Since 2008, the card game of the anime Yu-Gi-Oh! has had a rule that a maximum of 60 cards may be included in one’s own deck. A German player had gone completely overboard in 2007, prompting Konami to adjust the rules.
What happened? At the official national Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament held in Hannover in 2007, Maik S. participated with his deck. However, it was not the usual deck size used at such a tournament: Maik came with a total of 2,222 cards in his deck.
A photo shows him and his buddy, Tobias H., carrying the cards in a gigantic acrylic box to the tournament:

Was that allowed? In 2007, there was only the rule that at least 40 cards must be shuffled into the deck. There was no maximum limit at that time. Therefore, Maik was allowed to participate with his deck of 2,222 cards.
Maik ruthlessly exploited a gap in the rules. And Konami learned from this: Since 2008, there has been a rule that a maximum of 60 cards may be included in the deck.

Maik reveals the reason why he participated with a gigantic deck at the Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament
Why did he do that? On YouTube, Maik explains that he found the idea funny. With the gigantic card set, he wanted to make others laugh.
To perfect the joke, Maik included numerous cards in his deck that required him to search for additional cards from his deck. You can imagine that it takes a perceived eternity to find a specific card in this gigantic deck.
However, cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! that allow other cards to be searched from the deck require the deck to be reshuffled afterward. So Maik invested even more time in reshuffling his deck.
Did he win the tournament? Maik played a card that required him to reshuffle the deck. The shuffling took too much time, causing him to lose the match. After the second game, he was disqualified.
This proved that the real rules are different from those in the anime. There, a deck of 2,222 cards would have been unthinkable. By the way, there was another change in the German version of the anime that differs from the original: Yu-Gi-Oh! is actually much more brutal than you saw in the German TV version

Gamers love to passionately discuss their hobby, often even before a game is released. It’s not uncommon for opinions to solidify prior to release regarding how good or bad something will be – and whether a new idea should even succeed. Recently, there was such a discussion about Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but this is far from the only game.
In recent years, various studios have repeatedly attempted to try something new and to move away from the formula and the type of game that made the studio famous:
Bethesda has attempted twice to transform well-known role-playing series into an MMO or MMORPG.
Other studios jump on trends that sound promising, sometimes without understanding where the success of a genre actually comes from – at least according to our author Schuhmann.
Such ideas of moving away from what made the studios great and trying something completely different are not always well received by gamers. Fans of the old games often look enviously at the new releases. Sometimes, the new games are even wished to fail outright. This has happened in the past before.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard
The latest example is the new Dragon Age. After a 10-year wait, fans finally received a new installment in the series. There were directly two major discussions prior to release:
Until shortly before release, the squabbling about the game continued to escalate. The lines have hardened. Some gamers wished for a game that is so “woke” not to succeed.

Fallout 76
The latest Fallout is actually what fans of the series have been wishing for all along: a real Fallout with integrated multiplayer. Fallout 4 only managed this with mods.
Fallout 76 was still rejected by a large part of the community immediately upon announcement because it is not only “always online”, but also announced as a survival game.
This is how Fallout 76 is doing today:After a disastrous start, Fallout 76 has worked its way up to a stable position in recent years. The ratings have significantly increased and on Steam alone the game has consistently maintained between 7,000 and 8,000 players (via steamcharts).
Bethesda also continuously delivers new updates and expansions with content. The missing NPCs have been in the game for years, the story continues, and even popular factions like the Steel Brotherhood are included. The latest update delivers an endgame dungeon with the “biggest challenge” for players yet.

After the somewhat clumsy response: “Don’t you guys have smartphones?” from chief developer Wyatt Cheng, gamers had nothing good to say about Diablo Immortal until release. The biggest meme regarding the game: “Is this a late April Fools’ joke?”
This is how Diablo Immortal is doing today: Despite significant criticism of monetization, Diablo Immortal is a complete success. The game has numerous pay-to-win mechanics, yet it has generated a tremendous amount of revenue – a good portion of it from German players.
Generally, the game is quite well received among its fans. Aside from the greedy shop, Immortal is a solid Diablo and free for everyone who simply wants to play it. Diablo Immortal has already experienced 32 seasons.

