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?".

There is some confusion as to how LR ED-E came into construction, it is suggested in the game that the detonator (the package that talked) was in fact this version of ED-E. This however cannot be true as it and all the other divide eyebots were constructed by the divides computers and are all cloned from the original ED-E. This model is most likely the one Ulysses stored the activation codes for the nuclear warheads, which would eplain why it has a unique personatity (direct memory clone from original ED-E) and why Ulysses needs you to transport it across the Divide.

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 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.

ED-E will also show through certain dialog choices that he misses Dr. Whitley and that he wants to be like Ralphie.
