I have a bug involving Ed-e. It won't go passive. It is stuck on aggressive so if I try to sneak it'll start it's rawhide music or whatever and go off shooting everything in sight, thereby alerting them to my presence. Is anyone else unable to turn Ed-e passive?

set him to melee only, I think what happens is that he automatically starts shooting if anything nearby is aggrod. When set to melee, he own't fire back, so you can avoid the aggro.

I have had similar problems. I left him in a room with some friendly NPC's and left and then came back and he started attacking them, only fix was to not go in, grab him with "prid" and do a "moveto player".

I can confirm same issue, won't change to passive.

ED-E does seem to have some problems. His quest is sensitive to bugging, he attacks whatever he feels like and my ED-Es health is something like 270/180.. god knows where he got the extra 90 from.

For a start, ED is clearly meant to be a female mechanical companion. Second, it does exactly what it is supposed to do, engages hostile targets. Anything else, if beyond doubt, you should make it wait. Differentiating friend or foe is at user discretion, not that of an artificial intelligence. (Or at least that is how I think it has been designed.) It would be easy to change, they didn't. I think purposefully.

If that's how it's supposed to be, they broke all the other companions, because every other companion I have, when set to passive, doesn't attack everything that moves. They wait till I attack something and then start attacking as well. So obviously there are two possibilities here; 1, you are right and they have Ed-E working exactly as planned, but screwed up every other companion because their, and your, definition of passive is "shoot indiscriminately". Or 2, The other companions work as they should, and Ed-E is infact not working correctly, because they screwed up the passive/aggressive toggle.

Sounds more likely that passive, which is the opposite of shoot indiscriminately, should actually mean passive like all the other companions, which leads me to believe the problem is #2.

He attacks unprovoked on people who arnt even hostile to the Courier.. He just starts zapping random NPCs. If thats what he is supposed to do then they should warn the player that the companion is [censored] awful. Have you actually used ED-E by the way?

I was about too make A post about this..

Not sure what happen .. he was doing good. Was staying back and not attacking. Now he is running of charging in .. it really mess up my steak build I have goin. I really just want him too follow and hold my loot like he was for the first 14lvls.

Things I have tryed , Changed him to passive in the wheel and threw talk. I have done the BoS armor upgraed. He wont stop running off .. too stuff in rooms that I have too go too. He is bugged.

Microsoft created him, what do you expect?

im haveing a the same peroblem with the passive / agressive with e-ed aslwell she's not just attacking random frendly people, boone the extreamly over powerd ranger that 2-3 shots everything in very hard mode is also buged
