It all started the first day I found ED-E rusting on the counter and decided to bring him along.
I had already completed the questline in Primm and was heading into Vikki and Vances to unload
some merchandise. Upon entering everyone immediately turned on my freindly bot and blew him
to bits, then went back to there normal habits, ignoring my presence all together. Quite upset I just
lost my new companion I reloaded my auto save and continued to play as normal. Since then I have
had about half a dozen encounters were freindly npc's turn on ED-E and fight to the death with him.
this has caused,

"The Great Massacare of Goodsprings"
ED-E systematicly killed every townsfolk while I watched in awe.

"Mojave Outpost Rebelion"
The NCR troops begain attacking ED-E untill he was dead, then turned on each other
killing most of the outpost including Cassidy.

and who can forget

"New Vegas Robot on Robot Crime"
While exploring out side Lucky 38, Protectrons turned hostile on poor ED-E,
turning him into a scrap pile. Boone, enraged by the death of his fellow mate,
began firing wildly into the air causing wide spread panic. This lead to the death
of an innocent bystander known only as "The Courier".


Now seriously, has this happened to anyone else? Its quite annoying when i'm
playing on hardcoe. Is this a glitch or am I triggering this to happen some how?
its happened on a few diffrent saves now, and given the amount of glitches in this
game I wouldnt be surprised if this was one more. In normal mode they will stay
hostile with him even after he dies. They just kill him over and over again untill I leave
the area.

!! HAHA funniest thing ive read all day, thanks for the laugh.

but honestly that svcks.. i don't know why that happened but im sure its either a glitch, or ED-E got mad? :brokencomputer:

I'd put my money on a glitch?

Did you ever try to store faction armor in ED-E?

very true. And do you think if ED-E killed a faction member, the apposing faction or followers would attack?

I did on my first save but it says he cant wear faction armor and it drops to the floor, I havent tried to since.

I've never seen it reported that the armor gets dropped to the floor. Only that it disappears.

Leads me to an unconfirmed speculation that it gives him the disguise functionality as a bug. I'm asking because I'm looking for more data.

I just loaded up my game and gave both Boone and ED-E Legion Explorer Armor
it says Your companion is unable to wear that armor and the item disapears from the
inventory. when i exit the menu the armor is lying on the floor infront of them.
I did this in the middle of town as well, no one went hostile towards them.

Rex and ED-E both have dysfunctional personalities and will randomly attack certain npc types.....I know Rex has an annoying trait of hating people who wear hats and I have had to reload from my last save many times because of it.

Did you do that in a town that is hostile to the Legion?

I did it in Goodsprings, i just tried it on them with Powder Gang Guard Armor there as well same
outcome, all done infront of Easy Pete and some townsfolk
