I am currently doing an Independent play through on hardcoe and am around 125 hours into game so re-starting fills me with dread. ( Xbox - no DLC )
The problem arose when ED-E left my party and returned to Primm.
I hadn't entered the Lucky 38 at that time ( had that as my housing last time, wanted a change hence the Tops ) so couldn't tell them to wait there.
I had been 'decorating' my Presidential Suite at the Tops and had told Boone and ED-E to wait outside while I did the interior decor ( I wanted it to be a nice surprise lol ), well, after a couple of game hours, ( few in game days? ) they had both had enough of the suspense and sodded off home to Novac and Primm respectively ( I got a message while stacking pre-war books on the bookshelves ).
There was no problem getting Boone back on the 'Me for President' campaign, but when I enter the Nash's to get ED-E, she ( I think of it as female ) goes totally bat-sh*t and kills the Nash's before turning on me!
I have done the first part of ED-E my Love, got the first pre recorded message and left it there, my reputation is either neutral or positive with everyone except the Powdergangers ( wiped out the Prison ) and the Great Khans ( haven't even met them yet but am 'Hated' ).
I miss the Enhanced Sensors perk, it's a good early warning system.
Is there any way to 're-set' ED-E to friendly without backtracking hours in game?
