List of Missables and Points of No Return

Mass Fusion (The Institute)

You will also see the Railroad and Brotherhood of Steel's demise if you decide to complete the game with the Institute. This of course means that Deacon and Paladin Danse will turn on you. However, Danse will not become hostile if you spared him in the Blind Betrayal quest.
