I actually laughed out loud when I first played the Nuka-World DLC and went to talk to Garvey and he went on his huge betrayal spiel, only to finish it with "I'll still take orders from you, but you can FORGET about me being nice to you about it >:("

"When we first met I had my doubts about you" preston when we first met you gave me a minigun and the most advanced piece of military tech youve ever seen in your life

the sole survivor trying to hook up with preston moments after he just started confessing about his suicidal ideation is crazy honestly

Bethesda wanted the "Yes-Man" from New Vegas again so players always have a way to complete the game even if they piss off every faction. Yes-Man worked because he was, by self admission, a lobotomized robot that had to do what you said even if it didn't make sense. It really does not work when you apply "lobotomized robot" to a person.

Preston has this faint trace of a character trait in that he hates the people who betrayed the minutemen's values and then you can betray the Minutemen and invade the Commonwealth with raider gangs and he responds by just following your orders while frowning.

He doesn't have a bad voice actor, you can tell because Bethesda actually lets him act at the treasure of Jamaica plain. Like just that ONE time he shows a lot of emotion. I feel like they gave him no direction and would just accept every first line read from him. Or told him he doesn't sound depressed enough.

Him talking about how the Quincy massacre happened and there not being any kind of follow up for that is insane that there wasn't a take back Quincy quest like the castle turning it back into a major settlement.
