Why Isn’t Preston Giving Me the Castle Quest in Fallout 4?

If you’re stuck and unable to obtain the Castle quest from Preston Garvey, you’re not alone. Many Fallout 4 players have encountered this frustrating issue, but fear not! We’re here to provide you with the top reasons why Preston might be ignoring you, and the fixes to get the Castle quest back on track.

Requirements Not Met:

To unlock the Castle quest, you’ll need to fulfill one major requirement: have at least four settlements allied to the Minutemen. Check your game status by examining the Companion Panel or interacting with any Settlements; if Preston still doesn’t initiate a conversation, read on to troubleshoot.

Settlement Alliances Not Triggered:

Double-check if your Settlements have an alliance with the Minutemen by reviewing these scenarios:

Scenario	Checklist
Check-in Station	– Preston shouldn’t be speaking with Raiders, Brotherhood, or Brotherhood-friendly NPCs at the same location. – If they’re still not aligned with Minutemen, interact with them once more
Settlers or Soldiers	– Make sure at least 4 allies are friendly with Preston (more can add synergy, though!). Focus on settlements in good relationship status
Raider Bases or Camps	– Clean out raided camps; ideally, try not to keep raider survivors, else Preston remains grumpy – Focus on cleansing these spots; killall command could work temporary

If settlements didn’t have initial Minutemen ties or got turned down due to bad conditions (like no clean reputation with Minutemen): focus on helping unrelated factions like Railroad and Institute, resolve conflict without compromising settlement goals.

Quest-Related Hacking?

Some fixes suggest applying this simple patch to game mechanics:

TABLE CODE

* In settlements’ conversation wheel (F) key in Settlement
• Right-click (‘Edit World Map Object’) option should come up for key NPC

– • (Not essential)

It was quite tricky but **there’s only one right fix**, this step isn’t required or helpful;
It might resolve settlement

It could happen while taking orders.
Please give time it is better and should *help to set your*
