the wording of the skillchecks during side bets are very confusing and sometimes flat out wrong, like for example when one of my options was:
[3] Study opponent for tells Voyeurism vs. Video Gaming 3 skillcheck: Very Hard
if it's supposed to check my voyeurism skill vs the npc's video gaming skill why is my level (3) in the wrong place?
even worse in this case:
[1] Go on the attack Video Gaming vs. Video Gaming 8 skillcheck: Moderate to 8 skillcheck: Very Hard
what is that even supposed to mean?

It may be confusing, and that's why you think it's wrong. But the first example is definitely correct. That number is the opponent's skill, not yours. It just happens to be the same as yours in the first example.
It kinda just seems like you mistyped the last one, because "8 skillcheck" should absolutely never appear in between the difficulty range. Do you have a screenshot?
for some reason it's not letting me post the screenshot so go here https://imgur.com/Rh2r1BL
That's so weird that I had to check myself. And yeah, it's the same for me now... I think it must have changed at some point and I didn't notice because my current character doesn't care about video gaming. It definitely wasn't always structured that way. I think I was wrong, and it is actually displaying the player's skill... why it changed, I have no idea. This is certainly more confusing than it was before.
