can i console off EDEs perk or will that break something later on down the road?

U could just blow up E-DE...or you know send him back to Primm

Yeah, check the fallout wikia for console commands
remove perk command + ede perk ID should do the trick

i want EDE around for story purposes and also he is useful for carrying my ingredients. just dont like the perk cause it takes the fun out of exploring. i played a while without EDE and it was more fun cause i was caught off guard a couple of times by radscorpions.

i was just wondering if anyone tried it and if it broke anything in the companion quests or something.

its safe to use

cool..........thanks.

I think that the console syntax is:
