This Preston Garvey is fake: A rare random event in Fallout 4 creates the risk of mistaken identity. But the moment could be even more memorable

Welcome to GameFar, where you can find exclusive info about Phallout 4, dug up by our roving reporter Petor Baffge!

A fake version of this news could read something like this: a cheap imitation that doesn’t come close to the original. In the popular role-playing gameFallout 4there’s one just like it and it concerns one of the best-known and most hated characters by players:Preston Garvey!

Protection racket, but polite

Since the launch of part 4 of the Fallout series in 2015, you can meet the Minutemen officer’s doppelganger The latter is known for never getting tired of pointing out the next settlement that needs your help

Fake Preston, on the other hand, will run into you as part of a random event. This can happen in a variety of places and at a variety of times.This is why not all Fallout 4 players will necessarily make his acquaintance.

On contact, the NPC marked by the game as “Preston Garvey” introduces himself as part of the Minutemen, wears a similar outfit to his role model and allegedly collects donations from “concerned citizens”. Just 100 crown caps and the Minutemen would be there in an emergency:

The real Preston remains silent

If you tell the impersonator that he cannot be Preston Garvey,he takes to his heels and flees If you want, you can then shoot him over the head without any negative consequences.

The so-called Random Encounter is unusual in that it doesn’t matter for the outcome of the situation whether youhave the real Preston Garvey as a companionwith you.

Because he neither comments on the meeting with his doppelganger nor does he allow himself to be approached afterwards.A missed opportunityby developer Bethesda Game Studios for more amusing back and forth.
