Forgive the lack of Shale propaganda there were a lot of tags to go through and they were essentially just “Shale is a rock” you can view my rebuttal in the tags of this post

#Merrill#she has outdoor skills and is smart enough to probably cure the zombie virus (via @autisticcole)

#i think merrill is the right mix of pragmatic and compassionate + she can essentially bloodbend which i think means she can avoid infection#for longer (via @umanta)

#merrill because she would have the stoic calmness of someone who hasn't even realised she's in an apocalypse#she'd just think this was normal shemlen behaviour and remain completely unfazed (via @rat-spit-village)

#merrill would not only survive but thrive while studying the zombies and their blood or whatever (via @shadovvheart)

#merrill for sure she has applicable survival skills and is a blood mage (via @lelianaslefthand)

#i think it's not about fighting. every one of these people can fight#it's about who wants it the most and has the skills to achieve it#it's about cooperation the most probably because i think every one of them can live for like a year#except varric#and i think merrill is probably winning it bc she knows how to be in a community properly#has a lot of skills needed to survive#and is very adaptable at least by the end of the game (via @understanding-hold-on)

#cole for a verity of reasons#largest being he would be able to avoid dangerous people since he could sense their hurt before they meet him#and he would also be able to sense people put who might want to help him for whatever reason#biggest issue for him is if he'd be selfish enough to put his survival up front like this#humanish!cole probably survives#sprirt!cole very well might not (via @autisticcole)
