Major Shale Bug/Glitch

Shale's been extremely buggy for me.  The newest one happens in camp.  When I talk to Shale, my character is teleported to an area outside the gameworld and is presented with the "activate golem" or "leave golem alone" options from the Stone Prisoner quest.  Selecting either option updates the (already completed) Stone Prisoner Quest.  I can walk away, but I can't actually get back to camp.  It didn't do this before installing the 1.01 patch.  However, I don't want to rollback because I had some other (significant) problems before updating.  Any suggestions?  I really don't want to stop using Shale--he's very entertaining and quite powerful--but game-breaking glitches are a deal-breaker.

Additional Info: I just tried talking to Shale outside of camp. Same exact problem. I can use him just fine--give him gifts and everything--but I cannot converse with him.

I have this same problem. Additionally, Shale is unable to use skills. When I go back to the village he is acquired at, and have him in my party, when I talk to him it shows him in his frozen position on the hill, and gives me the same options as the first poster mentioned, but neither work, since they just update a quest that is aready marked as completed,

I have the same problem along with some other DLC randomly resetting and I think I found what caused it.
Look at your log file in "My Documents\\BioWare\\Dragon Age\\Logs" and search for:
"OnlineFeatures Entitlements requested."

It usually appears at the beginning of a new logging session followed by "OnlineFeatures Entitlements received" and "OnlineFeatures Enabled AddIn: DAO_PRC_CP_2." a few lines after that.

I found a session before Shale broke where it started normally with those requests but in the middle of playing it re-requested what DLC I was entitled to and only enabled the addins as I was exiting the game. The request happened between a game save and an area transition so it's unlikely I did anything to set it off like going to the main menu so maybe my internet connection died? It could just be a random fluke, but the times seem to match up from when I started seeing problems with Shale and getting duplicate collector's edition items.

Gorraxy, your observations make it sound like the game has the potential to arbitrarily reset itself through the online features. Hopefully Bioware notices this and releases a hotfix. So far I've found a good number of NPCs--and it's clear from the spacing on the party screen that there are quite a few available--but I really like Shale, both as a character and as a combatant, and would like to use him and find out more about his past.

I submitted a bug report. Hopefully this will get fixed soon, though I have my doubts that the fix will repair already broken saves, which is a bummer, since I really like shale, since he is both interesting and incredible useful.

Im having the exact same problem. I dont know if its related, but before it happened I tried to start my game and got a message saying that the game I was continuing included premium content and that someone who has "the stone prisoner" downloaded should be logged in.



I checked, and my profile was logged in. So I tried again, and everything loaded fine without any warning message, but now I cant talk to Shale. I also cant use any warrior skill tomes, but my mages can use mage skill tomes, which is rather frustrating.

I had the same problem, can't talk to shale at camp or another place because I will teleport to nowhere and can't get out. Another Party just fine but shale I can't talk to it now and can't get quest from it.



Need Patch to fix this problem ASAP!

Same here. Probably thousands of others are hitting the same issue. DLC system is completely bugged.

Shale turned into an iron golem at the end. Something tells me this wasn't supposed to happen.

there's a closer look at that adamantine abomination.

yeah the bug is also troubling my game experience..unfortunately,there doesn't seem to be a way to solve it without beginning a new game, or messing with the game console...as others have said,the problem is caused if the game logs out during your game session.goddamit bioware,this is what happens when you over-monitor your customers. the add on is effectivily ruined.

Wow, this bug still hasn't been addressed. It's a pretty big deal when you pay $$ for additional content, and it completely bugs your saved games. I'm having exactly the same problem, and the best fix I've seen is to go back to the last save you have before the problem occurred. Hopefully you have a good save that isn't too far back.



I stopped using quicksave, and I started using a lot of regular saves after I figured this out. Good luck.

Shale was fine for me for a while than this happened. I finally updated with the new patch but still everything is the same. While in the Deep Roads I've also had a teleport happen with this glitch, where instead of being underneath the map after talking, I was a couple minutes back, still with my progress though.

Hi all, maybe my problem is also related. I am in the Fade after meeting Sloth in the Broken Circle quest. I have completed the tasks I need to complete in order to rescue my comrades from their nightmares. When I go to rescue Shale, I can get a statue on my right and a mound on my left although I can see Shale in the distance. All I do is run in place from that point forward. Support told me they can't help in-game play but I don't think this is a problem with me. Ideas?

Never mind. I solved it.

Add one more to the list. I cannot talk to Shale at all. Whenever I do, my map goes black, I get the original "activate" or "ignore" dialogue choices and I am stuck.



Any word on a fix for this from Bio?

I found a solution to this on youtube of all places, but I can confirm that it works. I jus did it myself, and could talk to Shale afterwards.



1. Make a shortcut to the "daorigins.exe" file on your desktop. (located in the Program Files/Dragon Age/bin_ship folder)

2. Add the line " -enabledeveloperconsole " to the end of the shortcut, without the quotes.

3. When in game hit ~ (½ on some keyboards) (you won't see the console but it's there).

4. Type in the following: runscript zz_shl_debug

5. Press enter

6. Click on "Hire Shale"

7. Click on Exit/Cancel

8. Save the game. You can now disable the console if you want.

A response from Bioware would be nice on this issue. I'm having the same problem, along with what seems to be, MANY others. My game was fine until the recent patch (1.02), but I've experienced a ton of crashes now ever since it was implemented.

What worked for me was to:

Enable the dev console

~

runscript zz_shl_debug

Enable all the plot flags

Didn't lose anything and he talks to me again without warping me outside the map.



I also did the hire shale option in the shale debug screen.
