📋 About This Mod

  • Preston has no sense of decorum. We all know this. You walk up to him and bam! New quest. You go to sleep in Sanctuary, wake up and there he is, looming over your bed with a quest in hand. Turn in a quest? New quest for you! Sneeze? Quest! Well, not any more. This mod not only convinces Preston to wait a bit, it also teaches him to respect the chain of command. That's right, you don't even have to tell him what you've done anymore.

FEATURES

  • []Most Minutemen quests have been moved to Preston's "How are you doing?" dialogue option.

    []Preston Garvey no longer gives you a new quest as part of turning in an old quest.

    []As General of the Minutemen, you no longer report back to Preston at the end of most quests.

    []Radio Freedom now broadcasts even when the player isn't tuned in, fixing radios tuned to the station.

    []The player will only acquire quests from Radio Freedom while tuned in on their Pip-Boy, or listening at The Castle.

    []Prevents the following NPCs from being Minutemen questgivers due to missing dialogue: children, brahmin, cats, dogs, Jacob Orden, Ted Huntley, Brian Fitzgerald, Penny Fitzgerald, Swanson, Talia McGovern, Doctor Patricia, and Phyllis Daily.

    []Prevents provisioners from being selected as Minutemen questgivers so that players will not need to chase them across the map.

    []Fixes a bug that prevents Preston from giving you quests that were started by visiting a settlement or listening to Radio Freedom.

    []Fixes several bugs with Bethesda's tracking for how you received Minutemen quests. This bug visibly caused cases where you could be told to report back to Preston after completing Troubled Waters, despite receiving that quest at the settlement.

    []Fixes several minor dialogue bugs involving Preston, such as subtitles continuing after he stops talking and awkward pauses where he and the player stare at each other.

  • Adds a fallback for Radio Freedom that attempts to bring it back online if the station stops broadcasting.
