Classic puzzle, new approach or just a "two kinds of people" moment? (ttrpg.network)

Guard 2 says: "The other one nothing but lies", which is assumed to be true. From the guard that lies. Was that a lie?

I never liked this riddle. "Am I standing in front of you?" would tell you immediately

The object isn't to identify the liar, it's to find out which path is safe. And you only get one question.

Well you should assume that both guards follow the rules all time. Meaning that the initial setup of the rules cannot be trusted, because who knows if the talking Guard is lieing or not. If one does tell nothing but the truth this must be the one explaining the rules.

However if I remember correctly it was setup that one will answer the truth while the other one will deceive me. Meaning he might tell the truth if it confused me.

So no question might work.
