Wonderful.

The Solid Snake method of conversation has taken on meme status in recent years, as players noticed the Metal Gear icon simply repeated the last few words of anything anyone said to him as a question. As was discovered by 'Hakkix' on Reddit, you can do the same to game the NPCs in Where Winds Meet. If someone asked you, say, to "Find the buried treasure chest," you'd respond by saying, "The buried treasure chest?" and so on. Eventually, the NPC gets so confused that they express their gratitude and end the conversation. Whether that's due to confusion or exasperation is unclear, but the effect is the same.

The effect is the same?

Indeed. <absurdly long wall of expository text>, that's why you must press on with the mission!

Press on with the mission?
