Penelope 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 is this a typical woman who canīt make up her mind or what?? lol
(And no double click!!)

It seems to happen most in the almost impossibles. AND I am pretty sure it has even happened when my interviewing skill percentage was 100 or over, which seems to me should make it impossible to get no answer. Unless I am misunderstanding something? Anyone else out there experienced this?

Where do you see your interviewing skill percentage? Is that a subscriber-only feature?

I don't think the interview skill (using judge of character, right?) is exactly a percentage, since folks clam up if your skill total is well over 100. (I've had them clam on AI cases when my skill was over 110) but not usually after they have agreed to answer more questions.
in re the original question, yes, its happened to me too - but only two or three times - so I think its a bug. And it happened on lower level cases - none above incredibly hard.

And to Last Train - no, interview skill determination that Moonshh refers to is a regular skill called Judge of Character, which will compare the likelihood of a suspect talking to you if you use tough vs. charming tactics.
It seemed pretty worthless as a skill in the early days - since most of us specialize in either being tough or charming - not both. But for the VERY hardest cases where witnesses clam on every first question, its really great.