A player finds what seems to be a great deal for an RTX 4090 for only 900 euros. He claims he wants to take the risk, but everyone warns him against it. In the end, he at least hopes to get his money back through eBay.
Graphics cards are still generally very expensive. For an RTX 4090, the currently fastest graphics card on the market, you pay at least 1,800 euros or more.
It is not surprising that a player explained on reddit that he wants to take a high risk: He orders an RTX 4090 for only 900 euros. He himself writes about it: ‘I thought I’d take the risk and see if [the deal] is real. Hopefully, eBay protects me!’
The buyer hopes for the eBay buyer protection if something is wrong with the offer. eBay itself states: ‘If something goes wrong, eBay ensures that you get your money back, including shipping costs.’
The reactions from players come promptly: Many warn him against actually using the offer and paying the provider. There are numerous warnings indicating a scam:
The price is far too low compared to the market price.
The images do not come from the offer but were copied from another offer on eBay. This can be relatively easily found out with a reverse search.
However, the poster dismisses the first warnings and explains: One must take a little risk in life sometimes. But with so many warnings, the user did not expect that.

Player cancels purchase and hopes to get his money back
How did the matter end? The user eventually got cold feet and canceled the order. He reports this in another post. He writes:
I am a total fraud, I am not the risk-taker I thought I was. Reading all these comments and some of the horror stories that people shared about eBay buyer protection, I got cold feet. I requested a cancellation and shared my story with eBay customer service. I have the chat logs and received a case number to track the case.
I knew it was far-fetched and probably a scam, but I thought it was worth a try because eBay protects me. But now that my doubts about eBay buyer protection are growing, I have weakened and decided to try to protect myself by reporting/canceling the offer. Of course, there is no guarantee that I am safe and will get my money back, but I am doing what I can!
Whether the user has received his money back is not known. At least it would be an expensive lesson he would otherwise have to pay for. Because 900 euros is not a small amount of money, for that you could at least buy a PS5 Pro with accessories.
Herschel “Guy” Beahm, better known as “DrDisrespect”, had a major scandal in 2024 that cost him friends, advertising partners, and revenue from YouTube. However, the former Twitch streamer seems to be able to rely on his viewers.
What is DrDisrespect’s relationship with YouTube? After his permanent ban from Twitch in June 2020, DrDisrespect started streaming on YouTube. Unlike streaming colleagues like Valkyrae and Ludwig, who had lucrative deals with the video platform, he ended up empty-handed: due to his ban, he was available “for free” instead of needing to be purchased at a high price.
As one of the biggest gaming streamers on YouTube, the Doc could at least monetize his channel. However, that also came to an end in 2024: As the reasons for his ban from Twitch became known, the video platform suspended the monetization of his channel: Thus, the streamer can no longer earn money from ads being aired on his channel.
In October, the streamer was able to request a re-examination of his case – but YouTube rejected him. In the meantime, the Doc is relying on the generosity of his fans.
The ban on DrDisrespect was long considered a great mystery.

How does the streamer earn money now? As a result of his scandal, DrDisrespect has lost a large part of his revenue sources: not only did YouTube turn off the money tap for him, but he also lost advertising partners and was kicked out by his own studio.
This leaves the Doc with donations, or “gifts” from his viewers. And it seems that the streamer has maintained his viewers’ loyalty in October. According to data from the site Streamlabs, DrDisrespect received more than $20,000 in donations last month. That’s about 18,000 euros.
The largest donation amounted to $5,000, followed by two donations of $4,000 each, which seem to come from the same user.
As of the current status on November 4, 2024, DrDisrespect has received over $500 in donations from the community this month.
On October 25, the streamer also announced a new merchandise collection (via X). He now has to get by with that until he can appeal again at YouTube in about two months.
DrDisrespect is in a difficult position due to his ban, as it seems that no platform wants to offer him a lucrative deal. After being demonetized on YouTube and a falling out with Kick, the only platform currently in discussion for the Doc is the website Rumble.
Rumble is considered an alternative to YouTube, but with a stronger right-wing political orientation. Similar to Kick, the platform could prove to be a refuge for content creators who are excluded from the “family-friendly” platforms such as Twitch and YouTube. According to the head of the site, Twitch is expected to come to an end soon: Are streaming millionaires about to lose their incomes? Rumble CEO predicts the end of Twitch

