Can You Ever Make Up With Preston After Nuka World? In Fallout 4, players can develop intricate relationships with their companions like Preston Garvey. The question of how your Minutemen-sympathizing player then can regain or maintain Preston’s favor after associating with raidjson the other.ders applies to this (kinda) scenario. I spent a lot of time evaluating this interaction.
Preston Affinity Explained
Preston’s Reaction to Raiders
Preston’s affinity drops precipitously any time players ally themselves with raiders in Nuka World to the point where it often breaks through into negative values. He changes his tone because considers being collaborating with raiders a disrespectful behavior to what the Minutemen stands for12. However, even if the player goes on to exterminate every raider faction across The Commonwealth and Nuka-World, Preston will still sit idly by so players may find their previous rapport with him all but impossible to recover.
Strategies for Reconciliation
Do Nuka World Before Starting Minutemen
How to do it: Do the Nuka World DLC can then head back into The Commonwealth. Clearing out all raiders and their settlements will allow you to get back in Preston’s good graces down the road. Post Nuka World, return to Concord and speak with him again (potentially offers questgivers for reconciliation)1.
Use Mods to Regenerate Affinity
Mods are great, too; they can make things run a bit easier for players who would prefer that streamlined experience.Fallout 4 (ad) A few mods even touch on the problem with Preston’s affinity requirements, meaning players can fix their relationship without meeting some of those strict terms laid out by the game23. This works particularly well for players who feel like they need to test all of a game’s features and not receive any lasting punishment.
You must complete Minutemen Quest automatically –post Nuka World
Defeat the raiders and you can help restore your relationship with Preston by doing Minutemen quests. Even if his opinion of you takes time to change, executing on the things he values WILL help it rebound (4).
Conclusion
Siding with the raiders in Nuka World will cause you to lose Preston Garvey as a companion for a portion of time, but there are ways to regain his loyalty. Using mods and a bit of finesse when involving the Minutemen allows players to have their cake by eating Nuka World, all while staying on good terms with one of Fallout 4’s biggest ally.
