I haven't had any quests or missions from Preston for the Minutemen in a long long time. Those BOS quests are all that I am getting for additional XP along with hunting down those rogue robots for Isabel.

Nothing is more irritating than to constantly get a quest from Preston. I avoid him when I can. I actually get the quests from the Minutemen radio station. It tends to be more quaint than hearing Preston over and over.
 
 
 
I started creating a base in the bottom part of the map. I can't remember the name, but it's the settlement which is like in the middle of a swamp, has a broken down house, and a piece of construction equipment. I built a balcony which goes around the broken down house, so the only way to get to the base is to go up the strairs, and follow the balcony around the broken down house, which leads to flight of stairs, which then goes up into the base. Base has 3 levels. First level has a tower so a settler can defend, and I can see beyond the horizon, and I can defend the base from the top level. If they get me from there, then I have 2 other levels to go from to defend the base. As soon as I finished the last piece (literally), not having any turrets put down yet, I get raided by super mutants, a group of 10 (3 of them carrying miniguns). Definitely was a fight. I had to hide around the windows a bit, and use my trusty defensive tower in the back of my base, going from levels to levels to defend the base off. In this area, it's best to have settlers carrying other guns than just a pipe pistol. it can take longer to clear out if they just have pipe pistols.
I'm waiting for the moment where a mirelurk queen comes and attacks that base. It was quite the trouble defending off that area with no base put down, and the settlers defending themselves with just pipe pistols. Now it's going to be different. They're going to have a ride when they come back.

If your settlers are only packing those sissy pipe pistols, it can take longer to clear it out, if you're on a harder difficulty.

I didn't know about the Minuteman radio station but I have been running into more and more antenna arrays that need to be activated. I think you're talking about that Murkwater or Mirelurk Constrution site way down south. I built them up a while ago and don't hear too much from them. Whenever I get a radio station or garbled transmission I don't know how to find which direction it is coming from other than just wander around in circles.

It should be quite easy to do. The music or transmission should get louder and louder.

I was getting tired of Preston constantly giving me the same hostage rescue missions or ghoul infestation problems and suddenly they stopped for a while. I was constantly going back and forth from Finch Farm, County Crossing and that ghoul run farm and then nothing. After a while they started back up and Preston kept me busy and then they stopped again and that was a long time ago. I even had Preston for a companion and reached max affinity with him before snagging Piper. Now whenever I talk to him he just reminds me about how he'll always have my back or he just stands around Sanctuary leaning against a post. IDK if Preston is just burned out and needs a vacation or what. LOL

Occasionally I get the courier quests. Those are nice. It kind of breaks the ice a little bit, and with the raiders involved by protecting it, it can get quite interesting.

I've been trying to chat it up with Keller in Bunker Hill to get her quests but the 'Old Bag' won't give me the time of day yet. Too bad they didn't have any hormone treatments available. LOL

They definitely need to have more raids available than the constant rescue quests.

I'm still randomly discovering new locations but I have to say this game is nowhere near as fun as it was opening up new map areas in Far Cry 4. I think I'll go back to Far Cry 4 for a while. That was a lot more fun for me and I would like to reach 100% completion before I start over again.

Just like you, I have taken a break from Fallout 4, and went back to playing Empire: Total War. Yeah, it may be outdated a bit, but I find it to be the best RTS of all time from the Total War series, regardless of what people think of RTW2 being the best. I do look forward to TW:Warhammer.

I'm still waiting for today's Fallout 4 DLC to drop. I'm not terribly excited about it but I might as well get it downloaded and installed so I can verify my cache files before the crashing problems start just like they did with the last DLC. I romanced Piper last night. Still looking to get those Diamond City quests with her. I talked to Preston hoping he had a Minuteman mission for me but after listening to him whine for a while one of my options as a reply was 'Romance' in bright red letters. I already have my companion perk from him so he'd better get a life or find someone else to shack up with. LOL
