1. I Need His Sweet Ass Trench Coat

Seriously, look at Preston’s sweet overcoat. Imagine roaming the wastes in a warm, yet elegantly rugged leather coat.

It provides protection from the elements, like the nuclear storms and blistering sun. It’s also quiet enough to sneak up to an unsuspecting victim and steal all his shit. In fact, I wish I had it before I met Preston, then maybe he wouldn’t have to die a swift and painful death, but alas it is inevitable.

All I know is that when I wander the wastes in Fallout 4 I’ll definitely be sporting Preston’s sweet ass trench coat, even if that means I have to loot his freshly killed corpse (how did that happen?) to get it.

2. That’s a Nice Hat You’ve Got There Garvey

Perception is very important in Fallout, it alerts you to nearby enemies and prevents you from losing a leg or two to a frag mine. That’s why I need a cool hat to increase my ability to perceive my surrounding area. I have yet to see a cooler hat than that of Mr. Garvey. Even if it doesn’t give me extra perception, I have to keep in mind that I’m putting an ensemble together here and I don’t want the post war fashion police beating down my door when they find out I don’t have a hat to go with my super cool trench coat.

It really is unfortunate that I’ll have to wipe off the blood on the brim when I remove it from his decapitated head, but it’s a small price to pay for the constant vigilance it will provide me, not to mention how badass I’ll look.

3. That’s a Cool Gun

Speaking of Preston’s armaments, that is a pretty cool looking gun you have there sir. It has a scope and a big glass barrel looking thing, I’m definitely going to need that in case… you know, anyone else has a cooler hat or something. Maybe I need it to help an old lady cross the road, or something.

I’m not a bad person, I promise. I’m just trying to help, so for my next reason…

4. Preston Garvey Could be a Bad Guy (You Never Know)

The first time we meet Garvey he tells us to grab a deadly laser musket and head inside to save the group that is trapped in the building. I think it is fairly safe to assume that the well dressed man with the big ass gun, Preston himself, is holding them hostage and so he must be dispatched in order to secure the poor people trapped inside.

He tells us a sad sob story about losing members of his group one by one, but that’s exactly what an evil mastermind who kidnaps people would say, isn’t it?

Yeah, I’ll definitely have to liberate this group… by liberating Preston Garvey’s head from his shoulders.

5. He’s Too Cool

He’s cooler than me, and that just won’t do. The whole of the Commonwealth needs to realize who the protagonist is (I am, in case you were wondering). Anyone who is cooler than me needs to be taken care of.

Look at him, all stoic and badass. This is why he has to go. Also I’m going to take all his shit and murder his friends… I mean hostages… I’ll save his hostages.

Unless they have a cooler hat.
