I really dont see what the big deal is. You guys make it sound as if raising her approval is hard...it isn't.

No doubt.
I just buy the cheap gifts for her because they work as well as the expensive ones. Why waste the gold when a couple of cheap trinkets and buttering her up and indulging her sense of superiority will get you what you need.

No matter what I give her I always get +1. I can get higher approval by talking to her but gifts only give me +1. This is my 4th time going through the game and nothing has changed.
***SPOLIERS***
I think this time I might take her to the anvil of the void just for the satisfaction of killing her.

Getting only +1 is not a bug. After every gift you give them, it will lose 1 point. So you start with +5 approval and a gift after that will be +4 then +3, ect, until it bottoms out at +1.

Well, shale's favoured gifts are anything with "Remarkable" in it.
The dog isn't even suitable to be gifted, he loves you to death anyways. Well everyone starts with 10+ with their favorite gifts and shale starts with 5. Yet it isn't hard to raise her approval. Lovely vast superior construct.

If, in your opinion, shale is working fine. Good for you. Please refrain from jumping on those who think she is not working fine.
For all other concerned parties:
As to why we sweat the small stuff:
1. We paid for the game, their porting of it to a different medium matters not because I still paid for the game. Related to this matter, I will have to pay more than computer gamers for ME2
2. Forums are designed for that very reason. Patches are not released because, "the game would not play", rather, they are released to fix, "the small stuff". Therein, if we do not make our voices heard at this level, the small items will not get fixed.
3. A preferred gift for the other characters is rarely over 10 silver (you can get one for the witch for .5 silver in camp). The preferred gifts for Shale, however, are insanely disproportionate in price (the only one I've seen thus fare was about 2.5 gold).

Thank you Ernest Ixen for restoring reason to this forum.
When I gave Shale the gift Remarkable Malachite, her approval only improved by +5. Considering that this was the first gift she had received and it is a preffered gift (this is also my first playthrough), this is unusual when compared to other party members.
Also given that Shale's preffered gifts are very expensive when compared to others, I beleive that the approval bonus should be similar to other party members (+10 to start, then +9 and so on).
If this is not the intention of the game's creators then, fair enough. Just make a statement saying that this is not a bug. However, if this was not their intention (which seems to be likely as some people are getting a +10 approval), then I would like to know if this is going to be fixed (presumably via an update if possible), and if so, some idea of when it is going to be fixed would be nice.
(Just to be clear I have the 360 version)

I have the xbox 360 version.
While it is true that you can raise her approval fairly high through conversation choices and your actions (siding with Caradin) as well as completing her quest, the gifts that are supposed to be unique to her (meaning their value gives approval starting at +10 and going down to +6) do not work that way. Seeing as they do on the PC version, and when compared with every other companion and their gifts, I will draw the conclusion that it is a bug until we are told otherwise.
Why am I drawing this conclusion? Simple, a Beef Bone that you get for free gives me the same approval with Shale as a 7 Gold-costing Remarkable Diamond. It simply makes no sense.
I have also tested the Crystal Set bonuses. These do not work. It is said they apply in the Official Guide, so it is not an assumption that there SHOULD be set bonuses.

I have the pc version, just downloaded shale yesterday. When I gave the remarkable greenstone, I got +10 from her, so it's almost definitely a bug if you're starting on +5, flipster77. actually, a favoured gift should NEVER reach +5, +6 should be the lowest it gets... how odd...

Oh, and she doesn't appear at the end of the game, so it doesn't work fine.
I cannot believe i never noticed shes not at the end of the game! Wynne mentions she might travel with her and help her rediscover her humanity, but why the frigg isnt she there in person?
