📋 About This Mod
ED-E upgraded is a small mod I made as a test of adding perks to companions.
This mod gives ED-E the Light Step perk. It also gives ED-E both upgrades no matter if you choose to bring him to The Brotherhood of Steel or The Followers of the Apocalypse. I like ED-E's iconic default appearance, so he keeps that after receiving the upgrades. ED-E has been given his melee weapons in both normal and upgraded forms which was also a bug. In upgraded form the buzzing from his upgraded Zap Gun has been removed as I believe it was a bug.
I recommend that the mod be added to your merged or bashed patch to cut down on your load order.
There are other mods doing some of these things, but none of them worked for me and only provided visuals and not the actual upgrades. This mod is tested and working and shouldn't cause any problems. It will conflict with other mods that edit ED-E, but is easily merged with them.
Change Log:
1. 0 - Initial Release
1. 1 - ED-E now retains default appearance when upgraded. Script updated to stop the start-up quest from always running. Stun Batons added to ED-E's inventory. Upgraded Weapon idle noise removed.
This mod is not compatible with Tale of Two Wastelands.
