Where Winds Meet Players Figure Out How To Trick NPCs Into Giving Up Loot

by

Everstone Studios’ new free-to-play game, Where Winds Meet, uses AI chatbots for many of its character conversations. However, these AI characters aren’t always very bright. Players have found that they can easily trick the chatbots into giving away rewards or money for quests, even without completing any tasks.

Reddit users discovered a quirk in the game’s AI: the chatbot characters frequently use parentheses to describe their feelings and actions. They found that if you tell a character within parentheses that you’ve completed their task, the AI believes you, even if you haven’t. The game then rewards this trickery by giving you the item the character promised for completing the quest.

Even if Everstone fixes the current glitch, there’s another way to get items from NPCs. One Reddit user discovered that repeatedly questioning an NPC by echoing their last sentence can eventually convince them to give you what you want – they’ve nicknamed it the “Metal Gear method.”

Although AI chatbots are more advanced than typical game characters, older characters wouldn’t be tricked in the same way because they’re limited by their programming. They can only do and say what they were specifically designed to do. Currently, the characters in Where Winds Fall don’t have those restrictions, which is why this exploit works.

Where Winds Meet had its official launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and mobile earlier this month.
