will me being bad at the game get characters killed?

long time cozy game player trying to diversify a bit and i just picked this one up since its on sale on steam.

just finished the first chapter and while im having fun, unfortunately i am terrible. dutch yelled at me for being bad at driving the horse, i didnt even see the guy running that i was supposed to shoot, the wolves bit me, etc.

so i was just wondering, does it matter?

because i dont think i mind continuing on if dying and stuff just means ill have to try whatever section again but if me being too slow at things is gonna get everyone killed/lock me out of things i was thinking about trying mods or something to maybe make it easier.

please let me know! i appreciate yall 🙂‍↕️
