Please tell me it gets better?

Im on my first playthrough of the game and I love it so far. Especially my boy Kim. Im also a horrible save scummer. Which is why I specifically didn’t want to save scum during my (first) playthrough. Ive just failed one 72% and one 83% at the standoff between the mercs and the Hardie boys and now Kims in the hospital and I got Cuno with me now. Nothing against the little brat but I have never been as tempted to savescum in my life. Could someone please tell me, without spoilers, whether I will ever mentally recover from these abhorrent throws of the dice or if I’m forever doomed to wander this beautiful game wondering what could have been?
