10 Video Game NPCs Who Could've Solved EVERYTHING (But Didn't)
4. Preston Garvey - Fallout 4
Even accepting that Preston Garvey is the reluctant leader of the Minutemen, would it kill him to get off his ass and actually do things himself?
Preston is one of Fallout 4's more polarising companions for good reason - the guy asks and asks and asks the player to help him out. Well, he begs, really.
And while it's fair enough that he isn't the toughest or most heroic of characters, he might be a little too eager to saddle the player with quests without putting in much leg-work of his own.
Could Preston have solved everything and led the Minutemen without some help? Absolutely not, but given that his constant requests for help liberating settlements quickly verge on self-parody, it sure feels like he doesn't even try to do things himself.
For a man who's basically made the Minutemen his entire personality, he seems bafflingly committed to "delegating" as much of the hard work as humanly possible.
This all riled the fanbase up enough that a mod was eventually created which shrinks him down to six inches tall, complete with a chipmunk voice. You love to see it.
