was disappointed not to see the consequences of the choice in DA:2. I never got a chance to play witch hunt but from what I've read it seems to imply that it might be a good idea to stab Morrigan. That would mean the consequences of letting her have that baby aren't going to be good and also that it's not going to be a major part of any storyline in future releases. Disappointing

[fireking9934]

yeah guys, shale is a female.....

[BailorTheSailorMan]

No, the spirit bound to shale is female.

[Luxa3000]

I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE i heard it comes out in march~

[Rave7557]

So... You lose all your party members after beating the game? Even if you go through with Morrigans ritual?

[vaeyn]

Pretty much. Dunno how the DLC will play out, though.

[Rave7557]

That sucks! Well we know that Shale will at least be alive, imortal and all. I wonder if your character will look different? Sucks though that you lose your party :/

[chunga100]

@vaeyn you were not that great of friends with shale were you?

[LittleAlBhed]

@vaeyn Yes, you do. Only the dog re-appears in Witch Hunt.

[DharkDemonBlade]

well if you have a relationship with leliana she will follow u, same iwth zervan, and if your human female noble, u can become alistar's queen

[WyverxCA]

Well, the game is over... so yeah.

[harlandwirth]

@Rave7557 you can load the saved game called epiloge and you start at your camp with everyone who is left after the final battle. You can then continue to play any downloadable content or expansions.

[chilwil07]

@Rave7557 u only regain orghen from what ive seen

[honkytonkman211]

@Rave7557 with awakening u keep oghren

[Rave7557]

@honkytonkman211

Yea I already know that :P

[Gunganbuster]

I think it's safe to say that she still counts as a woman since in one conversation she makes a wistful cooment about how the sun reflects on Sten's muscles before hastily changing the subject.

[simonnor]

*PLOT WARNING*

He is a female, he was once a female dwarf that was one of the first voleenters( wrong spelld)

to become a gollem.

[Peterowsky]

"they remind me of pidgeons"

couldn't help myself, seeing a piece of rock comparing something to a pidgeon

still laughing

[IrishMinja]

there are so many similar quest and references to Biowares other games like Jade empire with the souls going into the golems. Shale has a similar story to Fawkes In fallout 3 a super mutant that was a gir but now is as manly as can be(shivers) and they both dont remember the past.

[illegalusername]

There's an another possible final conversation with shale, where she plans to head for the Tevinter Imperium and maybe become a dwarf again.

She also calls the hero "you" instead of "it" and it's pretty cool :3

[mattisdaking]

idk why people say that shale is a "she" or a "he" because the voice sounds like a guy, but maybe its just random...

[joeslickback]

Well in bleach yoruichi has a male voice while in cat form and is really a female.

[saturn226]

whats bleach?

[joeslickback]

A anime on adultswim only showing on saturday nights.

[squarepumplenumber2]

@mattisdaking shale is a she, you find out during the anvil of the void quest or whatever if you have her in your party at the time

[Studmuffindk]

They remind me of PIDGEON'S!

[NoCreditForMe]

shale is a download

[brando1001]

it is only on computer if anyone hasnt noticed

[CatClaws27]

No it's not i have Shale and i have Dragon age for PS3. If you buy the game, it comes with a code to redeem her and get her for free :D

[brando1001]

oh lol i cant remember posting anything dont enough remember what exactly i was thinking about at the time. anyway ignore me i never knew anything because she sided with the other freaking golems D: i lost her at the anil of the void so i guess i wouldnt know XD

[brenndon1]

Does any one know why the hell i chouldnt find shale at the end of the game?

[AgentownshipRebelion]

@brenndon1

I've been wondering this too. I've beat the game with several different characters and Shale is never there at the end whether my character sacrifices his or herself or not.

[Solidsteel86]

I've never seen him on the 360 version.

[CatClaws27]

I found out that Shale is actually a she xDD you would never guess

[MaxDorval]

@brenndon1 you havent looked for him. or u sacrified urself.. than u dont see him its the camera that does... ya..

[brenndon1]

Yea i looked for him no. I never did the sacrifice ending.

[emeraldthechao174]

If you die, she heads to the north, turns back dwarf somehow, and hunts pigeons =]

[vaeyn]

I'll have to check that out some time. I accidently deleted my saved games files during my HD transfer, so it'll be awhile.

[teddyGros]

@emeraldthechao174 I got the same thing but survived

[emeraldthechao174]

@teddyGros Strange, when I survived her epilogue entry didn't pop up

[Simsmaster66]

@emeraldthechao174 Not true. I survived and she turned back to a dwarf.

[FlyThruDAir]

Stupid 360 version, my ending is bugged. Shale is not there, and I went through it's personal quest and everything. Epilogue also only says "The companions went there seperate ways." And I did all companion quests. UGH!!! Anyway, thanks for showing this, Shale is my favorite character.
