ed-e dissappeared on me, i still have his perk, and when i tried to do the quest with rex it says i have to get rid of him first, but he is invisible/non existant. this is on non hardcoe more so hes not dead. I tried quick traveling but he still doesnt show up. I tried going back to primm thinking he glitched there but he wasnt where he returns to... so now what?

I lost Ed-e once and freaked out. Went back to Primm to look for him. He wasn't in the Mojave Express. Then I wondered if it took traveling time for him to get back. So I used Wait for 2 or 3 days game time, went in the shop and he was there.

Turns out if a companion heads 'home' they don't do it instantly, and if you walk or fast travel there you will always beat them back. So wait outside in Primm for 24 hours at a time, keep checking for Ed-e. If he doesn't show up in a week I would say you are defiantly glitched.

But waiting did work for me.

k ill give it a shot. i didnt tell him to go back though, he was just gone all of a sudden, i didnt even notice he was gone.

i wish you could give commands to your followers with out having to walk all the way up to em.

I agree.

Even if you didn't tell him to go back, he might have anyways. Keep your fingers crossed. But not too hard judging from everyones experience with the game this first week.

yep just waited a week in game, he didnt show...
is there a console comand to make him go away?

ok..so searching the fallout 3 wiki i think this might work...

in command type:
prid 1732di
disable

that should disable him.

i donno if i break the game ill just revert back to a save lol

I can't even get my console to come up when I press ~

ok well i killed ed-e ( lil bastard ruined my gaming night anyways )
i went:
prid 1732d1
enable
moveto player

then i exited console. he attacked me so i went back into console and typed

kill

he blew up then i lost my perk...was able to get rex after that. i exited the game so hopefully the console bug doesnt get me
