How do I get out of the institute?

[Famix]

Do I have to finish the main quest? Is this a definite ending? Can I play after the ending?

Do you mean to just leave the building? Fast travel is the only way.

To leave the faction, you would need to betray them by aligning with another faction and completing the main storyline with them- Minutemen, RailRoad, or BoS.

So, I have to fast travel in and out? :/ I don't see a lore version of that.

Also, while we are here, do you think Father is dressed as Farnsworth? I keep expecting him to say "GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!"

Fast travel teleports you. The only way in is via teleporting. Ergo, the fast travel menu is in fact The Insitutes Teleporter.

Well, the only way in or out is via teleportation, so you could assume fast travel is teleporting.

After you complete the main storyline with one of the factions, you can still do other quests but the other factions will probably be hostile to you in some ways, and won't offer quests.

I'm still playing through it myself, and don't want to give too much away from what I've read here.

To clarify a little lore reasons:

Teleporting in and out of Institute takes only like seconds/minutes of in-game time because your character actually uses Institute teleporter.

Fast traveling all arount the map takes much more in-game time ( hours ) because your character "actually" travels by foot from point A to point B.

This leads to a gameplay mechanic. Time critical missions ( like defending some remote settlement or else ) easier to complete by teleporting to Institute and teleporting out to settlement.

Or you can go to the teleporter at the top level in the institue (through the central shaft elevator), push the red button, wait for the 10sec countdown (which actually is 20 seconds long), and then tadaa, you're in frot of the building. The only way in though is with fast travel.

You don't even have to pretend it's teleportation, it literally has particle effects and a bolt of lightning and everything.

Just play a little bit more. I had the same question when I first entered the Institute. After you go around inside the Institute doing a few simple quests you will be given the ability to teleport in and out instantly from your Pipboy map.

Madison Li gives you a chip that allows you to leave.
