ED-E (Lonesome Road)

ED-E (pronounced Eddie) is a companion living in the Divide in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Background
At first glance the Courier mistakes the robot with ED-E, who plays music from the movie "Ralphie". With an Intelligence of 6, the Courier deciphers the beeps and garble and realizes that the silo has "pretty advanced engineering capabilities" since it was able to remote-scan ED-E from the Mojave Wasteland and create copies within the Divide. If you do not pass this check, the player will still observe this, asking ED-E "So, you're like a robot clone?".

Upon joining the courier's party, ED-E starts playing a log from Dr. Whitley, and continues doing so at certain "checkpoints" during the trip through the Divide. Ulysses will also use ED-E to communicate to you throughout the divide.

ED-E will also show through certain dialog choices that he misses Dr. Whitley and that he wants to be like Ralphie. ED-E contains the detonator which activated the nuclear warheads at the divide, causing the massive destruction seen there. It was included in the construction after the incident at the divide.

For those who do not know, ED-E was originally shown in the E3 trailer in 2010 of Fallout: New Vegas. Notice the Honor student sticker and the license plate: 2ED-E59. To back up this information in Fallout: New Vegas the Lonesome Road dlc, ED-E plays an audio segment where he is shot by some raiders this is where the trailer comes into play.
