I used to think I was just getting unlucky, because the game tells you you have a good chance of passing this check, but I have become convinced it is hard-coded to fail no matter what.
I didn't do the cryptozoology quest to the end and I felt that the ending let down the whole game.
You go to the island and you meet a character who has never been seen and barely hinted at before, who confesses to the murder without you needing to use the skills you've developed on your character over the course of the game. I don't like that writing. You could say something about "not having a satisfying ending makes sense for a game set in a cruel hopeless world", but that doesn't change though fact that it's still unsatisfying. Having not done cryptozoology and quit drugs, I don't have enough luck to read (what I've been told is) the very important rest of the game's ending, so that's it. Didn't like that.
Oh yeah it’s incredible. I’m replaying for the first time in quite a while. You’ll love the ending tbh

You can totally pass it, I did once even with pretty bad odds. That said, it's much more fun to not pass it lol

When I first played it I did the cryptozoology quest so that probably impacted why I enjoyed the ending more.
