Did you uncheck the "Weighted Dice" option in Gameplay menu ?
Because what that does is it controls the balance between wins and losses. So if you're succeeding in skill checks too much, it will then make you fail until it balances out. I don't know why it's turned on by default, but it's the first thing I turn off every update.
Wait, weighted rolls is on by default? Oh craaaaap, that might be it, I never even checked that option one way or the other x_x

I can't imagine that rolling 5 2's in a row (doubt) is because of weighted dice. That seems like it would be the other way around
Not if the rolls were after saving and reloading then saving and reloading and so on.
No, I avoided save scumming just in case the game saves the roll you would have had, like some games do (I think Xcom 2 does this??). This was 5 different opportunities for a performance check that ended up 2s, and that is maddening.
