Possible Bug? : Ed-E seems to be a target : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:47 am

Now, here's something that's come up just yesterday that's become quite annoying.

Current followers are Ed-E and Boone. Big surprise. With mainly a sniper build (and haven't gotten veronica yet), the dual-sniper setup works out great.

Problem.
In THREE different places
1) junkie camp (aerotek park or something)
2) McCarron camp/old air-strip
3) don't recall.

All three, the npc's were friendly. that yellow/orange color for neutral/friendly.
somehwere around 3-5 minutes of talking with people.... Ed-E suddenly becomes the SOLO target of everyone in the area. Not Boone, not myself, just Ed-E. The color-ticks even stay yellow/orange, NEVER turning red.

I made sure to check, and the floating backpack isn't even CARRYING any faction-specific items (fiend armor, legion armor, etc)....

Now, while at this point I probably COULD do without him, he's just useful as a 2nd companion, and with that huge added carry space, is just flat useful for some serious looting/lifting.

Has anyone else come across this, where all 'friendlies' in an area just target one of your companions, or Ed-E in particular?

(two of the times, i saved his a$$ with a quick leave-the area and fast-travel... since as they're still friendlies TO ME, that's not blocked at all. Third time.. I realized the time and went to bed

)

Yes There is a bug, I had it once, loading a save game had fixed this (In my case it was in Primm and I used the autosave entering the casino...). Since there I never got this problem again.

I had the same thing happen to me in Camp McCarren. Just wait it out and then they will stop for a bit.....if he kill one it is not a big deal either so then you get free stuff

Hmmm... alright. Mc Carron was the last one before bed actually, not 2nd..

And since I'm doing hardcoe mode.. Ed-E just flat died. as opposed to just unconscious.

Had this happen several times also. Seems ED-D likes to pick fights with the locals. He usually loses them too.

this happened to me too at 188 Trading Post. even reloading my previous save didn't help. They attacked him everytime I went there after a few minutes of talking to people.

Now, while at this point I probably COULD do without him, he's just useful as a 2nd companion, and with that huge added carry space, is just flat useful for some serious looting/lifting.

I have had this happen to me as well. I stopped putting my things in Lucky 38 (saddens me greatly). For future reference, you should start a new thread since this is not on topic of the OP's post. Nobody likes their thread to get hijacked.

Happened to me at camp Mc Clarran and also at Helios w "Dr" Fantastic, and (edit) the Primm casino

It's a nuisance!

As anybody considered that ED-E is enclave and a war bot, just a guess here, but he went after that guy who thought himself a ghoul, Chris is it?, perhaps there is some hidden programming that breaks through to destroy mutations, as I said, just a guess.

3) don't recall.

I've had that happen at the exact same places.

1) Happens in Aerotek Park when inside the room with the drug dealer/Caravan hustler.
2) Happens in Mccarren when i'm near the sniper squad in one of the tents.
3) Happens in Primm when inside the Casino.

it's a bug that seems related to those 3 places and only happens sometimes.

I haven't taken ED-E back into Primm's casino, but could try it.

No problems at McCarren, and haven't been to Aeroteck Park.
