Curious Question about Nuka World and the Open Season Quest

[Jaguar1973]

Okay, I am wanting to keep nice with Garvey and the Minutemen and I have been trying to find an answer I can understand, so I end up here asking the Fo4 Community.

I know doing Open Season would Render any Raider quests null, but I salivate at killing Raiders, so losing those Raider quests and weapons is no issue for me. LOL

So what I want to know is:

After automatically becoming the Over boss upon passing the gauntlet and after a few small quests I speak to Mackenzie Bridgeman get the Open Season Quest and kill all the Raiders, will this negatively impact with Garvey?

I am thinking no, but it never hurts to get a second opinion on this, you see I could never play a Raider too much of a goody goody type character to be one.

So while it is unlikely I would side with the Raiders at Nuka World (This would be after being appointed General of the Minutemen) and I am unlikely to ever have Garvey as a Companion while his quests can be annoying they still play into my ethos of making the Commonwealth safer :) if I did Open Season what would be Garveys reaction to wiping out the Raiders at Nuka World?

Also, if what I read about the Nuka World Power Plant, that can be powered up after Open Season is completed?

Simply curious

No. As long as you dont invade the commonwealth for the raiders and attacks settlements ( which I have never done) Preston is happy to see you.

yes u can power up the plant before or after.

Specifically, the quest "Home Sweet Home" given by the raider Shank requires you to take over a settlement in the Commonwealth as a Raider outpost.
As soon as you do that (when you raise the raider flag), Preston Garvey will be permanently pissed at you and won't be available as a companion anymore.
He will however still be available for all the main quests of the Minutemen story line that he is involved with.

You can do all the Nuka-World side quests and radiant quests without an issue, as well as all the main quests (clearing the parks etc.) up until said "Home Sweet Home" quest.
Note:
Some radiant quests require you to kill some main faction NPCs (MM, BoS, RR, Institute) in the Commonwealth, that you might still be allied with. Doing this will make this faction permanently hostile to you.
Ask the quest giver about the target first, then refuse the quest and ask for a new one until you get an exoendable target like Gunners, supermutants or other raiders.

You can wipe out the Nuka-Raiders at any point ("Open Season" quest), either by talking to McKenzie, or by killing a ny named Nuka-Raider of one of the three gangs.
After that, you will unlock the power plant and restore electricity to the park, just as if you had followed through with the Raider main quest.

In the end, what you miss by stopping at the "Home Sweet Home" quest is two of the three raider perks and two unique weapons, which you would get if you follow through with the raider main story line, as well as the raider specific settlement objects.

Finally, if you don't rescue Preston Garvey in the beginning at the museum (and he can never make you general of the Minutemen), you actually can do the Nuka-Raider main quest line (and unlock everything) without him ever getting pissed.
If you talk to him afterwards, he'll require you to first wipe all raiders ("Open Season") before you can recruit him.

Raider settlement objects you build in raider outposts continue to work after you take them back as settlements.

Just play nuka world before becoming the general of the mm, once you complete the home sweet home quest, talk to garvey and he will give you the quest open season, after killing all the raiders talk to mckenzie to finish the quest. After that preston will act like nothing happend at all.
