Update 2: Regarding the previous update, failing quests you never got in the first place may be glitched to not actually matter. what were you thinking? I'd shoot Preston between the eyes myself at this point, but he's immortal due to being a companion choice. And of course, it doesn't matter how ridiculously-fortified each settlement is, someone will always get kidnapped or think raiders can get through missile turrets and guards armed to the teeth. Every other faction I've come across with repeatable quests asks first you if you want to do them. I've read elsewhere that failing those quests results in a permanent happiness loss at the related settlement, but I can't confirm this yet (I will at some point because screw Preston and his stupid quests).

Update: It appears even if you never hear about the quests, you can fail them, which is stupid and has to be one of the worst game design decisions ever made. I managed to do this for two quests in a row, fast-traveling to Red Rocket Truck Stop both times without the new quest registering. Wait a few moments to make sure the new mission didn't register. Fast-travel to somewhere else (Red Rocket Truck Stop will do).ĥ. To be safe, you want to at least stay within earshot for this step or the turn-in XP may not pop.)Ĥ. (If you stay standing there staring at Preston, the Pip-boy seems unresponsive.

As Preston is beginning to speak the first few words of the actual mission, walk/run away from him slightly and bring up your Pip-boy the moment you see the XP reward for the quest you just turned in. He will now say something along the lines of 'I have a new mission for you.' Let him say this first line, otherwise the turn-in XP doesn't seem to pop properly in the next step. He'll say a random thank-you/grats line or two.Ģ. Walk up to Preston and talk to him to start turning in the quest. Via suggestions around the 'nets and some trial and error, I've worked out the sequence to successfully turning in Preston's missions while avoiding new ones.ġ. Basically, Preston Garvey is someone who will give you random quests to help settlers, and instead of asking you if you want to help, he will force each new quest upon you any time you turn in a completed one, or walk remotely near him.

Raiders and super mutants will tremble - if you can get past the bugs!This is a slight spoiler but the odds are, if you are here, you're looking for exactly this information.
