No, they definitely asked the wrong question. If they ask "how can I do [thing]", it assumes it's possible to do [thing]. But if they can't do [thing], the question is invalid, and there is no correct answer.
Honestly, the way you put it, it's like they don't actually want to fix the problem. They just want their solution to be right. Anyone who doesn't tell them what they want to hear is the REAL problem, even if that they want to hear is a lie.
Do you want me to lie?
But they definitely can do the thing, because it's a game of make-believe. Again, this is not hammering in a screw, it's mental systems for deciding how imaginary doings transpire.
I literally just explained a thing you cannot do. You cannot play Dragon Age in D&D. It either won't be Dragon Age, or it won't be D&D. This game of make-believe is still a game with rules and limits, and it can't do everything.
