Hey

Just started to play again after my days of exile waithing for the patch to fix the damn quests.

but i got insta [censored]slapped by ED-E getting attacked at random by civilians

anyone have a fix for this?

primm residents REALLY hate ed-e

Likewise, I left ED-E behind for a while (so I could complete some quests without losing him) and his companionship timed out. I went back to Primm to find him, and he instantly turned hostile. Is this a bug or part of the game? Is there a way around it other than the console commands (cf topic 1135322) to reset him?
For what its worth, I have not completed any of Eddie's quests, but I have unlocked his dialogue.
Thanks, all.

You probably have ED-E holding stolen goods.. i've had this happen to me when i stole some stuff from the Kings and stashed it on ED-E. The Kings then proceeded to attack ED-E.. strange stuff. I'd advise to be careful what you place on ED-E for the time being.

so the hostile companion glitch just might only be stolen goods? O.O never had the glitch yet with any companion...ed-e did go insane at one point in west side, no idea why, another game he didn't...first game went to 30 with no issues but that one time, this one maxed again with multi companion mod (lily, cass, raul, ed-e in group) and have yet to have anyone, either npc or companion go serial killer on me. near end game, hoover dam is all that's left. have never given any of them stolen goods though, or faction armor

I'm pretty sure it's not stolen goods that sets them off...I went out of my way to steal something in the Vikki and Vance Casino, put it on ED-E, and nothing happened. However when I put certain things on him...particularly booze, possibly, people kill him.

lol @ video...maybe they think he's...err it's some kind of booze pinata...gotta try that now, see if it happens in my game

edit: tried with scotch, whiskey, and vodka transferred, nothing happened went to primm, goodsprings, and sloan...no one cared. may be past the point where it would occur though, primm was occupied with deserters.

I had it one time, also in the casino, after reloading the autosave everything was fine and until now the problem did not occur again (more than 20 hours played after this)
