The level up thing is normal depending on what your Intelligence is. It's not a bug.

Also note that Grim Reaper only restores 20 AP on a successful VATS kill in this game, rather than ALL of it like it did in Fallout 3, so that may be what you're seeing. Again, not a bug because this is intentional and stated in the perk's description, although it does make the perk practically worthless and not worth taking in my opinion.

So it is normal that with THE SAME intelligence level I will have alternating number of points (15/16) every other time? Where did you find it?

Didn't see this posted anywhere so I'l go ahead and throw it in.

Sometimes, while sneaking, enemies either don't lost any HP when hit or lose HP run away, and then regenerate back to full instantly.

And no, it's nothing to do with armor or DT or DR. Sneak attack critical head shot on a Fiend with the Anti-Material rifle with AP rounds, loses no HP. Doesn't happen often though.

Didn't read through the whole list of bugs, far too many, so I apologize if I am repeating any bugs.

2. I equipped Arcade Gannon with the vault 34 Security Armor and removed him from my party. Since, I am incapable of adding him back into my party. I still get the dialogue option ONLY IF I currently have a companion and he declines due to the party being full. Pick-pocketing him reveals his inventory is empty aside from his glasses. I believe the bug is the helmet specifically as I attempted a reverse pickpocket to make him unequip the armor.(using roughly 50% Combat Armor MK2 and a similar Combat Helmet) He unequipped the body armor but kept the helmet on and was still not giving the dialogue option to join.(Haven't tested this on other companions, so I can't be sure if it is npc or the item itself causing the problem)

New Bugs To Add

Doing the Boulder City Quest
- The Great Khans would not attack me until I struck first.

Doing the Sheriff Recruiting Quest
- Upon arriving at the Mojave Outpost, ALL the NCR members would attack me for no reason.

Thanks for the heads up. Out of curiosity did you maybe make a save standing in front of him before you gave him that armor and then test this theory? I'm thinking that faction armor will cause him to glitch out and thinking he belongs to another faction which in turn breaks him.

Didn't read through the whole list of bugs, far too many, so I apologize if I am repeating any bugs.

So far I've come across two.

1. When equipping Ranger Patrol Armor, your character's model gets stuck in a different pose and your gun hovers further from your character's back. Companions are also affected, but I didn't test beyond Boone.(Only way to fix it is to reload a save prior to putting the armor on from what I could tell)

2. I equipped Arcade Gannon with the vault 34 Security Armor and removed him from my party. Since, I am incapable of adding him back into my party. I still get the dialogue option ONLY IF I currently have a companion and he declines due to the party being full. Pick-pocketing him reveals his inventory is empty aside from his glasses.

I did some more testing after I reloaded an older save, the armor isn't part of the problem, apparently. From what I've noticed it's actually an issue with ED-E and I found the solution is to simply remove ED-E, add Arcade, then re-add ED-E. This happened after he recycled his dialogue regarding ED-E once, apparently each time afterward the option doesn't load rather than simply appearing and being grayed out.

Added note, I had ED-E with me when originally recruiting Arcade, so that may have been the original cause of the bug.

Again, apologies if this is actually something that was already covered.

"Temporary work around for the DLC error"
Thanks goes out to augoosto for running these tests and posting this

I did this for my fellow fallout fans,
because of the lack of feedback about the "forthcoming" patches, i have done 25 hours of in game testing to replicate this save game bug we are all having under all different conditions.
The DLC savegame error is not caused by any quest in particular, and its not actual savegame corruption, I have successfully replicated the DLC error in over a dozen different instances, at different points of the game.
The bug is caused by certain combinations of actions, events, and quests, not specifically by come fly with me. The strip and the main storyline need to be put off for quite some time in order to avoid the DLC error, i couldnt start the strip until well after the 15 hour mark.
For those of us who dont want to wait to play the game that we paid our hard earned money for, The ways to work around this game-breaking bug are as follows
-save constantly (I have tried to save around every 15 mins or so)
-try reloading your saves after completing certain events to make sure the bug has not manifested
-if the bug does take out one of your saves, go to the most recent working one, and switch quests to a different task. Once youve completed the new task, try moving back to the one that gave you the error before and it should work now.
-as you build up gameplay hours, the DLC error will become less and less frequent, the combinations that cause it most commonly seem to involve the end missions of questlines
- if you are doing faction missions, space them out so you arent working all the way through one faction in a sitting.

