i still have ed-e, following me around as normal. i loaded my game after getting the dlc, and headed back to novac to leave ed-e and cass there. they both stayed there. i spoke to Jed, then spoke to the geeky guy and got the speech bonus so i could carry up to 100 pounds of equipment (confimed in my mission list), rather than 75. i reduced my loadout to 96 pounds, my map says ed-e and cass are still at novac, but Jed is still telling me i cant start because "you need to leave your friends here".
whats going on ? ive been waiting patiently for more dlc, i love this game, despite its many glitches and faults, but not being able to even start my new dlc is a bit of a pisstake.
