The only skill I have trouble with is the Diplomacy skill, but that was resolved by increasing circumstance penalties by +/- 5 rather than +/- 2. For example, an Arch Nemisis BBEG (-10 circ. off the bat <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ) has the same goals as the PCs (+5 circ.). Furthermore, by forming a truce with the PCs, he can eliminate his superiors to further his own motives (+5 circ). However, the PC's just slain his mooks and his wife (-5 circ., -10 circ.). So, in this case, the Diplomacy DCs are set at +15 over normal.As for DCs going up when I don't want them to know something; yes I do. Certain things can hurt the game if they are revealed through just rollplaying, as opposed to roleplaying. I do divulge small hints on sucessful checks, though.You're right about this topic, though. It's all in the hands of the GM. You should pick a more RP oriented character after you learn about their style and how it meshes with yours.</blockquote>
