Fallout New Vegas |OT| Obsidian does what Bethesdon't

Seems like the game was designed for the average player to murder the legion. Hell, I'm about 40 hours in and aside from Arcade, Boone has been the only human companion I've even encountered. Making him as awesome as he is only promotes the average player to keep him around, and we all know what happens when he gets around the Legion. There's been times when I feel like telling Boone to take a hike just for the sake of change, but in the spirit of companionship in the desert, it seems I just can't quit him.
I'm pretty sure it's the same in Oblivion and Fallout 3. I think having high sneak skill only makes a successful pickpocket more likely, not guaranteed. The weight and value of what you're trying to steal might also be a factor. What are you trying to steal exactly?Marvie_3 said:

i think pickpocketing also takes into consideration if or what kind of armor you are wearing.

I used a mod so that he wouldn't shoot at every legionary he saw, then we went in with the ferry and started shooting every legionary we saw.Vik_Vaughn said:
Sort of breaks his character but whatever, I'd like to think he's reasonable enough to restrain himself and not shoot guys in the head for a while.
In that vein, if I want to do a kill everything run -- and want to do it with a friend (before I kill him/her too) -- which companion(s) would be a good fit? I know Boone is all buddy-buddy with the NCR, so he's out. Do any of them have karma checks?

Is there an easy way to find one of my lost companions?
One minute Boone is with me, I fast travel, go about my way, get into a firefight, keep traveling, turn around and he's gone. Since he's always running behind me I have no idea where I lost him. I didn't tell him to wait anywhere and he didn't die.
Hours have passed. I've waited. I've slept for 24 hours. I went to recruit Cassie and she said something like "two's company, three's a crowd..."
Shitballs.

If you're on a console, you're probably screwed. I lost Veronica in Vault 11, I just went back last night and searching the place from top to button and there was no sign of her. I really wish Obsidian would patch whatever the problem is, I'm sure they could launch a patch that resets your living companions or some shit.

"I don't think Homies Over Hoes is a sentiment that A Pimp Named Slickback can cosign, Riley. I mean don't get me wrong. A Pimp Named Slickback would put a lot of things over a ho. Money over a ho? Always. Brand new gators over a ho? Absolutely. A turkey sandwich with just tomato? Guaranteed. But homies? Oh no. A Pimp Named Slickback don't do shit for the homies. Let me reiterate. Don't do shit for the homies. Unless the homie wanna walk that stroll and get that money, a homie ain't gettin' a goddamn thing. And the same goes for brothers, peeps, dudes, fellas, dunnies, comrades, whatever the fuck niggas is callin' each other nowadays. Sound like some gay shit to me."jett said:

I have come to the conclusion that the Sneak skill is mostly useless. Holdout weapons can do any casino-exclusive quests just fine, and as there are no real stealth attacks, it's not helpful in straight up combat situations either.

Is there a consensus on the
?
Not sure if that needs to be spoilered, but I'm playing it safe.

Is it worth pissing off the NCR to get it? Can you regain their favor through questions?

I got it and I didn't piss the NCR off at all. You can always regain favor through quests -- the NCR assassins give you 3 days to get your favor back up before they start attacking you.
It kind of sucks anyway.
Takes a long time to charge, and always blows up my companions

I'm trying to like this Obsidian, I really am. I even changed my mind about selling it to give it one more playthrough first. But 45 minutes into the new playthrough and it's already frozen. Eh... I guess the "Obsidoes what Bethesdon't" in the title isn't referring to quality control. Hurry up with that next console patch.

help!
ED-E got lost or something so I go back to
to find him, and he's going BERSERK! totally unloading on them and then he turns on me. I can't even talk to him because he's hostile. PC version BTW.
is there anything I can do or is ED-E lost to me forever?

PS3. It froze something like 15 times during my first ~50 hour playthrough. The second one isn't getting off to a great start. I actually didn't even get my copy until after the first patch had been released, I don't even want to imagine what it would have been like without it.