Ruffy’s father appears only a few times in One Piece. A fan of the anime wondered if Ruffy and his dad ever lived together. Eiichiro Oda, the creator of the pirate adventure, has now answered this question.
Caution, spoiler: We will discuss here the identity of Ruffy’s father and why they have not met yet.
Who is Ruffy’s father? Ruffy’s father is Monkey D. Dragon. He is the leader of the Revolutionary Army and has little time for Ruffy. His grandfather brought him to Curly Dadan, a female bandit, who raised Ruffy as her foster son.
Monkey D. Dragon is rarely seen.
But even in the moments when Ruffy’s father could have had the chance to greet his son, he stayed in the background. Therefore, one might think that Dragon is a bad father. However, Eiichiro Oda clarifies why he left his son so early and severed the connection with him.
We learn more about the fans of the Straw Hats in the One Piece Fan Letter:

Ruffy and his father had no time together
Why does Ruffy know nothing about his father? A fan was able to ask Oda the question of whether Ruffy and Dragon ever lived together. According to the mangaka, they did not live together at a time that Ruffy can remember. Therefore, his father must have left him early.
As the leader of the Revolutionary Army, he could not risk his relationship with Ruffy becoming known. He did not want to put Ruffy in danger and thus left the family. Oda wonders what it must have been like for Dragon to let go of his family and see Ruffy again in Logue Town.

Ruffy and Dragon encountered each other in Logue Town. Ruffy’s dad stayed in the background, probably not wanting his son to be in danger, even though he himself is now a feared pirate.
What do we know so far about Dragon? At this point, we don’t know much about Dragon. Ruffy’s father was once a Marine soldier. However, he could not cope with the ideals of the Marines, which is why he decided to become a member of the Liberty Army and to found the Revolutionary Army.
There are rumors that Dragon has eaten a Devil Fruit that allows him to control the wind. When Ruffy fled Logue Town from Captain Smoker, suddenly a storm arose that helped the Straw Hats escape. However, this information has not yet been confirmed.
Rasha’nan is one of the bosses from the current raid Palace of Nerub’ar from World of Warcraft. Now, a WoW player has actually managed to defeat this villain solo – and on heroic difficulty!
How is this possible? Player Venn has made it his mission to defeat current raid bosses from WoW: The War Within solo with his Blood Death Knight. About two weeks ago, he had already conquered the normal version of Rasha’nan, and now he has tackled the considerably tougher heroic variant of the villain from the Palace of Nerub’ar.
On YouTube, the player explains how his starting situation and strategy for the fight were:
The Death Knight has an item level of 632, with 540,816 stamina and 62,095 armor.
Thanks to Flask and Rune, he could build almost 20,000 versatility. Additionally, there is 5 percent more damage and healing through the buff “Severed Threads”.
His talent and equipment setup focuses entirely on reducing incoming damage.
Especially dangerous on Heroic is the Web Breaker, as a solo player can quickly be pulled off the platform by the attack. Venn could only counter this by maintaining as much distance as possible from the boss in time. This way, he landed right next to the boss after being pulled in.
For the Web Breaker and other attacks from the boss, Venn urgently needed defensive cooldowns. Having these available at the right moment was crucial for survival.
As soon as the boss enters enrage, he uses his attacks more frequently, and dangerous debuffs last significantly longer. Without an Anti-Magic Shell at the right time, it would not have been possible to survive certain phases.
It took Venn about 50 attempts to successfully implement his strategy. The kill attempt lasted almost an hour and can also be found on YouTube.

