Do I lose companion perks when I side with a faction?

[zynchronise.]

For example, if I side with the Institute, will I then lose Paladin Danse's Know Your Enemy perk as he is a member of the Brotherhood?

I kinda figured I was going to lose him as a follower, but I don't know whether to bother earning Danse's perk before finishing the main story missions. I won't if I'm only going to lose the perk anyway!

or you can just play the game, ride the wave of enjoyment that is fallout 4... and see where you end up. you have 117 hours already, so you got the time.

The game says the companion perks are permanent so i guess not.

I enjoy getting as many perks as possible.

Thanks, Blackice010.

I would still like to know if there is a way to keep him as a companion AND join the institute

Nope, not unless you mod the game.

Damnit.
And there's like no independent ending outside of any faction?

You can keep Danse AND join the Institute.

But, but how? do i just have to keep doing brotherhood quests until i get him maxed out my relationship with him?
I have a lot of charisma like 8 or 9 and there was something about him wanting to kill himself not going to spoil more and that you needed to pass a speech check to make him NOT do it.
But would you happen to know the exact thing?

[zynchronise.]

I don't know that your charisma affects whether or not he stays with you.

If you continue the Brotherhood quest line, you'll eventually reach a point where you can convince Danse to stay with you regardless of your final decision. I won't say more, but I didn't have to do anything special.

Thx.

That is only if you side with the Bos completely. Meaning you lose X6. There Is no way to complete the story with every companion. All of the perks are permenant unlocks. If they weren't I wouldn't have wasted time cherry picking the perks I wanted for my build so I can use lone wanderer end game.

No. I sided with the Institute and still have Danse as a companion. You can keep him if you play your cards right.
