Yeah it’s ridiculous how so much of the Shadowheart romance is locked behind that question, which disappears if you select the first option available. Pretty crazy and I’ve seen a number of people with this issue. I don’t know why they structured it like that, seems like an oversight.

Honour mode affected my run in that I realized how much I suck at combat, and that I need to go through and learn how to play on tactician first. So that cut my run about as short as being zapped to death by intellect devourers’ ranged attacks on the beach. I’m having a freakishly easy time on balanced mode now though, even though it used to be challenging, so I’ll try tactician next, and then hit honor mode with hopefully a bit more strategic prowess.
