ED-E no longer following me (possible mini-spoiler)

This ghoul has seen it all
wtf.

This is post-upgrade at Hidden Valley. I've tried telling him to wait, then follow. I've tried firing and re-hiring. I've tried entering and exiting buildings (he'll show up inside but not follow).


again...wtf.

:scratch:
 
What if you fire him, jump to some far away place, wait 24 hours and go back to him?
 
Yeah, disappearing companions is really a pain in the arse. The game should spawn followers always right near you, if you reloaded a savegame + didn't told them to wait. This way this problem could be pretty simple workarounded..
 
Blah, got a similar problem now. I needed to send Arcade home for a while, so I can do Cass' quests. Now I am done with Cass' quest and wanted to pick up Arcade again, but... there is no dialogue option for that. I can ask him what he thinks about the current situation and say bye, but nothing more.

Someone knows if that is possible to fix? I don't want anyone else than Arcade.

/Edit: Bleh, solved it. Looks like Arcade doesn't like mechanical companions. I had to kick out Rex in order to get the dialog option for Arcade again. After I picked him up, I took Rex again.

Feels like a bug in the way it is done...
 
He seems to be heavily bugged.

I've finished his quest long before I visited remnants bunker and there he's got broken. I've tried not taking him there, just sent him to Lucky 38, but he eventually died near the entrance to the Strip.
Tried other things, but in my walkthrough he seems to become broken by the endgame :(

Hmm, he joined me when I had Rex. I heard he hates ED-E though...

But yeah, I constantly had disappearing companion problems on my first playthrough, so I suggest everyone to write down companions' <prid> as soon as you hire them, just in case. Second playthrough, though, so far so good, nobody disappearing.
 
I've had no problem with ED-E, just didn't upgrade. Only thing he's useful for anyway is being a pack brahmin, high perception and fun battle music. Only time any companion ever stopped following for me was when I entered Lucky 38.
