I agree, playing with the owlbear cub is worth dying for.
Iattempt honour mode atm too. I fought the spider queen and it was hard, but doable on level 3 and then got a heart attack, because my game crashed in the House of Hope - first meeting with Raphael, not 3rd act and I thought, that my run was over. But luckily, crashes don't count. I was happy that I had saved though, because I had the most lucky run against the harpies just before meeting Raphael - no one got charmed and the boy lived.
