ok so im halfway through his quest and i sent him to the lucky 38 a little while later i went to get him but the "i think we should travel together" option only appears when i have another human companion and he says my group is too big but when i have no human companion im not able to travel with him

sounds like a pain in the ass. when you say you've tried without a human companion, does that mean without a robotic one/Rex? if so, you may want to try getting one with you that isn't human and ask him then.

maybe even smack him around a bit.

well i also have an issue with ed-e so i cant find him to make him leave but i had played through the ed-e glitch while switching through my companions a few times and the glitch showed up
