Be careful what you wish for, because you know that he would immediately say "general, another settlement needs your help". Since that's his favorite phrase. 😅

Well, i don't play with Minutemen... Preston and his cronies never leaves Concord alive since...3 years of playthroughs... But tht minutemen mod is worth having just for variety and overhaul
Lol I find the "the general sent me to collect donations" "I am the general" "...oh shit!" So funny 😂😂😂 just the way he says it and then just turns and runs lol
X6-88 is the same when you bring him to Virgil which is disappointing because both these interactions should have been seen by the developers as something players would do or try and do
*_Drest N. Garvey_* is one of several reasons I wish random encounters would have follow-ups. The other is the Mongrel Dog I accidentally permanently dismissed by telling him “you should go home, boy.”
@@anut8733Since this is Fallout 4, they did this a quarter of the way since it's half of Fallout 3's half of effort. It's a very trackable stat if you track stuff from Morrowind, to Oblivion, to Skyrim, to ESO and same goes for Fallout.
Honestly, I'd rather deal with the fake Preston. At least he doesn't continually have me running my ass off saving settlements that the rest of the minutemen should be helping. And he has a better look to his outfit.
The amount of sequence-breaks in the game is really unfortunate. Would be cool to get the original VAs in so that mods could fix broken dialogues. Can’t pay them tho, since that’s against Bethesda TOS.
They missed out on doing the "IM BUZZLIGHTYEAR NO IM BUZZLIGHTYEAR" moment. If they would've gotten into an argument on whose the real preston garvey that would've been a fun interaction.
i love how you can either critic his outfit to prove hes fake or just straight up say "im the general" theres more options i know but those are the best one
It would have been better if Preston walked forward and said something like maybe ask why he is impersonating him, or making the Minutemen look like they are collecting protection money.
Fav encounter with him I just turned him down and when he turned away to leave I placed a grenade in his inventory and watched as he ran over a hill and then a muffled boom and then the XP came. LMAO
I'm doing a Minutemen Playthrough right now, (and have done so constantly in the past); but I have NOT yet seen this man. Caught a glimpse of him when my brother encountered him on his disc; but never saw him ever since.
They did a good job of making the fake Preston to look /kinda/ like how Preston's face does if you don't really remember him. But seeing them side by side they really don't look close.
So it’s one thing i have really bad luck in video games so when i get a lot of random encounters in fallout 4 i got the after unlikely valentine skinny Malone has some unique dialogue you can find him if you don’t kill hin
I wish the game would have let me handle this situation my way. I would have given him the McLoven treatment. The whole day, he IS Garvey. And he's going to have a Hell of a day. Then, at the end, I'd take him to a few settlements to see what he just protected. Then we go to Castle, where he can choose to be a true Minuteman or not. Because no matter what, there's ALWAYS a settlement that needs our help. I'll mark its location on your map. We are the Minutemen. Help is on the way.
I wonder if the Preston Garvey voice actor is on cameo, could we just write the dialogue ourselves, pay the voice actor to say it in a cameo. Do some audio mixing and then add it as a mod? Someone had have thought of this before.
The hat and overcoat are only minor details. You forgetting the most important detail. The real Preston would always let you know that there's another settlement that needs your help and would mark it on your map.
Remember some RUclipsr thought he found a synth imposter and then yelling at Bethesda that he got no synth component... I'm thr last one letting BGS down easy but sometimes they are bot to blame... In this case they ahould really have made some dialogue for Preston.
Preston’s silence makes you wonder if the imposter’s his brother or teenage love child.
Yeah, he even sounds like him
I imagine he's just like, "Sorry about that, general. He's my younger brother. He's, uh, he's going through a bit of a crisis right now. I didn't know it got this bad. I'll talk to him later. Anyway, about that settlement that needs our help..."
@@HoV326 That definitely would’ve been better than a blank stare.
Maybe he really is the real Preston and the one we know was faking it all along
He's using console commands. This interaction doesn't normally happen
On my first playthrough the imposter garvey had died to a suicider around me before I had saw or interacted with him, so I had thought the real Preston had gotten killed while following me

I originally had him saying that at the end lol

Preston was probably thinking about other settlements
And marking them on your map
Because they need your help
"I've got another sett-"
Preston would be like 10% less of a meme if in LITERALLY the finale he didn’t interrupt himself to talk about another settlement.
which is why you download the bugfix and give Bugthesda the middle finger. No Todd, it does not "just work" one does not simply "just work".
See you can tell he's fake because he didn't immediately ask you to help a settlement
Let me mark it on your map

Play on Survival and you'll encounter a lot more random events.
Fast traveling everywhere prevents the random encounters from occurring.

Hundreds and hundreds of hours, multiple play through, NEVER met this person! I love Fallout 4.
My SS: Oh so you’re a minuteman? Welcome aboard! The frontline “volunteers” will love you-
I feel like Preston should’ve had some sort of reaction to this fake
I think it’s one of the biggest loss of potential that Bethesda didn’t make any reaction for the real Preston Garvey
"I am the manager" energy
Piston Gravy has one thing he forgot to account for.
He NEVER tells you about a settlement that needs your help.
PISTON GRAVY- I CAN'T- XD
I saw this in my very first play through and I haven’t seen it since I’m so glad someone else finally made a video on it😂
This random encounter had potential.
Kind of like how the Minutemen faction in general had potential, unseats they are just okay unseats of being great
Preston was saving his voice to assign you another settlement needing help...
Oh shit he knows.
Over 10000hrs of total playing, I've never run into this one...or is it just I can't remember?
over a year of fallout 4? How did you secure that much free time

this is the first random encounter i dont think i ever saw myself in fo4
“ I was sent to collect donations by the general☝️🤓”
“ I am the general” >:(

I had him with me when I had this encounter, I spent like half an hour seeing why he didn't react cos I thought it was a glitch.
