Oh boy, here I go again.
Everytime I interact with npcs I HAVE to save prior to and be wary of the reaction post-convo. It happens too often that ED-E is being targeted and attacked by all the npcs in the area for no reason. Only ED, me and Boone are still "friendly". All the ppl attacking ED are green on my compass. Major WTF?! in that case I tell you.
Any clue what causes this?
Game bugged beyond belief.
I have no idea, but I had the opposite reaction once. Saved before fast traveling. Fast traveled to Freeside (where I was Liked) with ED-E and Boone and - the next thing I know - everyone is running around ducking their heads and screaming in fear. At first, it was kind of funny. After a few minutes and being unable to interact with ANY NPCs anymore (and, thus, unable to complete any more quests of any kind), it quickly became game-killing.
I tried having both ED-E and Boone leave as companions, but that didn't solve it. I tried fast traveling away and then back again by myself. Same thing. It's like I was suddenly the Abominable Snowman or something.
Had to re-load my previous save (glad it was so recent!). There seems to be no fix for it on a console other than reload. Once the NPCs start freaking out (with fear or hostility), it's permanent and game-breaking.