Historic Success
What makes this success so special? According to icy-veins.com, it has been about seven years since a player managed to defeat a raid boss of the current tier level on heroic difficulty. During the Legion expansion, this feat was accomplished by the WoW legend Rextroy on several bosses.
Rextroy is one of the most well-known players from World of Warcraft:
How does the community react to this achievement? On Reddit, the related post received over 950 upvotes.
Starym praises on Reddit: “Some really impressive moves by Venn, as he explains everything in a video and also shows the entire kill. Of course, he plays a Blood DK.”
isospeedrix is excited (via Reddit): “I can’t even solo a boss from the previous expansion, and this guy manages it with current content.”

GTA 6 had to take a deep blow at the end of 2023: There was a huge data leak that revealed a lot about the game. An insider at Rockstar Games claims that the head nearly postponed the reveal out of frustration.
For years, Rockstar Games and Take Two remained silent about GTA 6. This has led to much speculation surrounding the highly anticipated video game.
On November 7, 2023, the planned announcement of GTA 6 was taken away from Rockstar Games. Journalist Jason Schreier from Bloomberg magazine revealed on X, formerly Twitter, that Rockstar plans to announce GTA 6 soon and wants to release a trailer in December.
You can watch the first trailer for GTA 6 here:

Delay to “annoy” a journalist
Sam Houser, co-founder of Grand Theft Auto, actually wanted to be the first to announce the game. He was so upset about the previous leak that he seriously considered postponing the announcement.
Data analyst Tez2 said: “I remember that [Sam Houser] wanted to postpone the announcement in November by a week just to annoy Schreier, but he was dissuaded from that.” (via Dexerto)
Whether Tez2 is telling the truth cannot be fully verified.
Shortly after, the trailer itself was also leaked, forcing Rockstar Games to bring forward the reveal of the trailer to avoid falling behind. Since that trailer in December 2023, there has been no new information, except that the game is set to be released in 2025.
How does the community react? On reddit, Tez2’s information was posted. The comments believe what is described and understand Sam Houser’s reaction:
RedAfroUchiha: “Sounds typical for Sam Houser lol.”
Onaip314: “Yeah, it must be annoying when everything is spoiled by people on the internet. I would bet this is true. Sam going completely crazy in his office, lmao”
gerhudire: “If I were Sam Houser and it was about the second trailer, I would intentionally leak false information to Jason Schreier just to see if he publishes it.”
What is the consequence of the leaks? Since players haven’t received news otherwise, such as in the form of screenshots, they are dissecting every frame of the trailer, and the pressure on Rockstar is increasing immeasurably. Earlier, a GTA launch seemed much more relaxed.
On Steam, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a major and controversial topic. Almost unnoticed, at least here in the West, the new role-playing game Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven (Steam, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch) was released a week earlier. It currently holds an outstanding 96% positive reviews on Steam and comes without any controversies. Even on Metacritic, players rate the new JRPG even better than critics.
What kind of game is Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven?
The game was released on October 24, a week before the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. It is a classic tactical role-playing game from Japan that focuses on combat and the development of heroes.
The special feature of the battles:
You control 5 characters that attack in turn-based combat.
After each battle, you regain full health points.
However, you consume “mana points” during a run. Whenever you heal, cast spells, or use special abilities, you use this resource. However, there is a reset before boss fights.
Each character also has a certain number of health points, one of which is consumed when they drop to 0 HP. If they lose all health points, they are permanently dead.

