Always wanted to kill Preston ? Assert your OverBossNess, with this mod you can unload in his face, close down all the lame MM quests and still finish the main quest.
Nothing changes in the game which runs completely standard until the point of no return when the player lands TWO shots on Preston, intentional or collateral. He is booted from all factions, made player hostile and mortal from which there is no coming back.
If his museum crew have not reached Sanctuary they will also turn hostile and mortal, otherwise they will just be normal settlers.
When Preston dies all of the Minutemen player quests, active or latent, are closed down and can not be restarted. There are some hidden MM quests that still run to keep the main quest going. If you already have arty, that surprisingly keeps on working, but Radio Boredom should stop vomiting up those dull-after-the-tenth-time radiants.
What about unowned workshops ? No problem at all, you can take ownership of any Commonwealth workshop either by talking to the local settlers directly and doing a quest for them, or just killing them. This includes the Mirelurks at the Castle. That's right you don't need to do "Taking Independence" Minutemen quest to own the Castle, it's built into the base game.
You are given an optional [ Preston Garvey Death Notice ] in MISC inventory that, if placed in Preston's corpse will properly shutdown all active Minutemen services (Flare support, Arty, Radio boredom, Ronnie, Minutemen Piloted Vertibird fast travel) and turn any Minuteman faction actors hostile. Use the flaregun for free meat, but careful of those checkpoint encounters.
This is just for LOLz to amp up an evil OVERBOSS run, but has been tested at various Main Quest stages and doesn't affect joining or progressing with BOS, RR or the Institute. The only known wrinkle is when you come to choose who to build the relay with, Preston's dead body is map marked as an option. You wont get far with him.
If you try to do something obviously stupid like build the relay or blow the institute with the MM and *then* kill Preston, there will be problems completing those quest lines. No, really. I could add lockouts to help you avoid such foolishness, but Vault-Tec have sponsored a social experiment to test your demographic propensity for this sort of stupidity (actual contract words).
Known Issues
(1) If you kill Sturges you will not be able to progress main quest MQ206 The Molecular Level or Brotherhood main quest BOS204 Outside The Wire as the actor is a dependency on the MQ206 network scanner holotape.
PC manual installation:
Copy SKKPrestonKillable.esp and SKKPrestonKillable – Main.BA2 to your...\Fallout 4\Data directory, enable in the Bethesda mod menu, mod manger or whatever.
Compatibility & disable:
As with 97% of SKK mods it doesn't change any existing base game assets, so there are no load order issues. If you hate it you can disable it whenever you want before killing Preston without affecting your savegame. You can disable it after killing Preston, but neither he or the Minutemen quests are ever coming back to your savegame. Only remove mods if you are happy to accept potential conflicts from load order changes in a save game.
