My beloved ED-E!

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 10:57 pm

I'll keep it simple: I had ED-E wait until he returned to Primm. I went to Primm to pick him up, I enter the room and he's hostile, shooting at me and the people in the room.


I searched for a solution in Google beforehand and several others had the same account. This seems like a pretty big issue, especially considering how fond of the little ball of scrap I am :'(

Any fixes? Anyone else having this problem? Is this even something Obsidian can fix at this point, or have I lost him forever?

I have not had this issue but I warn you if you get it worked out, if you had anything on the lil guy when Lorenzo(or whoever) took him, its lost once you get him back, gone forever, never to return, and I had lots of nice stuff on him.

Eh, just some cool [censored] I don't usually use, like the chainsaw and a special minigun.

I really hope they get it fixed though, he really is my favorite companion, and I'd rather lose Raul or Veronica any day over him.

My problem is that once I turned him over for upgrades (tried reloading and attempting with both factions) he got broke. The first time I took the 3-4 days to do some skill book and star cap hunting as well as selling/buying items. So I had quite a few hours of game play done when he returned to Primm.

So I go pick him up and fast travel to get back to questing. Problem is, he won't follow me. As soon as I zoned in from fast travel I was in combat. He neither played his combat music or shot at the enemies. He just sat there. So I went to the crashed b-29 bomber to deal with that for the Boomers and when I came back to the shoreline Boone was there, but ED-E was still sitting at the campgrounds that I fast traveled to in order to do the quest.

Kind of a bummer, but I have a high PER and never used him to store stuff. So I just left him in Primm and got Rex instead.

My Ed-E just disappeared one day in the middle of a battle with a deathclaw. I was in VATS shooting at the deathclaw and he was there...then after the battle he was gone. I didn't tell him to wait or to go to the suite or anything. I still have his perks, so he's not dead...

Luckily I already recruited Rex or I'd be really mad. He did take off with a bunch of armor and weapons though, so that totally svcks. And I liked having him as back-up. Now I'm paranoid to let any of my other followers carry anything halfway important or valuable because I'm afraid they may disappear too.

Also, I've kept count and my game has frozen and needed a hard reset a total of 28 times in about 50 hours of gameplay. It's ridiculous. The glitches in this game really ruin the mood created while playing it.

I read this in another post and tried it out and it worked for me. Just go to vault 22 and use the elevator. When the selected floor loads missing companions should be with you again. Now if there was only a way to get companions who lost their way after I sent them to Lucky 38 to show up again that'd be great.