Romancing SaGa 2: Release Trailer for the Remake of the Role-Playing Game
Focus on combat and hero development
What do you do outside of battles? The game is heavily focused on combat. When you are not fighting, you do light running and story work, maybe searching for hidden collectible chests in side quests, crafting some preset items, or expanding your kingdom.
These are all things that you don’t need a guide for, but can play through on intuition – at least in the “normal difficulty mode.” There are also two alternatives: “Easy” and “Classic (Hard).”
The game’s focus is clearly on the combat system and the development of your heroes.
This is what makes the game special: The role-playing game is divided into several chapters, with over 100 years between each in the game.
Since it would be unrealistic to play with the same characters, the playable characters change from chapter to chapter – but remain as “archetypes.” The new archer in your team that you can take on missions has the same stats as the old one.
Your character undergoes a special evolution, as you can choose between different classes with each generation, slowly building your superhero that combines the traits of various classes.
Where does the game come from? The game is actually a 31-year-old classic: It was released in 1993 for the Super Nintendo, back then as a 2D game. It is the fifth part of the “Saga Series.”
The game is now a 3D remake announced by Square Enix at the Nintendo Direct.
96% positive reviews – especially the Japanese love the role-playing game
How is the game received? On Steam, the game is being discussed enthusiastically: It has 96% positive reviews, with the vast majority coming from Japan (41.27% of the reviews on Steam are in Japanese, with 98% positive ratings).
In German, the game has only received 9 reviews, but they are all positive.
Players say: This is the best remake they have ever played. Although the shallow story is criticized, the clever combat system and motivating monster design are praised.
Free demo on Steam helps you make the purchase decision
How does MeinMMO editorial director Schuhmann like it? I discovered the game over the weekend and spent about 13 hours on it, so I am around level 20. I initially downloaded the free demo (via Steam), but realized after 20 minutes that it is a game I want to play seriously.
I find it very varied and enjoyable to play so far. For me, it is crucial for tactical RPGs that the battles are quick and satisfying without major interruptions and fiddling around. The JRPG does this wonderfully – and I find the development of the characters and the presentation of the game excellent.
“The anti-Dragon Age”
Even though it is highly rated, the game is currently flying completely under the radar while all attention is focused on the polarizing Dragon Age: The Veilguard. On Steam, it peaked at 16,419 players.
A player has built his first gaming PC. In his post, he explains that he is really proud of his achievement. Until now, he thought that building it would be too difficult. Many people feel the same way and prefer to buy their gaming PC ready-made.

PC building is often considered complicated
Some players in the community like to refer to building computers as “Lego for adults.” Because, basically, you’re just putting “components” together and hoping that the machine starts without any issues.
However, there are plenty of hurdles that the player also mentions in the post. The components must fit together, and having a bit of knowledge about pricing also helps.
The biggest hurdle is, however, one that he does not mention: When something goes wrong during the build. The PC does not start on the first attempt, and then troubleshooting begins. A beginner can quickly feel overwhelmed, while an expert quickly realizes that the RAM is not properly seated in the slot or that the CPU is not connected to the power supply.
Some mistakes can cost you hundreds of euros if you’re not careful. If problems do arise, it is always helpful to have a friend or acquaintance who is knowledgeable about the subject and can assist with troubleshooting.
With a pre-built PC, you can usually be sure that the gaming PC you ordered will work. However, you typically pay more for a pre-built PC than if you were to build it yourself:

Which skin will Faker choose? He is keeping that open. Faker says, once again, that the fans will decide which skin he will take. This will lead to a poll on social media.
Since Faker was voted MVP of the finals, he will receive an additional “prestige skin” from Riot Games.
Which skins could he choose? Faker has played 17 games in total in the group stage of the LoL Worlds 2024 and selected 7 different champions. He can only choose from these 7 champs (via lol.fandom)
He has played Sylas 6 times, Ahri 4 times. Yone 3 times and Galio 2 times, including his outstanding performance in the final. He has played once each on Neeko and Akali.
Of the mentioned champions, Faker currently has only one skin: Ahri. This is the controversial, very expensive skin.
What skins does Faker already have? Faker is in the situation that he has already become world champion for the 5th time and is regarded as the “face of LoL.” He already has 7 different skins (via Dexerto), four for the wins of world championships, three because Riot has gifted them to him for his outstanding position in LoL and wants to profit from him:
SKT T1 Zed (2013)
SKT T1 Ryze (2015)
SKT T1 Syndra (2016)
T1 Orianna (2023)
Risen Legend Ahri
Immortalized Legend Ahri
Risen Legend Leblanc
If the Worlds 2024 skin and the Prestige skin are added, Faker will have 9 skins and thus more skins than 63 champions in LoL. At the LoL Worlds 2023, there was quite a commotion about Faker’s skin. Because this “I let the fans decide” did not go as originally planned: LoL: Faker changes his skin again for Worlds 2023 – Some fans are devastated

