Prologue
| Prologue Missables | |

| Quest/Dialog/Items | Point in Playthrough |
| Initial Speech Check | In the first prologue area |
| Security vs Central | After the first prologue area |
| Vintage Cards | In a locker in Security Ops and Central Dispatch |
| Niles' Bits | After the Central Dispatch section |
| Corbin's Quest | By the bridge after passing Initial Speech Check |
Initial Speech Check
Finding the Mechanist Badge will allow you to pretend to be Cadet Robin Mowry. This, alongside a Speech check, will let you convince Cadet Corbin to deactivate any hostile robots. Failure to do so will not only make the robots remain hostile, but will also lock you out of The Cadet's Degrading Dilemma side mission.
A Cause Worth Killing For Walkthrough
Security Ops vs Central Dispatch
During the prologue, you will be asked whether you want to take on Security Ops or Central Dispatch. Choosing to go to Security Ops will lock you out of the Central Dispatch section. Similarly, going to Central Dispatch will lock you out of Security Ops.
Security Ops or Central Dispatch?
Pitchball Card: Nathan Lawter
You will be able to get this card as you go through either the Security Ops or Central Dispatch section of the map. Make sure to get this card before you leave the Prologue.
Niles' Bits
If you choose to go through Central Dispatch, you will later find Niles heavily injured but conscious. If you have Sneak 1 or the Renegade background, you can pickpocket Niles to get some bits from him. He will react to it, but is otherwise fine with you taking his money.

Corbin's Quest
Passing a Speech check during the initial sections of the prologue will allow you to talk to Cadet 4th Class Corbin near the bridge. He will give you the quest The Cadet's Degrading Dilemma, asking you to delete his demerits in a specific terminal.
If you failed the Speech check, he will not give you this quest, nor will he lower the bridge for you. In fact, trying to break into his room will make him hostile, and killing him will have an effect on the main story.

There are two ways for you to get locked out of Inez's questline. The first is if you fail to recruit her before Fairfield gets destroyed, as her recruitment quest happens in Fairfield.
The second is if you already recruited her, but allowed Fairfield to be destroyed. If you react to Fairfield's destruction with happiness, Inez will leave your party forever.

You can easily miss this quest if you leave Eden without talking to Commander Torres, or if Commander Torres dies during your travels.

Fixing Thermal Transfer
During A Complication with the Computronic Cerebrum, you have the option to fix the Thermal Transfer. Returning to the Central Interface without this fix will lock out the option to repair it later, causing the U.E.N.I.A.C. to sustain irreparable damage after analyzing the rift data and thereby angering the faction receiving the Archive.
Tremor Cleaver Focus Grip Mod
The Tremor Cleaver Focus Grip mod is located in the Plasma Reactor room within the Archive Central Interface. Be sure to collect it from the display case after activating the switch near the Bulwark Automech and fixing the reactor, as the Central Interface will become permanently inaccessible after analyzing the rift data.

Reflective Amplification Plating Mod
The Reflective Amplification Plating mod can be obtained after the switch is activated in the last room of the Punch Processing in the Central Interface, and the Punch Process is re-enabled.

The Archive Safe
The Archive Safe in the Priority Control Access Nook contains 856 bits and will become inaccessible once the Central Interface closes. Therefore, make sure to solve the switch puzzle immediately upon gaining access to the room.

Present and Future Company Excluded Walkthrough
Saving the Hostages
While making your way through the Alexandra Monastery in the quest On the Trail of the Traitor, you will encounter a group of hostages tied to a card press machine. Seer Wiley will then give you the option to either rescue the hostages, or leave them to their death.
The hostages will not die until you finish ringing the two bells in the courtyard. Upon ringing the two bells, one of your companions will remind you about the hostages, and that that is your last chance to rescue them. Entering the Observatory without rescuing the hostages will kill all of them.
This choice will have a major effect on the following mission. Choosing to save the hostages will make the Automechanicals in the Greater Tranquility Station side with De Vries. Sacrificing the hostages, on the other hand, will cause the Automechanicals to attack both you and De Vries.
On the Trail of the Traitor Walkthrough
Greater Tranquility Station Point of No Return
Fiends in High Places

Once you complete the main quests in Praetor, you will receive Sins of the Past on the Precipice of the Future, the final main quest of the game.
At the start of this quest, you will regroup with your crew, and a new location called the Reconstituted Horizon Point will appear in the Incognito navigation terminal. You will receive an in-game warning that travelling there is the final point of no return.
Traveling to the new Horizon Point prevents you from returning to the rest of Arcadia, as the quest leads directly to the ending.
