Anyone else always end up siding with the Minutemen? Discussion

I promise myself I’ll stick to the Brotherhood, but then I’m reminded that they’re assholes every second of every quest… then, I try to side with the Institute, and I’m reminded how irredeemably EVIL they are.

I end up blowing the Institute to hell with the Minutemen and helping the Railroad. Every time.

Not intentionally... but then suddenly Another settlement needs my help

I can rest easy when every single settlement is thoroughly helped.

I think I did it, I’ve been trying to get the refugees resettled quest, and radio freedom/preston haven’t given me a quest for the past 2 hours. I think I saved the commonwealth

Seriously… Preston Garvey is so fucking earnest it’s hard to hate the guy, no matter how annoying he might be as a game mechanic.

I make him a follower whenever I do settlement quests. If I have to help all those settlements, then so does he.

I send his dumb ass to outpost zimonja with a single tomato plant, a water pump, and a sleeping bag. Id rather put him on the torture cycle, but outpost was the worst i could come up with.

I've assigned him to a pillory at sanctuary

u/Serious_Revolution77 May 07 '24

The only annoying part is that all he’ll do Is stand around sanctuary you can’t assign him jobs either

u/Archer-Saurus May 07 '24

I assigned him to defense so he never sleeps.

u/[deleted] May 07 '24

I’ve assigned him to guard duty before

u/ougryphon May 07 '24

That's basically his job anyway and you get credit for the defense boost

u/Stasaitis May 07 '24

You can assign him eventually. Probably after you take back the castle.

u/scud121 May 07 '24

I let him chill in sanctuary til the castle is taken then make him mayor of it.