Yoshida then apologizes for his “inappropriate presence”. He wishes the players would give him a healthier appearance.
How did the beta go? Last weekend, interested players were able to try out the beta of Monster Hunter Wilds. In the first 20 minutes, over 360,000 players had already entered the title and were likely just creating their characters. By comparison, the all-time high of its predecessor Monster Hunter: World is 329,333 simultaneous active players on Steam.
Thanks to the Free2Play payment model, the barriers are very low to at least try out Throne and Liberty. But how many have taken advantage of the offer so far? Amazon Games reveals the “Player Count” after one month.
How many players have played the MMORPG? According to a post on X from Amazon Games, 4,527,940 players have played NCSoft’s new online role-playing game in the first month. Since it refers to the “Unique User Count”, the number of created characters must be significantly higher. For comparison: On October 7, 2024, there were still more than three million players.
Additional statistics from the developers:
The total playtime after the first month was 133,087,895 hours.
Malakar is the deadliest boss of the first month, with 4,067,330 defeated characters.
85,167,335 characters have fallen victim to a PvP confrontation.
227,778,039 contracts and 996,908,442 quests were completed in the first month.
Wolves, Gallu Knights, and Black Bears are the enemies that were defeated the most (each over 100 million times).

Player ratings increasingly positive
How many players are currently playing? This question can at least be answered for Steam. According to steamdb.info, there were at times 173,309 players online in the MMORPG within the last 24 hours. The number has halved since the all-time high at launch (Peak: 336,300 simultaneously active Steam users).
This significant drop in player numbers is completely normal and can be observed in almost all online games during the first few weeks. However, it is exciting that Steam users’ reviews are increasingly positive.
While the average rating for the overall period on Steam is still “Mixed” (68 percent positive), reviews from the past 30 days show “Mostly Positive” (72 percent positive reviews).
Since the announcement of the relaunch for the MMORPG for League of Legends, there has now been the first official update from Riot CEO Marc Merill regarding the ambitious project.
What does the chief developer reveal? Marc Merrill – co-founder, Chief Product Officer, and Co-Chairman at Riot Games – provided the first update on the LoL MMORPG at the League of Legends Worlds Finals 2024 since the announcement of the relaunch of the project in March 2024.
When asked about the MMO by moderator Caedrel, Merrill explained (via YouTube): “We are working hard on it. This is the project where I am currently putting most of my time. I believe the team has found a great direction now and has been able to build a lot of momentum. We are very aware of the high expectations placed on us, and we are doing everything we can not to disappoint.”

thirex reminds on Reddit: “They just hired Orlando Salvatore, the man behind Plunderstorm and MoP Remix from WoW. On his Twitter account, he is listed as Engineering Manager @RiotGames for the MMO.” You can find the proof on X.
What else is known about the LoL MMORPG? Due to the relaunch, it remains unclear what of all the information that Ghostcrawler revealed about the MMORPG project over the years is still valid. At the relaunch, the responsible parties stated that they wanted to clearly differentiate from current representatives of the genre.
Chappell Roan is a successful singer from the USA, known not only for her music but also for her spectacular outfits. In a recent video, she looks like she has stepped out of a video game like Baldur’s Gate 3.
Who is it about? Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, aka Chappell Roan, is an American singer-songwriter known for her striking makeup and impressive costumes alongside her music. Her style is inspired by drag queens, but video games could also be an influence.
Because the singer is also an avid gamer: she particularly enjoys Zelda games on her Switch, and she swears by The Sims 2. So, it might not come as a surprise that Chappell Roan’s outfits sometimes look as if she has stepped out of a video game herself.
Such as in a recent promo video for the sketch show Saturday Night Live.

What kind of performance is this? Chappell Roan will perform on the evening of November 2, 2024, as part of the 50th anniversary edition. For this occasion, a video has been uploaded to the official YouTube account of the show, featuring the singer with comedian John Mulaney.
The entire video is not available in Germany, but through clips on social networks, we at least get an impression:

What kind of outfit is this? Chappell Roan is wearing a costume in various shades of green, which stands out mainly because of the huge artwork on her head. The shape of the hat immediately reminded MeinMMO editor Lydia of Atraxa from Magic: The Gathering (via MTG Wiki).
Otherwise, the outfit consists of a type of bodysuit and a belt to which several elements are attached. The cut also resembles some armor for female characters, which may look a bit impractical, but it looks incredibly cool.
You could also imagine Chappell Roan as one of the characters from Baldur’s Gate 3 for whom players would start a petition to recruit her as a companion.
Others are reminded of a JRPG. There, you would be able to add the singer to your party only late, but she would already leave a strong impression during previous encounters with the player, claims a user on X, formerly Twitter.

