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?

    You've been conditioned by lesser CRPGs to view failed skills checks (and failure in general) as something inherently bad. I'm DE, failures are opportunites to (maybe) find success elsewhere. Also, consider the character your play as -- failure is at the very core of his soul and was ever-present long before your clicked New Game. Accept failure. Embrace failure. Wallow in failure and let it make you strong.
