way to befriend Preston again, after Nuka World Raiders?

[grody_antagonic]

Hey everyone, I just want to know if there is a way to befriend Preston again, after I brought the Raiders into the commonwealth in the Nuka World Questline? I think the Quest for killing the raider bosses is still an option, no? Would that befriend Preston again? It's kinda annoying to have him hate me like that now. I just want peace again.^^

I'll try to explain this as best I can without sounding too confusing. >.>

Scenario 1) You rescued the minutemen first, went to Nuka-World second, but DID NOT raid the commonwealth yet. You're fine with the minutemen.

Scenario 2) You rescued the minutemen first, went to Nuka-World second, and YOU DID raid the commonwealth. Preston will always hate you and there is nothing you can do about it.

Scenario 3) You DID NOT rescue the Minutemen yet, and went to Nuka-World first. You Raid the commonwealth without saving Preston yet. You rescue him later. He will hate you, but will forgive you if you wipe out the raiders, and everything goes back to normal with the Minutemen.

Scenario 3 is the best possible route to take because:
1) You get the raider perks and the special rewards. (Best melee weapon in game from Disciples)
2) You can put Pick-me-up stations at your Raider settlements and they still work when turning them back into Minutemen settlements. $$$$

IF YOU WANT TO BE A RAIDER but still want Preston's perk, the best thing to do is do Nuka-World, get the first quest from Shank, and simply not do it until you get Preston's perk. Preston will not hate you until you actually plant the flag. You can also just blow off going to Nuka-World until you get his perk.

Thank you! Dammit, that's it for me then. Well, I did raid the commonwealth for the sake of the storyline and the achievements that came with it. But Preston is giving me a hard time for that. Guess I'd have to start over if I really want a change. Anyway, thank you! :)

Technically you can rescue Preston and Co, and still Warlord it up and still have Preston as a companion as long as you did not hand in The First Step aka the quest after rescuing Preston and Co. Personally I was happy to get him to finally shut up.

You can get Max Affinity with Preston first (pretty easy to do) and then do Nuka World and scare everyone off their settlements. You won't get Preston back but you'll still be General of the Minutemen and Overlordboss -- talk about abuse of power. Anyway, why would you WANT Preston back, you can still get quests via the radio?

For anybody still looking to befriend Preston after Nuka-World DLC, I've found a solution!

Open console and enter the following commands:

prid 1A4D7
CallFunction "CompanionActorScript.UnsetHasLeftPlayerPermanently"
CallFunction "CompanionActorScript.SetAffinity" 1100

The PC mod Better Companions, has a built-in feature to force Preston to become an available companion. However your affinity will still be at -1100. You can use "SetAV CA_Affinity 500"... or set it to 1100 if you instantly want his perk.

I had to use the mod method because the commands suggested by others above, do not work in all situations... i guess. They did give me his perk, but there was never the option to recruit him. He would however, tell me how good of friends we are.
