Can't pick up Preston after he wants to take the Fort

Post » Fri Nov 27, 2015 3:57 pm

I found that after I got friends enough with Preston he wanted to take the fort. I said not sure yet at the time and that was fine. I switched him out for another companion but found that I could no longer have him accompany me, and he would just keep asking if we were ready to take the fort. And once you say yes, he's going to sprint off to the Fort and it might be a while before you can get there. Anyone else seen this?

Yep, looks like you'll have to take the fort...

I had him as a companion when we finished helping a settlement that joined up with the Minute Men. I could not dismiss him to get another companion. He just wanted to take the fort. I put him off and eventually said ok. He took off for the Castle then. I saw that the boss would be pretty tough for a level 10 like myself and figured I was screwed. I could not get Dogmeat to converse and follow me. So I quit the game and the following day, Dogmeat joined me. Preston is still waiting and I am not going until I think I can beat the big bad boss at the Castle. I am thinking level 14 is not high enough yet.

I was fine with him until I told him to go to the fort. I didn't care much that he ran off with my junk. Much later i went and did the fort. He's back at Sanctuary now and I've talked to him a few times about other MM quests but he still won't join me as a companion.

14 should be high enough, with the correct weaponary. I did it not much higher than that maybe 16. the key was a fat man and 1 mini nuke down the throat of that final boss.

I have the same exact problem. He still gives Minutemen quests but I'm unable to ask him to be my companion. Does anyone know of any solutions for this issue?
