Neverending minuteman missions

Can i make that preston shut up for good? I wanna deliver a side quest but dont want a new one. He keeps giving me a new one as soon as i deliver it. I don't want to see a quest from minuteman unless i want one.

Is it possible? Or will it ever end?

He will always prompt those quests.

I am using this mod to tune it down. It gives a cool down for Minutemen quests and prevents you from having more than one timed mission going on at once. I have no idea why Bethesda made MM quests so aggressive. This mod tunes them closer than I would have expected.

There are two versions of the mod.
- Basic
- Enhanced

I am using the Basic one.

I think the solution is to send him as far away as possible, and fail one of them so you don't have them. Because if you're near him - like just walking by - doesn't he still automatically just hand them out like candy anyway?

Or mods.

or type this into google "fallout 4 how to stop preston" and pick your poison.

He quits after awhile. For me it was around level 79 and MANY missions done. Now when I talk to him his only interest is whether I want him to join me.

Oh mods.. Well i don't use mods. I'm a purist player :) Another boo for bethesda.. But it is good to see there is a mod for it. Maybe i should enable console with "unlimited survival mode" plugin for f4se. Since it is not a mod it won't give [M] mark to my savegame.

In that case, how can i deliver a quest from command console? Any help with that. Preston is on Castle already (I'm not hanging there) so if i can deliver a completed quest from console so i can get rid of them from my quest list. Maybe i should send preston to zimonja outpost for exile :D

Preston bothers me less than he used to.

Purists are treated as heretics around here!

Just kidding. Each their own. :)

Console commands can be problematic, because even radiant locations can link to other quests in the area. Visit there can start or end another quest, or provide a trigger event for third quest.

Completing quests without actually killing the target character (boss in the area) can also lead to bugged alias calls.

I would either recommend reconsidering the modding, or getting used to idea of running after radiant quests. While completing quests for console works, there is no way to promise you that your game wouldn't get bugged over broken triggers and alias calls.

Just don't go near him when you receive the prompt to report the success. He won't give new quest while waiting for your good news.

You don't need a mod. Finish the last quest he gave you and just don't turn it in to him. The quest will time out and complete itself. Then just don't talk to him after that.

Yeah yeah thats what i'm doing right now. I'm not turning quests in but as an obsessive person i hate to have those 1-2 quests on my quest list. They are itching my obsessive completionist disorder :P

My only hope is what LiMpY said above "He quits after awhile. For me it was around level 79 and MANY missions done. Now when I talk to him his only interest is whether I want him to join me."

I'm at level 65 and i hope he will quit bugging me eventually.

Isn't the main player, the minuteman general. So why is Preston handing out the orders. You can't even start other main quest's. Without starting the minuteman quest.
