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 entering that casino across from the rollercoaster? One time I
Spoiler
Got ambushed by some NCR deserters who I ended up having to kill. maybe some friendly fire happened if that happened to you and they flag you as an enemy or something?

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.

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.

Good answers guys.Not helpful but entertaining.I finally went back to a save where he was there which worked out for me anyway because I was having trouble with the Beyond the Beef quest.All is good.

I had this situation once, where my three companions were constantly entering and exiting battle mode. After 20 minutes of hearing Boone say "All mine!" every 3 seconds, I did a whole slew of AI related console commands and half-accidentally fixed it :P

Sometimes I get this happen to me for no real reason. Have you tried fast travelling somewhere else and back and reloading the area? Do they still react like that?

And, Pistolero, Boone can talk like that in my ear whenever he damn well pleases. :thumbsup:
