Suggestion Executioner Perk--Second Chances

[bullyrook]

In the beginning, getting the executioner perk was as easy as just killing Preston. And could be done at anytime. I understand why this was changed to how it is now.

But instead of having the chance to get this perk tied to a quest stage, I wish it was tied to Preston just being in the museum. "Hey, Preston, we need to have a talk. Let's go back to the museum."

Alternatively, I'd like another chance to get the perk. Maybe, a raider board bounty quest to bump off some snobs in the DC upper stands. How to become a hitman in three easy steps. First step is bam your dead. I forget the others. What was that you said, Ann Codman?

Agreed.

Killing Preston breaks a lot of stuff and I usually avoid it, tho I end up giving myself the perk with console commands so I can kill other characters like Maxson, Dr. Ayo, etc.
It would be nice to have another way of unlocking it, not having to go through the console commands ofcourse, because only PC players can do that.

During my most recent game I realized that killing Preston isn't required to get the perk at all. All you have to do is aggro him the first time you are in the museum. Once he goes aggro, you get the perk. If you then down him, you can execute him. Or after he aggro's and you get the perk, you can just run the hell away.

Once I realized this, I didn't have to worry so much about how a low level survival character was going to accomplish killing Preston or the others. Fighting all five and killing any of them wasn't necessary. Any character build could pull off a hit and run with some jet. And so there isn't any reason not to ahead and get the perk (especially if you know that you aren't going to play as a Minuteman.)

Will I have problems with Preston if I ever let him out? Probably. But the only way I'll ever let any of them out of the museum is if they agree to wear a slave collar.

Which is the command to unlock the executioner perk?

There's no command, as stated above, just aggro Preston and you are given the perk.

To use it, down the essential enemy, then get within melee range and hit X (on console), don't know the keyboard key.

NOTE: don't quote me on this, but I believe after a certain point in jammer's questline, he is protected from this.
