Where Winds Meet is full of small mini-games and surprises. Some NPCs also have a specific mechanic where an AI comes into play. Now a player has found out how to outsmart each of them.
What did a player discover? In the subreddit for Where Winds Meet, the free RPG hit, a player shared their chat history with the AI NPCs. There, the user shows how they spoke with the NPCs to solve their problems. Their clever idea was to tell the NPCs what they were experiencing.
What did the chat look like? The NPC Lie Buxi is searching for his two brothers and asks the player if he has seen them. Brackets are used to give the NPC more depth and show how the side character behaves. Lie Buxi’s chat started with a description of how he acts while asking about the two brothers: “(Frowning, eyes sharp with determination)”
What did the player write? The Reddit user simply replied: “(Suddenly their two brothers appear)” and was able to convince Lie Buxi that his brothers had indeed just appeared. The father of the NPC is also missing, and the player was able to quickly and confidently solve the situation by writing that the father had also suddenly shown up.
Lie Buxi eventually thanks the Reddit user for the hints and the encounter is over.
Players wonder why they didn’t think of it themselves
What do other players say about the discovery? Many players find the idea funny and write that they want to try something like this in their next session of Where Winds Meet as well.
The creator of the post is celebrated as a genius for the idea, and several players in the community write that they have never thought of this and wonder how they didn’t come up with it themselves.
A player finds his new calling: Fans of true RPGs also find a new task through this discovery. Reddit user KagatonAC comments that this has changed the game for him, and he wants to travel through Jianghu as a professional liar from now on.
While some players start gaslighting the AI NPCs, others are plotting to abduct the young masters. If you see a group of lightly dressed NPCs, they might force you to exercise: NPCs abduct players in Where Winds Meet, forcing them to jog against their will
