ED-E WHAT ARE YOU DOING

My courier 6 in New vegas with my girl cass and my robot guy.

@neoclasikunt and I were playing New Vegas yesterday and we had this odd moment when we were doing Joana's mission where Ed-E wouldn't stop staring at her.

Therefore, this was out interpretation.

Smh, dirty minded robot.

I’ve just been using Pluto as my courier’s name as like a placeholder. Anyway on to more bits between them and yes man.

I projected my autism onto the courier and got Pluto.

So before getting shot by Benny I like to think that Pluto took on the job of courier cause it was a simple delivery job taking stuff from point a to b. It doesn’t involve talking much either! So what was supposed to be an easy to understand gig for someone who has a difficult time with regular jobs and social interaction.

I also like to think they weren’t selectively mute before getting shot but just was so bad at social interaction that they didn’t have many people to talk to. But I’m sure if they did find someone to talk to they yapped as much as they could before continuing with a delivery.

Post-Benny though, I have it so the damage they gained actually made it difficult for them to formulate sentences properly and so talking took a lot of effort and was exhausting at first. So for most of the storyline they remained mute and only spoke with one word responses.

After getting Boone at Novac to join them on the revenge quest they began practicing how to do small signals with Boone as another way of communication. ED-E was the next companion and Pluto spent their alone time with ED-E practicing sentences and responses. Mostly cause they get embarrassed when trying to talk to others so practicing with someone who doesn’t have any opinions on their speech was a welcome addition.

When they got to the strip they had already accumulated a fair bit of caps and payed for fake passports in freeside. But once in the strip it was already a bit overwhelming with all the lights and sounds.

Making their way to the tops casino was easy with help from Boone. The only out of the ordinary decision Pluto made when confronting Benny was using the black widow perk and making short but effective charms to lure Benny away. After the whole sleeping together and shooting him after bit there was a fair bit of regret in the choice as instead of feeling satisfied with Benny being dead it just felt kinda hollow.

But after a bit of snooping and wearing Benny’s suit, they come across the guy to answer all their problems.

See interacting with robots is so much easier than humans. And that’s cause they aren’t mean or judgmental, well at least all the ones Pluto’s met.

Talking came easy after all the practice with ED-E with a handful of a few mistakes hear and there.

Yes man at the time being forced to be very very nice and unable to say no didn’t go unnoticed but with the couriers help they used some loopholes to help yes man give honest answers.

Having someone wanting his honest opinion was a welcome change for yes man and having a friend that explained stuff in the simplest way possible was always welcome for Pluto.

And so a close friendship began and a plan to take over the Mojave for the better was set in motion.

Of course with the little bit of tech knowledge the courier had they helped Yes man with more then an assertive upgrade and was able to make him his own independent person.

I’ll go into more details on it some other time but for now I think these are enough thoughts. :3

Does ED-E swear, the age old question.

Personally, I think he does but only rarely and generally is seen as a ‘kid friendly’ bot until one day he drops a fuck and anyone around who can understand bots goes “you can swear???? I didn’t know you could do that…”

Anyway, poll, drop your explanations too

(share for sample size)

True to his character, Riley’s first ‘companion’ he meets on the initial journey to track down Benny is the little dude himself- ED-E! So his early travels are basically the tales of an anxiety ridden mess of a man and his two adopted robot children.
