Because you get a nice anti"eye" spear. Combine shaft on dead guy with spearhead on bear.

Not really much to say here since it's too open of a subject.

Do you want opinions, spoilers? and if you killed her, absolute kick in your face?

[Vile-Mallow]

He murdered her =)
Good job, lord of murder approves.

[Chaosolous]

You could have left them alone.

[Baphled]

To be fair, you kind of have to go hunt them down if you end up in a situation where you need to kill them. There's NPCs that warn of the owlbear, there's tracks outside the cave, and you can enter the cave and see them. You're approaching an injured wild animal that's protective of their cub inside of their home. Momma owlbear was just standing her ground.

you don't have to fight it. You can talk to it and get it to stand down, and you can even sneak over to loot the useless armor by getting her to look at another character if you want that junk so very badly.

[Silyon]

Unfortunately there's no saving her. Once you see the Cub at the Goblin camp, you'll find she's been killed if you go back to check on her. Terrible shame, but at least you can still loot the spear head.

They kind of dropped the ball with momma owl bear. You are sort of forced to murder her to get the blind spear in act 1 because you can't talk to her and remove it from her otherwise. That really should have been an option.

You can just ignore her and then the goblins will do it for you later. Then you can loot her and turn your righteous fury to the evildoers instead.

A rare case in which I actually approve of murder.

If you have animal speaking you can find out through the cub what the mother actually did by speaking to it during camp scenes and you won't be sad anymore

Or just hear me out, given that you can talk to the owl bear, and you can use animal handling to calm it down to leave, there should also have been an animal handling option to remove the spear as an action instead we either kill her, or let her die to get the spear. I thought the point of a game like this was to have freedom in choices like that. Just saying.

Isn't the spear *inside* her though? I don't recall it sticking out, you'll need a lot of animal handling for that one I think. Maybe some medicine too.

[Darkchromium]

The dialogue states when you talk to her that you can see the spear, meaning it should be able to be pulled out peacefully. I get she dies either way but like for real. It literally says you can see the spear head.
