Okay so i'm trying to figure out where ED-E has gone and thats whatever...In the meantime i'm dealing with another issue...I know have to watch Victoria to make sure shes following me after entering a building or fast traveling to a new area. Sometimes i will check and she wont be moving, then shell start to run away at an uncatchable pace...If I catch her in time i tell her to wait, then i tell her to follow, she starts running! I usually just restart my box when i notice this, however sometimes im a few saves into a mission and i turn around only to find shes missing....Fallout 3> Fallout NV simply because of the stupid bugs

This has happened to me a few times, Arcade Gannon and Boone will run directly away from me at an insane pace, usually just after fast traveling. Sometimes they'll stop and come back, but usually they won't unless I rezone pretty sharpish. It usually happens after fast traveling, I think it's because there's something they were trying to do in the original area and were interrupted by your fast travel, so when you move they'll run back to where you came from to finish whatever it was that they were doing.
