When Scratch dies, you have to reload. We don't make the rules,we just live by them.
That was the hardest test of my no-reload policy in my first playthrough. Well apart from Isobel dying in the Last Light Inn but that one became moot as so did the rest of my party not long after so I had to have another shot and that fortunately went better! But, at the risk of making myself sound like Galadriel, I passed

Or possibly I just proved that my heart is too cold and I failed