The lighthouse in Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a central location in the story. We explain why you shouldn’t ignore it outside of the main story in this article.
Attention spoilers: In the article, we reveal what the lighthouse is and what can be found there. If you don’t want to know anything about it, skip the following.
What is the lighthouse? After the prologue of The Veilguard, you end up in a designated area called “The Lighthouse.” It quickly becomes clear that this is the hub of the game. In other words: it is the group’s base.
The playable character Rook, as well as all companions, have their own rooms where they keep their belongings and can customize them to their liking. From the lighthouse, you often set off on quests or discuss plans with your group.
However, those who rarely take a break and return there miss some important moments in the game.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard – How to Solve the Statue Puzzle and Open the Music Room
Getting Closer with the Companions
What is there to miss? In the lighthouse, the group spends its quiet moments away from battles, exploration, and dramatic story highlights. Therefore, the companions have quite a bit to think about. Fortunately, they are very communicative with Rook and appreciate it when you listen to them.
If you take a look at your map in the lighthouse, you will see the symbols of your companions. They indicate where the characters are and if they want to talk to you. The game distinguishes between three categories:
Time-sensitive conversations: You can recognize them by a gray speech bubble. Take notice of them and get to know your companions better. However, these conversations disappear after a while if you don’t take the opportunity.
Important conversations: A yellow speech bubble indicates that a companion has something essential to share with you. This allows you to have a direct influence on the companion’s personal story – for example, persuading or encouraging them to do something.
Quests: New tasks are indicated by an exclamation mark. If you want to experience each companion’s personal journey, you should take on these quests and play them in order.
Companion quests and all other conversations are optional. You do not have to complete them to finish the game. But let’s be honest: if you ignore these additional contents, you’re missing out on a big part of the game.
If you complete the companion quests, you will get to know them better and build a connection with them – which can even lead to a romance.
How often should you visit the lighthouse? If you’re unsure how often you should visit the hub, it’s advisable to do so briefly after each quest. This way, you can quickly check the map to see if there are new conversations or tasks.
True role-players would anyway return to the safe haven after completing a quest to recoup their strength before continuing. Once refreshed, they can embark on new adventures. If you need further assistance in this regard, feel free to visit MeinMMO: Dragon Age: The Veilguard – All Guides

In a new game on Steam, it’s up to you to profit from the poor souls who end up in hell. To do this, you search on the surface for employees whom you recruit in a very harmless manner.
What game is this about? Sintopia is a mix of a building game and a god simulation. You are the manager of hell and earn your money by “recycling” souls for heaven. In the meantime, you influence the overworld and ensure that you never run out of souls to punish.
Currently, there is only a trailer and a few screenshots of Sintopia on Steam. The game is expected to enter Early Access in 2025.
You can watch the official announcement trailer here:
Start video
Sintopia: First trailer for the mix of city-builder and god simulation
Turning Purgatory into a Business
What does the trailer reveal about the game? To purify your hellish residents of their sins, you need experts: The “Greedologist,” for example, drives the greed out of the souls. The same applies to the other 6 of the 7 deadly sins that you will encounter.
For a game where you literally create your own hell in Sintopia, it is designed with a lot of humor. The character design is quite cute, and the game doesn’t take itself too seriously. This is also reflected in the methods of purification:
Lecherous souls are subjected to an unattractive pole dance number
Those who have succumbed to gluttony are surrounded by fast food and sweets but can never reach them
A soul is locked in a dark room where it seemingly can do nothing but watch movies and series on “Hellflix”
After their stay, the souls are reborn and sent back to the overworld. In contrast to hell, which has an 80s look, the overworld is designed in a medieval style.
Where does the god simulation come into play? If you want, you can make the lives of certain individuals in the overworld a living hell – accidents happen, and wooden houses burn quite well. This might even earn you a new soul, which you can use to make money again.
However, be careful to maintain a certain balance in the extent of corruption. If too many sins accumulate in the overworld, a demon invasion will occur. And those are, as every good manager knows, bad for business.
In contrast, another building game on Steam seems to be quite good for business, and not just for the developers: A CEO even provided his employees with free copies of the game so they could learn something for their work.

