Does Danse become unavailable as a companion if you join the Institute?
So I was wondering, does Danse become unavailable as a companion if you join the Institute?
Best Answer
Actually, this isn't entirely true. You can follow the BOS story missions up to BUT NOT INCLUDING the mission "Tactical Thinking" without hurting your reputation with any other faction. If you follow their story line that far you will complete the mission "Blind Betrayal" which will remove Danse from the Prydwen (if you haven't already moved him) and will remove the threat of him being eliminated with the rest of the brotherhood if you decide to side with the institute. This mission also rewards you with a set of pretty good power armor so I find it's worth it to follow their story line through Blind Betrayal just to get it.

Answer 2
If you join the Institute then yes - Danse gets killed when you wipe out the Brotherhood of Steel.
If you're just doing the story leading up to joining the Institute then Danse is still available as a companion but your companions don't teleport with you into the Institute when you visit.
