In hindsight, everything after "Hello, my name is Preston Garvey..." deserved a shotgun blast to the face.

"What you did was mass murder, plain and simple."

That gets me a little triggered...

Hes not really wrong, if you just did what I think you did story wise

Hahahahaha - classic

Love it lol

Wish we had a rate up button or something to show we enjoyed someone's post.

It's not what he says, it's how often he says it.

I must have heard his "I was ready to die" speech 500 times already.

The same goes for a couple of other companions. it's like once you've maxed affinity they just get stuck in "The talk".

Its just so much easier going solo. And quieter.

Doorways are no longer blocked and I don't have anyone blocking my shots anymore.

Hate that doormat dogmeat always blocking doors and holes in the wall.

I left them at Sanctuary with my last character. However Sanctuary still shows up as a Settlement on my Pipboy and the happiness is currently 6/100. I thought I would lose the settlement by now. Oh well I still will never go back there. I scrapped the place bare and carried everything to RR and set up shop there. All by myself in my giant RR tower. From the top I can look over at Sanctuary and see Preston doing his patrols around Sanctuary.

I wouldn't have minded taking him with me but I was worried the whole time hed be filling up my quest area 200x faster than me ninja avoiding him. ( As best I can and failing.)

I used him as a companion with another character of mine (one that did the MM ending). Honestly his biggest flaw is that dang gun which I felt obligated to let him keep. The rate of fire is terrible and most the time he misses, so other than being a meat shield he's all but useless. Seems I was patching him up after every encounter. Worse companion ever with that gun.

Yeah I personally thought the crank rifle was just bad and stuck it on my list of never to use. I generally change his weapon when hes in settlements though too. Just think its a clunky weapon and there are better options unless your sniping with it. In the end I just hate the hell out of that gun lol.

Like him compared to lazer danse in Arc Jet solo-ing 20+ robots...Danse is just a better option. I personally only go dogmeatz and sole survivor.

There was a 'sweet-spot' there as I was leveling up where a three or four crank musket shot made the best sniper damage I could put out, but you had to put it away if you didn't kill whatever you just pissed off and go to something else. Not worth the weight for a one-trick-pony of a weapon.

Don't know who's worse, Preston or Marcy. For those of you who play on PC, when you get the "kill 'em all" mod, please slay her for me. Can't stand the mean-spirited battleaxe. I'd leave them all in Concord too, except you have to have them if you want a certain ending.

But I like my Preston. He looks good with his head blown off.

Most (probably all, but I haven't taken them all out to be sure) of the companions do this. It seems like their dialogue wasn't tested, because they all have these same problems and the problems are easily fixed.

Do you know how many times I've seen the, "You Failed" messages because I've been on my way to save someone and found something more interesting to do. Like every time he sends me someplace.

just disable both Jun and Marcy in the play-throughs that I hae where the Quincy group makes it Sanctuary My town. I really hate the way they treat ME like they are doing ME a favor letting ME be there, you know, at MY own house that I owned for 210+ years.

So far for most of my new play throughs I do the same. Or at least save it for later when I want the bobble head and some xp

YOu can go get the magazine and the bobblehead and just not do anything else! Grab the things and then leave!

Its really showing the lack of situational awareness in AI, which falls on the engine and dev.. Not the character...
