Lost ED-E because the Game doesn't tell when he dies ...

Post » Thu Jun 10, 2010 12:45 pm

I noticed that the game does not give me any NPC-Death Popup when ED-E dies ( seen him explode a few times with no popup ) - but so far i was able to revert to earlier saves.

Not this time.

Is there a way with cheats to resurrect him ? Maybe even with his full inventory ?

And no, this isn't related to his Quest, i finished that long ago and got him back from Primm. He isn't in Primm or the Lucky 38 either, and i didn't give him a wait-command.

Dammit :(

Have you tried using a console command to teleport to ED-E?

He's died numerous times in my game, and I've gotten a pop-up every time he does.

I remember having gotten popups at the beginning, but at some point it stopped. I saw him explode multiple times and dying with no popup. When Boone died it gave a proper popup every time ( i had both in my party most of the game ). Not sure what triggered this bug.

@sear : Which command would that be ? I'd like to try it.

In the meantime i managed to spawn another ED-E using the player.placeatme command, but of course the inventory is still gone.

So i would like to suggest that when ED-E dies, he should leave a little scrap-heap that contains all his inventory and can be looted, to at least give the player a chance to know where ED-E died and recover possibly important items. ( Yeah, as if the powers that be would read this :/ )

Have you checked if you still have his perk?

I lost him at the bottom of a Valt when I took out the air vents (which was crap as i had taken the grenades on a previous visit so i had to shoot and haul ass!) the game thinks he is still with me, I have the perk! just no companion. same has happened with veronica

I'll keep an eye on him and see if I stop getting pop ups as well.

I actually bumped ED-E's hit points up to 500 with the console - I got sick of having to reload every time a mole rat took a chomp out of him. He's definitely no Broken Steel Dogmeat.
