Moraelin Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Dude. Just send him to an obscure settlement. Honestly I gotta wonder about ya'll with your weird obsession with deleting or killing or maiming Preston when he can easily be ignored. Is it cuz he's black or what? No. It's because he's the only one who's officially your subordinate, yet DOESN'T ASK before sending you to manage yet another band of idiotic settlers. I mean, even Rhys who's your military superior (before you get promoted) ASKS before adding yet another quest to your map, and you can say "no". So does Danse, who's officially your superior officer until very late in the game. You can also refuse quests from Desdemona and Carrington, who are technically your superiors in the Railroad. Or you have to actively ask for a quest from Ada or the Mechanist, even though those roaming killbots are a bigger problem than the idiotic entitled "omg, a couple of friends want to move to Taffington, but there are mosquitoes there" settler quests you get via Preston. Well, how about they move somewhere else, fer fork's sake? I assume that someone at Bethesda imagined that EVERYONE will be EXTATIC to play their idiotic Minecraft implementation, and couldn't POSSIBLY ever want to say no. For no actual rewards compared to not doing that, to boot. Uh, well, no thanks. That said, even as dumb trolling goes, going straight for the "it's racist" card about an annoying NPC is kinda stupid. Do try to engage the brain and at least try to understand what's being discussed before jumping straight to the trolling, ok? The implication is... what? That although I have no problem playing a dark skinned arab-themed hashashin like this, and posting images about it: ... or actually make a mod to prance around with a companion looking like this: ... the moment I hate one annoying character that you don't, it has to be racist? Kinda should be your clue that you're talking out the rear end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually poke fun at them. Once. When they persist, I ignore them because they can never be taken seriously. Hey, I don't even take myself seriously, so, why should I privilege trolls? Meanwhile, we're trampling all over Stronglav's potential burial grounds. Maybe start dancing around the campfire to appease the ancestral ghosts.

dark47 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Preston can be a PIA, but after the Tenpines Bluff settlement and he promotes me to General, I just run around the map, building up the settlements I can without him sending me to them. I talk to the settlers there (if there are any) and a lot of times, I'll get the quest to open up the workbench without having been sent there by Preston. Some you even get from the radio after you have the Castle. This way he isn't nearly as annoying as he would be if I'd talk to him after each settlement. Works for me. And If you're in a hurry and the setlers don't give you the quest, you can always just kill them and take over the settlement. I usually try to avoid this, but now and then I want to play a charcter that sn't a complete goodie-goodie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moraelin Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Yeah, these days you don't have to report back to him, if you take the quest directly from the settlers. Kudos to Beth for fixing that, but that wasn't always the case. In the beginning, no matter who you got the quest from -- settlers, radio, doesn't matter -- you had to report back to Preston like you're his subordinate. And watch him give you more orders. A lot of the ill will towards Preston was built before that change, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
