Thanks to the large delay - before this two-week delay - the team had time to put Shale back in the game as downloadable content - sans the doorway and camera issues. Insult to injury, the mammoth character didn’t play nice with the procedural camera system, either. As the game grew and matured after his reveal, the team behind Origins found an issue, a big-big issue with the character: he couldn’t fit through doorways. Revealed to the press early in the development process, Shale was a massive golem with the same quirks as a typical party member. It adds (among other things) a wide-shouldered party member named Shale, a character that was the cut from the final retail version of the game because he broke it. Dragon Age: Origins ships with downloadable content called “The Stone Prisoner.” The day and date content isn’t a traditional downloadable.
