So after some reading around today, I discovered that it is possible to upgrade clothing to incorporate ballistic weave. As somebody who finds power armor to be a bit bulky and unwieldy and not at all flattering to my figure, I love the idea of being able to upgrade clothing for better protection.
According to this question by k0pernikusthis question by k0pernikus, Fallout 4 does have a point of no return, past which certain faction quests will be unavailable. Additionally, according to an answer to another questionanswer to another question, this ballistic weave upgrade is only available via a quest from the Railroad faction quest line. Unfortunately, I really couldn't care less about Synths and don't want to join the Railroad for the end game.
So my question is this: if I go down the Railroad quest route far enough to obtain the ballistic weave mod, will I pass a point of no return?
