So I've been having a run of bad luck in my current game. Even having good bonuses to checks, I've failed about 80-90% of them. it's been bad, but I"ve been trying to power through it instead of loading/saving constantly. However, I just had a check fail that should have been a basically guaranteed success, and it caused EVERYONE in my party to get disapproval.

This pissed me off to no end because I had no control over it - it was based on chance. I don't think Approval/Disapproval ratings should be tied to checks unless they are checks specifically toward the party member. This wasn't. This was just something my character was interacting with on his own - but it failing caused everyone in the party to get disapproval. for a failed check. This is not okay. I don't even know what the approval system effects yet, but it is really aggravating when I am afraid to do checks because I don't know if it will effect my party's approval.
