Fact check: Fortress of Meropide was part of Fontaine release 4.0

1. Summary of the results

The original statement is incorrect. The Fortress of Meropide was actually released as part of Fontaine Version 4.1, not 4.0 ^[1]. This is further supported by its connection to the Unfinished Comedy quest which was part of Version 4.1 ^[2].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original statement significantly understates the importance and complexity of the Fortress of Meropide by merely mentioning it as a release location. The fortress served several crucial functions:

• It was administered independently from Fontaine by Duke Wriothesley ^[3]
• It served as a gathering place for exiles ^[3]
• It played a vital role in preventing flooding from the Primordial Sea ^[3]
• It was featured prominently in the Archon Quest Chapter 4 Act 2 ^[1]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The statement contains two types of inaccuracies:

1. Temporal inaccuracy: By placing the fortress in Version 4.0 instead of 4.1, it misrepresents the game's content release timeline ^[1]

2. Contextual oversimplification: While technically mentioning the fortress, it fails to acknowledge its significant role in both the game's story and Fontaine's infrastructure ^[3]

This type of oversimplification could benefit content creators rushing to publish guides without proper fact-checking, as evidenced by the existence of gameplay guides about the fortress ^[4] that might have been prepared before the actual release details were confirmed.
