I lost Ed-E so I dismissed my companions and went back to Primm to get him and from the minute I walked in the door people started screaming watch out and running from me.Anyone know what's going on?

are you the elephant man?

Faction armor?

Have you looked in a mirror lately?

Deoderant?

Forgot your pants again?

Are you entering that casino across from the rollercoaster? One time I

Try throwing a gun on the ground and see if anyone picks it up and attacks you lol.

Was Ed-e hostile to you? There was a bug when if he left your party under certain circumstances that when you went to go back and get him at Primm he would be hostile to you. The barkstrings you're hearing are the type of barkstring that gets played when npcs from one faction are around you when you are in combat with another faction. They may be running around, crouching or cowering, or they could just be standing there. I've also had things like this happen when for some reason the engine doesn't "stop combat" properly after a fight and npcs seem to keep reacting like combat if still going.

-Gunny out.

Those people will attack you for picking up a stepped on cigarette off the floor. :confused:

I'm guessing the latter. I've seen that bug numerous times. Since it never really seemed to affect anything, though, I never worried about it. The only real trouble it's given me is that I might have to chase down a merchant as they try to run away.
