Didn't care. Shale is Shale, a bad ass fucking rock monster that smashes things I don't like.
I thought it was clever. It also was a good and interesting way to be "diverse" or "surprise". Even Shale barely muses the idea and says that it doesn't matter.
This was back when bioware wasn't shit, after all.
>>331873463
I was rock hard.
>>331873463
inb4 /v/ now shits itself and decides they retroactively hate Shale for apparently being a SJW propaganda transgender/gender-neutral pandering character put in by feminazis and queers.
>>331873463
it was kinda surprising. I always thought it was supposed to be an effeminate male.
>>331876120
Nope. For the reasons >>331875956 stated. It's not jammed down your throat as blatant pandering.
>inb4 tumblr defense force shows up
Whatever he is that fucking continuous ground pounding ability and the barrage of stones annihilates everything.
>>331876120
Dude, stfu, Shale was a badass in spite of her original gender. Meanwhile, modern Bioware tries to make their women badass solely BECAUSE of their gender.
Pretty obvious old woman voice
Kinda like being surprised Naoto was female
>>331873463
Whatever gender it used to have no longer matters, it's a rock thing now.
>>331876426
This. Plus the girly things she chats about with the other females in the group.
>>331873463
explains why she was a fucking cunt 100% of the time
>>331875956
>back when bioware wasn't shit
ME1 was already out and DA wasn't good either.
Spot the tortanic babby, Bioware was already garbage.
>>331873463
>>331876626
>implying people didint start seriously hating on bioware after DA2
>being a revisionist
First sign of Bioware being complete retards when it came to the whole butthurt gender politics deal. You can say that it was "subtle" or "well done" but it doesn't change the facts.
I mean, it's a fucking rock golem with no dick or anything else. It doesn't matter you winos.
>>331876626
Bioware has always been garbage, especially their writing with their endless need of having NPCs already know the MC and always introduce themselves as "HEY REMEMBER ME, I'M THE WHINY BITCH YOU MET EARLIER IN YOUR LIFE, WE'RE BEST FRIENDS." I cannot understand why people liked their games.
>>331876438
I say this about necromantic flesh golems in WoW but everyone insists Sylvanas is still worth fucking.
Disgusting maggotty flesh-things.
>>331873463
None. She already had a female voice and way of acting-thinking.
>>331873463
DA:O Non-human like companions
>A dog
>A fucking Golem
DA2 Non-human like companions
>None
DAI Non-human like companions
>None
C'mon Bioware.
>>331873463
>>331876745
DA2 was even worse but you have to be seriously ignorant to see DA1 as a good game. It was shit and the only discussion about it was Morrigan waifuing.
>revisionist
Shut the fuck up, I've called out DA1 for being a mediocre game back then.
Even today people also defend ME1 like it was good because of the trainwrex that was the handling of 3, you're the delusional ones.
>>331873463
Whatever.
Wasn't too surprised. It was good in the sense that it was revealed and then brushed aside. Made more room for the banter between her and Sten, or a mage warden.
>>331876381
DA:O, as much as I loved it, is pay to win. The amount of overpowered DLC content is insane.
The only thing is, no-one cares because it is singleplayer.
>>331877189
There's a word for that: humanoid
>>331877189
DAI had that one creepy elf. Can't remember her name
>>331879469
Yes but some retard would have said "hurr durr golems are humanoids because they have human shape"
>>331879518
Sera. Best companion in terms of damage but one of the worst written Bioware characters.
>>331880590
>one of the worst written Bioware characters.
She's just crazy not bad written.
>>331879518
>>331880590
i think he meant cole he is a spirit or whatever.
>>331876795
Can not remember a single time that happened, The MC in Bioware games were usually already famous with careers behind them anyway so naturally people would at least know OF them.
>>331877553
>you're the delusional ones
Not even that anon, but Bioware didn't get widespread hate during ME1 DA1 time.
>>331875956
>Bioware wasn't shit
Come on now. Let's not forget that Shale was day one DLC that was obviously cut from the game to push pre-orders.
>>331873463
It was supposed to be a revelation, a tweest?
>>331873463
mild surprise
>people couldnt tell immediately from the voice shale is female
really?
>>331873463
It was a "whatever" moment for me, but that might have partially been because I finished the Deep Roads at 3 in the morning and was fucking tired.
>>331875970
Underrated post.
