Players Use 'Solid Snake Method' to Outsmart AI NPCs and Skip Sidequests
Players of the open-world RPG Where Winds Meet are exploiting AI-powered NPCs by claiming they have solved riddles or repeating dialogue to skip side quests, using methods similar to the 'Solid Snake' tactic from Metal Gear. This highlights potential flaws in the game's AI design, which allows for such bypasses, raising questions about the effectiveness of AI in creating immersive experiences. Despite this, the game remains popular with over two million players shortly after launch.