You can achieve different endings in Dragon Age: The Veilguard depending on how you make decisions throughout the game. However, you will only have one option if you complete certain tasks beforehand. MyMMO reveals how you can see the secret ending.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard: 4 Tips I Wish I Had Known Before
What is the secret ending? At the end of The Veilguard, you defeat the elven gods and must sever the connection to the Veil again. However, you need another god instead of the now-fallen one.
The only other tangible elven god is Solas, or the Dread Wolf, who accompanies you throughout the entire game. By default, you only have the options to fight him or trick him into binding himself to the Veil.
However, there is another option: If you have previously engaged with the story of Fen’Harel, you can “redeem” him. He will then voluntarily go into the Veil to atone. This requires some preparation.
There are some prerequisites you must fulfill for the secret ending. Firstly, you need the “approval of the Dread Wolf.” You gain this by not being too hostile in conversations with Solas, instead showing him that you are willing to make tough decisions.
In addition, you must complete the quest “The Dread Wolf’s Regret.” You will receive this after you have found six wolf statues. One of these statues can be received during the campaign from the Inquisitor. The other five can be found in Solas’ memories at the Crossing.
Once you have all the statues, you need to place them on pedestals in the common room of the lighthouse. Each time, a cutscene will be triggered that provides important information about the Dread Wolf’s background.
After the sixth memory, you will be called back to the Crossing. There, Morrigan awaits you with the next part of the quest. She reveals that part of the elven goddess Mythal lives within her and a fragment of the goddess can be found at the Crossing.
To convince Solas to do the right thing, you will need Mythals help. Morrigan gives some hints on how to obtain it.
Convincing Mythal – This Is the Solution
If you follow the quest marker, you will find the ghostly elven woman in the designated area. You then have the opportunity to speak with her. If you choose a wrong answer, Mythal will get angry, and you will have to fight her in her dragon form.
This must not happen.
For the best ending, you must convince her without combat; only then will she assist you sufficiently later on. The following conversation options will lead to Mythal helping you:
“I want Your help.”
“We have to stop the corruption.” => “You have fought against it.”
“We must stop the gods.” => “You have been wronged.”
“Solas is helping me.” => “Forget him”
“We are worthy.” => “It means creating a safe place.”
The fragment of Mythal will then feel “alive” instead of “painful,” and you will receive support from Mythal in the fight against the corrupted dragon and against Elgar’nan.
In the final decision of the game, you then have the option under “More” to convince Solas with the help of Mythals fragment.
Unlocking the Secret Cutscene – What You Need for That
In addition to Solas’ redemption, there is another secret. After the credits, there is a secret scene where a mysterious voice talks about their plans. Who exactly that is remains undisclosed.
To see this cutscene, you need to find three strange, floating discs in the game. The discs are located at the following positions:
There is a third secret scene that you can only unlock under very specific conditions. In this scene, Solas is not only saved at the end; he goes into the Veil with his beloved to endure together.
To achieve this, you must make the right decisions during character creation. Once your character is created, you need to adjust your Inquisitor accordingly:
The Inquisitor must be female and an elf.
Solas must be designated as the Inquisitor’s partner.
You must select that the Inquisitor tried to save Solas rather than hunt him.
Then, during the story, you must talk to the Inquisitor about Solas and convince him that Solas can be saved. For this scene, you will need the same prerequisites as for the “regular” secret ending.

At the end of The Veilguard, you will still have further options available, such as which companion takes on which tasks. Depending on how well you get along with your companions and how strong the factions have become, you will have a better or worse ending.
