Spoilers! Brenda Glitch
After a long wait for episode 2 of The Walking Dead, near the end i find out i cant finish it because There is no option for Brenda when she takes Kennys Wife hostage. Does anyone know a way to fix this glitch? I go through the door and when i walk forward i get shot and there is no option to talk or anything.

Did you choose to say nothing to Brenda? I did that, and was never able to make it trigger. Tried for at least an hour, then rewinded back to the part with Danny, and chose a different option. After that, I was able to do it several times first try.
I am having the exact same problem. The very first time I entered the house there was dialoge and options about how you could bargain/threaten Brenda.
I could see Mike/Mark (can't remember his name) as a walker at the top of the stairs... but Brenda shot me.
Now when the game re-loads I have no dialogue options and absolutely nothing works. Inching the controller forward just gets me shot.
I rewound to back before you and Kenny sneak out of the barn. no change. There is absolutely nothing that i can do to get the dialogue options with Brenda to repeat. She just shoots me... and if I stand there nothing happens.
If I approach her to where she points the gun at me - I take both hands off the thumbsticks but she shoots me anyway. I can try to hold BACKWARD on the thumb sticks and she shoots me anyway. There is nothing I can do (or not do) to prevent her from shooting.
My right-stick cursor is planted on her forehead. I am not a gamer who relies on "inverted" mouse to be effective.
Just keep trying and try to press the analog stick gently, rather than hammering it with all the subtlety of a Gorilla.
This is whats happening to me, I open the door, walk forward till she tells me to stop, i stop, i talk to her (using the calm option) and then she backs up the stairs, i then do this again...
After i've done it twice theres nothing i can do, the option to talk doesnt come up again and the only thing i can do is walk forwards and i've done it so slowly it took me a few minutes, moving a tiny bit at a time and still doesnt work, she gives no warning, it stops me, she says something like "i didnt want it to come to this Lee" and blows my head off.
I'll try it again tonight to see if it will work but unless the way you do it changes after the first two times then it's definitely a glitch.
I put down my banana before trying again (you know, to absolve myself of your gorilla analogy) and it's hit or miss whether it works (mostly miss)
I'm not a moron, I understand that you have to make sure your cursor is pointed at Brenda and you let go of the thumbsticks when she points the gun at you. The problem is she blows your head off without the game ever providing dialogue options.
Apparently most of you seem to get dialogue options when you're patiently waiting while she points a gun at you. I'm telling you all that even with the cursor pointed at her face and my left thumbstick in its neutral position, I get shot in the face.
Basically there is about a 10% chance I can get past the first time she points the gun. If by some strange stroke of luck the game lets me past the first dialogue option, then there is another 10% chance I can get past the second time. As you can imagine... this isn't an effective way to play the game.
Hope that helps!
I think you guys are being obtuse - there is no place I can put the cursor on her to trigger the interaction. Do you think I would be able to get this far in the game if I didn't know how to move the cursor over the hotspots?
Brenda simply does not pause after pointing the gun and proceeds to shoot you with no opportunity to butt in.
In the rare cases where she doesn't shoot Lee - I can just sit there and stare at her while mulling over the two dialogue options for quite some time. Unfortunately this is a very rare occurrence and does not repeat it self often enough for me to get past this scene in the game.
My point is the dialogue options are not appearing - regardless of where the cursor is and with the left-thumbstick in its neutral position.
The only thing appearing is a bullet hitting Lee in the face.
My cousin beat it and it was her 2nd time picking up a Xbox controller. She didn't even die once.
It's not the game it's you. If she shoots you right when she points the gun at you it means you didn't stop fast enough.
No... If you read my posts it's pretty obvious its a glitch. I did nothing different the second time and it worked after i'd made different choices before the scene.
3 months to finally get episode 2 and a stupid glitch seems to be effecting some people like myself, causing us to not be able to finish the game.
yes i now know that it doesn't seem to effect everyone but to the people that it is effecting it is annoying.
the key is watch brenda if she points the gun at you STOP wait for her to move and put the gun to katjaa's head.
when she has done that then you can move, the reticle pops up when she is aiming at you/lee, yes as the ttg guy has said around katjaa's stomach area.
once she is close enough mike gets her..
Do you try talking to her when she yells at you to stop?
I haven't encountered this glitch, but I'm willing to accept that it could be a glitch that they are legitimately experiencing.
I don't know why people are so offended that others are having a problem.
yup how clear do we have to make it?
open the gate
go up the steps
open screen door
move untill brenda says stop Y U NO LISTEN...
Look on katjaa for the hot spot
lee HAS TO 'reason with her' (top option only).
ONCE the gun is being pointed at katjaa MOVE.
rince repeat. done....
I have tried this a dozen times. I said "Yeah, its me" before walking up the steps, dont know if that is the problem. There are NO options on either character no matter what I do! As soon as she points the gun at me she shoots me.
It is for sure a glitch. I just used REWIND and spared Danny this time, then said I left him in the barn. Got the interaction hotspot this time around every time no problem
Also, I noticed the character keeps automatically walking forward when she points her gun at you. I'm guessing that's the actual glitch, the character gets stuck in the walking forward animation, and so you get your head blown off before you can initiate the dialogue.
To clarify, it's impossible to stop when she yells at you to stop and points her gun at you.
once i figured it out there was no problem, so imo it is down to player error / lack of patience and it's sort of a puzzle.
also the sensitivity maybe to blame or you have faulty equipment if lee moves with out your input...
Try it the way I suggest and post oresults... please
I wonder why?
1. Killed Danny
2. Said to Brenda "Yeah its me"
3. Walked through the door, once she raises her gun to shoot you just get shot no matter what.
Second time around
1. Spare Danny
2. Said to Brenda "I left Danny in the Barn" or whatever
3. Walked through the door, got the hotspots and completed the chapter effortlessly from there.
This should be looked into by the developers as I now have to play knowing I didnt kill Danny.

How many times do you think I did that before using REWIND? IT IS A GLITCH. You cant just tap it and be patient. No matter what you do with the choices I made it wouldn't work. Change the choices, works like a charm. By the way when I did complete the chapter I didnt need to tap it. I could just hold up until she raised the gun, let go and repeat.
