What if Faramir had gone to Rivendell rather than Boromir?
Faramir doesn't try to take the ring at Rauros, so all of the fellowship is together when Saruman's orcs come. The entire fellowship is slain in defense of the hobbits who are captured. Hobbits escape into Fangorn and eventually meet up with Gandalf, but without Aragorn and the rest, Minas Tirith falls and then it's impossible to get the ring into Mordor.