I know that it is ridiculous that these are the only ways to avoid these bugs, but i can promise you that if you really want to play, these methods WORK. I have tested it over the past 4-5 days pretty constantly, so that i could try to give you all some sort of reliable way to play until we get this patch we have been waiting for.

I hope this post helps some of you. This is not my job, i just want to help out my fellow fallout fans

Yea... heres a big list of bugs connected to just ED-E

■Completing the quest ED-E My Love by giving him to the Followers may result in him teleporting to a location near red rock canyon(shown by quest marker) and then exploding on approach, removing him from the game as a companion.needs verification

■It would seem if you bring ED-E into the White Glove Society's kitchen, he will stop moving and just float in place. You can still interact with him, but he will not follow you. This can be avoided by telling him to wait outside the kitchen area and then going back to get him after you're done in there.

■When told to stay, he can appear to you soon after even though you clearly told it to wait there.

■After rescuing Primm's deputy all Primm citizens may became hostile to ED-E.

■After chatting to the commanding officer at Ranger Station Charlie, the officer may become hostile to ED-E

■The Legion members inside Cottonwood HQ may become hostile to ED-E at random.

■NCR troops at Camp McCarran may become hostile to ED-E at random.

■Completing the quest "ED-E My Love" by giving him to the Brotherhood may result in ED-E no longer moving or shooting anybody. It will still fast travel with you and zone with you, but will stay where you spawn. Changing him from follow to stay, and then back to follow fixes this problem, but he still won't attack enemies. Also reported to happen if you side with the Followers of the Apocalypse at the end.

■Giving ED-E a suit of Brotherhood T-51b power armor to hold onto will result in the armor disappearing from ED-E's inventory with no way to retrieve it or he will drop it.

■When completing the quest ED-E My Love, you're given a chance to upgrade the robot either by giving him to the Brotherhood of Steel, or the Followers. To achieve this upgrade, the entity is swapped out with an entirely different base ID, without making the inventory persistent. The effect of which is destroying any items in ED-E's inventory.

■Sometimes ED-E may be randomly attacked if the player interacts with people.

■To fix this issue on the PC, you can spawn the standard ED-E at your location using the console. Take your belongings from it, then destroy the temporarily spawned entity.

■When trying to pass under the floor of BoS underground base in hidden valley, ED-E may get stuck in the low floor when trying to follow you.

■While entering vault 34 ED-E may get stuck and leave your party and return to primm. When you return to primm, ED-E will begin to attack you with no chance of stopping the attacks. (360)

■Having ED-E wait anywhere until he returns to Primm may result in him becoming hostile to everyone, including your character. You may be able to retrieve your gear from him by pickpocketing.

■ED-E will disappear if you enter the Lucky 38 Casino. But cannot recruit Rex as It appears ED-E is still following you.

■ED-E will completely disappear and will not be at Primm or the Lucky 38. (360)

■Several staircases (with roofs/walkway covers) can cause ED-E to become immobile and/or phase through the bottom of the level (Confirmed PS3)


Didn't see the need to add them all to my list unless ppl are saying they're experiencing it now because I have no clue how out of date some of those are. Yours is already on the list "generalized" as Companions iniating combat with non hostile targets because other companions are doing it as well.

I'm not to sure if this is a glitch or not but after I listen to EDs message after going to the scraqe yard nothing happens. I tried just playing the message again but the quest still tells me to listen to the message.

So it is normal that with THE SAME intelligence level I will have alternating number of points (15/16) every other time? Where did you find it?
