Episode 4 - Game breaking glitch!
I went to the pawn shop first, then went to the butcher shop. After finishing those and finally moving to the office (this is my second play, got two save files. One for being the big bad wolf, and one for being the reformed nice wolf. This one was the big bad wolf), I ran in to a horrible glitch. During Toad and Bluebeard ragging on Snow, my dialogue options (ALL OF THEM) ended up like this:
At first I was shocked... I did not choose any of the options, and stared in horror and disbelief. I was wondering if Telltale was pulling a creepypasta on me or something. Leaving the option blank the first time, did the silence option, as it should. Next dialogue opportunity pops up, everything is blank again... I wait it out, still trying to comprehend this. Instead of a silence, it chose something else, and I'm not quite sure what, as the choices are blank. This goes on for a short amount of time, until finally it gets stuck on a dialogue. The dialogue cannot be silenced, it will keep opening up another dialogue (blank of course), and choosing something does nothing but re-open it as well. This went on for a couple of minutes until it stopped popping up options, and by this time the camera was not even properly adjusted... the characters stopped moving and talking... just, everything, still. I had to quit the game as there was no hope of it just going through... and I don't intend on trying to give it a second chance unless people need more information on the glitch.
I have reason to believe it was my choice set that Telltale did not account for, thus, the blank choices and broken camera and scene scripting. This is game breaking in that it is impossible for me to progress down this choice line, and I would have to find what choice caused it and not make it... ruining the experience. Please, can someone tell me how to forward this problem to Telltale Games themselves? Is anyone else running in to this problem?

I had this prob on Xbox for episode 3 but all I needed to fix it was a simple reset
Egh... alright... I'll try playing it one more time...
I play it on the PC though, not much different though right? Just a re-launch would do it?
I'll update if it works okay or not. This was the scariest bug I've ever seen.
How... odd. You are correct, it was a bug that seemed to be related to what was loaded in to memory. I'm still trying to work through my head how that could happen... I thought it was just bad logic/scripting... but it worked fine upon restarting the game. I have gotten through the rest of it successfully, I wonder if other people have had even stranger things happen to them. I definitely won't forget this bug anytime soon, but I'm glad it was nothing permanent. Thanks for the help!
