What is this about?!? any ideas?

"Octavia decided to be more cooperative and answer more questions..

"At that, she clammed up quick.
She'd had enough of my questions, unless there was something I could do to convince her to be more cooperative."

I have to agree with Reda. Those Impossible cases are awfully picky and I know that before I had all my skills, I didn't even bother trying to talk to anyone that I unclammed on someone elses case. I got it unclammed and gave it back. Otherwise, I'd just end up clamming them again, just as you described.

*thinks this guy needs a facelift 'cause it's awful confusing seeing Ben asking questions about his own game*

I have to disagree with Reda, sorry.
But I never had a problem with a suspect Iīve unclammed with someone elseīs case, they answer at least one question.
And when a townie is clammed up, you canīt unclam him/her.
And when a suspect clammes up, it does not say "decided to answer more questions" but then clammed( at least not to me), but townspeople have done that ( I think business is going bad so they want bribes...)

Hmmm... a real mystery.

Maybe I'll keep track of who's already been unclammed in the next AI case I do, and see what happens when I try to re-unclam someone.

I posted about this in sleuth talk a while ago. I have experienced it enough and paid enough attention to what I am doing when it happens that I don't think it's my fault in any way, not for double clicking, or opening up somone else's case, or anything like that. I think it's just a stupid glitch.

I have had the same problem. But I have also been experiencing not being given the option to intimidate or rule bend. My first time with a townie i attempt to ask a ques and i know I will have to intimidate or bend the rules depending on the detective i am using... but when i ask the question it goes automatically to bribe. Never even see an option to rule bend or intimidate. Anyone else experience this?

Moon lighter, that happened to me a few times with my old laptop... but was always because the mouse would double click of it's own accord.

It happened again. This time, I was revisiting a townie whom someone else in my agency had already asked a whole heap of questions (had Octavia as his contact).

Picking up the case, I go there in order to verify an alabi. I use 'judge of character', and according to that, charms should work:

"Base Intimidation Chance: 56
Tough Equipment Adjustment: -7
Adjusted Intimidation Chance: 49

"Base Rule Bending Chance: 39
Charming Equipment Adjustment: 21
Advanced Skill Bonus: 20
Flirting Bonus: 20
Adjusted Rule Bending Chance: 100

"It would be easier to influence Octavia by being nice."

But then when I use charm, I get the following...

"Octavia decided to be more cooperative and answer more questions..

At that, she clammed up quick.
She'd had enough of my questions, unless there was something I could do to convince her to be more cooperative."

So I think it's definitely related to revisiting a townie. Looks like a bug to me...
