I love so much about the game, but I get this pit of anxiety whenever a skill check below 50% comes up. I'm trying to avoid save scumming for particularly low checks, but I had leaving any stones unturned.
I'm enjoying the game, plenty, but is there an appropriate mindset or approach to the game to get the most out of it?
Also an aside, i have a question and a potentially minor spoiler for an early quest.

Getting the two signatures for the youth centre, Kitsuragi seemed disappointed once I got the second signature. Without spoiling too much, is this something that will have a negative outcome for the fishing village and/or Kitsuragi's opinion of Harry?
From what I understand you're likely missing an entire books worth of dialogue and encounters based on your copotype and other build choices. For example is your tie talking to you? So if you want to save scum to maximize what you have access to go ahead, you're not going to get everything in one playthrough anyway.
Can confirm. I don't normally like to replay games but I found playing through Disco Elysium a second time equally as interesting as the first because of how much the dialogue differs just from passive skill checks alone.
