  The First Step
  
  This is a story quest and cannot be missed.
  
  

  *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***When you keep talking to Preston of the Minutemen and go help the first settlement by killing the raiders you will join the Minutemen.
  
  My tip for getting through all the raiders is take your time and keep quick saving, can be extremely annoying if you forget to quicksave.

  Yep, I just suffered this exact same problem. Reloaded, didn't work, hard reset and reload and still no go.

  To those having a problem with this achievement please read my solution. It worked for me, hopefully it will work for others as well.

  This solution is ONLY for those who join the minutemen and complete the quest, but the achievement does not unlock. Not sure it will work for everyone but this worked for me so I wanted to share it.
  
  Basically I finished "the first step mission" and did not get the achievement. All my answers to Preston were basically the "nicer" answers. Tried reloading with no luck. I was annoyed so I reloaded again and was basically a dick to him. I wish I remembered my exact answers but I told him maybe it would be better off without the minutemen and then something else and when it got to him saying yes or no, I said yes and immediately achievement pops. If you can save before you turn in to him you can try different dialogue options to findicate the right one. Hope this helps someone.

  No matter how rude I am to the guy, the achievement still doesn't pop. Tried a range of combinations and nothing. Pretty annoying.

  Edit/Update to the above - I snapped my achievements in and out while playing and it randomly unlocked from completing the requirements earlier on... so definitely a strange and glitchy achievement this one.

  I can't even talk to him.
