 Seeing as there are appreciation threads for different characters, I saw that I should make one for one of my favorite companions: Shale.:wub:
Posted Image  

From a simple statue, to being a golem, Shale is simply one of the best companions in this game. Shale's abilities allow her to be played as whatever you want, her hatred of birds is hilarious, and the reveal of what she really was is a twist I did not expect. I hope we see more Shale in the future and let all now that Shale is one of the best companions in Dragon Age: Origins. Go Team Shale!!!!!!!:wub:

I brought Shale on every mission, and used her as a tank. One of my favorite companions in DA:O.

Her dwarven heritage makes her infinitely more badass than some of the other companions. Posted Image

And she's a dwarven golem. That gives her 100 badazz points in my book :police:

Shale is probably my favourite character in DA:O, all things considered (I kinda love all of them, no exceptions). My current character killed her at the Anvil, though. She was traumatised about the deed ever since, and always regrets it.

Shale is a really good tank, but her DPS is suprisingly awesome. Pulversing Blows=insta-win.

I haven't used Shale as often as I'd like. Shale is one of the few companions who got me to laugh on a regular basis with her sarcasm.

This is long overdue. I adore Shale; she is easily one of the most well written characters in the game.

In my last game, I took Shale on her personal quest near the end of the game, with nearly all her talents maxed and set her for pulverizing blows with brilliant fire crystals. She DESTROYED things, especially Darkspawn. O_O

Trust me, I was pretty broken up about it myself. She is my favourite character. It was one of my character's formative moments.Posted ImagePosted Image

Never again, though. I'll just leave her in camp and then lie to her.

Best Shale line ever:

Shale: So the elf betrayed us?

Sten:Does this suprise you?

Shale: No not really, now I am just imagining squashing its little head aaahhhh there we go.

Shale is probably my favorite character, so I'm especially pleased she's so versatile. Not that I ever bother utilizing her versatility, but it's nice to know it's there.

Definitely one of the more lulzy NPC companions. Snark at every turn, even and especially to pompous snits like Isolde. But she also has some poignant dialogues with Zevran.



OTOH, sister... careful with the Hurl attack, please. I think she took out half the Denerim guard in the final gates battle where I couldn't control her tactics.

I think my favourite line from Shale was: "Oh, somebody please kill somebody!"



Although, I can't remember when she says it.

During the Nature of the beast quest line.
After Zathrian gets knocked down and you get the final dialouge before making your choice.

iirc - when you're chatting with Zathrian and the Lady about ending the curse.

Edit - Giggles is too fast for me!  Darn slow updating forums ;-)

I like dropping her out of the party from time to time just to hear her go, "Pigeon crap!" Other than that, my favorite is when Leliana is trying to convince Shale that she is a good person inside.



Leliana: You aren't all stone, Shale. There is a person inside of you.

Shale: If so, it is because I ate him.

Hearing Shale get flustered after watching Sten's glistening muscles in a banter is my fave Shale banter.

I love most of Shale's dialogue, but that banter with Sten must be near the top of the list. I also love her commenst during Redcliffe, such as:

Tomas: We're under attack from strange monsters! (paraphrase)

Shale: Is anyone surprised? anyone?

AND

Teagan: And who are these people with you, they seem like no simple travelers?

Shale: Oh, good eye.

Shale is just too awesome for words, really. I have a blast to write her in my fic and in the game she is easily one of my favorite snark buddies. Alistair, Morrigan, Shale & Zevran = Team of awesome snark. Therefore D.Gaider must be the king of snark, since he wrote all these chars. Go figure, Heh.



"I remember this day when the birds come" So quotable <3

Shale has stones about her, make no mistake. Her nigh-flirtatious relationship with Sten always makes me laugh.



I do wonder, though, how other people use Shale: I tend to use her as the Tank with Stoneheart, and haven't really tried any other mode successfully.
