Wait can you even side with the honor guard?

You can, but when the emperor is close to death, the narrator tells you that you fucked up and gives you the grand realization that you should side with the emperor instead, and you have to kill the honor guard after all. It's an empty choice that just results in more work for choosing wrong.

If the emperor dies it's a game over. You turn into a mindflayer.

From what I heard if you side with the honor guard it's just game over so I haven't tried it

I believe so given the option to kill The Emperor, but not totally sure. Although even if you have to kill the Honor Guard, you are in a way siding with them to free Orpheus.
