I am using the xbox360 and when "Persuading" characters I am unable to exit out of Persuade, my "B" button never highlights. I was wondering if this is a bug (anyone esle with this problem?) or if I had to have a certain level of personality.

You have to keep persuading until the game let you out!

You need to complete a full round of the persuasion mini-game before you can exit out.

Even if it cost you points, you can't stop the game
until your finished. Then each time you do it you will get better at it until you average between
96 & 100 every time. But it does take a few dozen tries to get good at it every time.

Awesome! Thanks for the help!
