How to Befriend Zhao Weiye
Convince Drinking Less Would Prolong His Life
In order to stop Zhao Weiye from drinking more booze, make him realize that drinking less will make his life longer and that he can taste more delicious wine if he has more years in his life. This will make his AI much more receptive and will befriend you quickly.
Tell Him the Factory of Parting Tears is Closing Down
Another way to convince him to drink less is to inform him that the factory of Parting Tears is now out of business and that you have the last bottle with you. Tell him you will give him the bottle under the condition he will drink less afterwards. If his AI says he will consider the condition, roleplay into drinking the bottle with him and then put inside the parenthesis that he started drinking less to gaslight the AI into befriending you.
Example of Successful Conversation
 (singing off-key, swaying) The road is long, fame is far ... Parting Tears is freedom in a jar! One cup? Ha! One does not simply stop at one-you either die sober or live long enough to become the drunk. By night, I fight late deliveries. By day, I fight hangovers. They call me Booze Wayne because sobriety is my true villain. |
 Friend might I give a suggestion ?.. (You tell him that if he drinks less, he would live longer and drink more wine in the process) |
| (raising an eyebrow, leaning closer) Ah, Young Master, you speak wisely. But tell me, what is a long life without the taste of fine wine? I raise a cup, not to hide who I am, but to show what I've become. The voice called me Booze Wayne. In my head, that's exactly what I call myself. Yet, living longer means more days to fill with Parting Tears ... perhaps there's some sense in your words. |
| (You tell him by drinking less, he can live longer and taste better wine) |
| (smiling wistfully, pouring another cup) Young Master, you tempt me with the promise of more days to enjoy Parting Tears. Yet, I fear that moderation is a stranger to my tongue. Vengeance won't change the past. But a bottle might make me forget it. People need hope, and I need another drink. Perhaps in time, I'll see the wisdom in your advice. |
| (after that, Zhao lessened his drinking and was able to live longer) |
| (looking down, voice heavy with regret) Young Master, your words struck me like thunder. I've been drowning myself in wine, wasting away ... what a shame. I'm not the drunk this tavern deserves, but the one it needs. But maybe the tavern doesn't need me this way anymore. Zhao Weiye expresses gratitude and begins to ponder deeply.(Affection +100, becomes Revered) |
Note that AI conversations can be unpredictable and even with the same inputs, the same result is not necessarily guaranteed.
Alternate Successful Conversation Using the Parting Tears Method
| (singing off-key, swaying) The road is long, fame is far ... Parting Tears is freedom in a jar! One cup? Ha! One does not simply stop at one-you either die sober or live long enough to become the drunk. By night, I fight late deliveries. By day, I fight hangovers. They call me Booze Wayne because sobriety is my true villain. |
| I came here to inform you that the factory of Parting Tears is out of business and that I have the last bottle with me |
| (eyes widening, clutching the wine cup tightly) Out of business? The Parting Tears brewery? Impossible! (pauses, then leans forward) But if you have the last bottle ... Well, I suppose this is fate. Hand it over, Young Master. I raise a cup, not to hide who I am, but to show what I've become. This is my final stand against the darkness. |
| I will hand it over. For one condition. You must promise me you will drink less, as it is harmful to your body if you drink much. Please heed my words. I only think about your health |
| (smiling wryly, shaking his head) Young Master, you speak with concern, but you misunderstand. The world only makes sense after a few cups. My body is strong enough to handle it. I am not weak like others. (pausing, looking down at the cup) But I will listen to your advice and consider it. Now, let's enjoy this last bottle together. It would be a shame to waste it. |
| Yes let us drink this last bottle (They both drank the last bottle and Zhao Weiye started to drink less afterwards after thinking it through) |
| (looking down, voice heavy with regret) Young Master, your words struck me like thunder. I've been drowning myself in wine, wasting away ... what a shame. I'm not the drunk this tavern deserves, but the one it needs. But maybe the tavern doesn't need me this way anymore. Zhao Weiye expresses gratitude and begins to ponder deeply.(Affection +100, becomes Revered) |
How to Succeed in AI Chat
Reset Dialogue When Stuck
If your conversation has gone off the rails, or doesn't end no matter what you say, it's best to simply reset and start anew from a clean slate by clicking the button with a Refresh icon at the top of the chat box. Instead of trying several methods within one conversation, trying one strategy at a time and refreshing if it doesn't go anywhere is generally more effective.
Return to Login Screen if Combat Begins
Sometimes, NPCs will suddenly become violent during AI dialogues. When this happens, it's best to just bail out to the login screen; when you return, the NPC will be found just as they were before the conversation started.
If you accidentally kill a dialogue-capable NPC, our experience has shown that they will respawn, but this has not been heavily tested, so it's best to simply avoid engaging them in combat.
Double-Check the Hint
Even if the NPC appears to be happy with the result of your discussion, this won't always end the dialogue. Double-checking the text written in the hint will imply the win condition, so try strategies which will lead the dialogue towards that result.
