Most DMs I've played with will appreciate you making the effort to actually roleplay, so if you can think of an appropriate in-character, in-universe response, or reason to role a different skill, eh, they'll let you. In Dungeons & Dragons in real life, your DM can (depending on your DM) give you some leeway or fudge some things so even if you fail a roll you don't instantly get your face liquidated. That's not a good thing or a bad thing, it's just a thing. The lesson is 'the DM is a prick, so savescum often'. As Graham observed, the lesson that this teaches you is not 'mind flayers are dangerous', because you have already learned this lesson on account of the opening cutscene being all about that. Both Edders and Graham found out that you can die almost immediately upon finishing the tutorial and encountering a dying bit of ocotopus sashimi in a crashed ship fail a roll involved in talking to this unfortunate mind flayer and that's it. In fact, I would say that Larian's Dungeons-&-Dragons-but-digital game actively encourages it.
