ED-e is missing work bench option

[SnackSnatcher]

I'm not sure when it disappeared but I used have access to it. He is upgraded from the followers and I have lonesome road installed which I completed also. Its weird, he doesn't give the option to open up the workbench. But I still have access to the motherboard upgrades from lonesome road.

Anybody else have this problem?

[SnackSnatcher]

Bump. I really want to know a fix so that I can use him

[V1olence]

Same for me.

Ok im not sure if this is the problem but it might be...

With lonesome road your NV Ed-e is linked to the lonesome road ed-e thus is the reason he gains the repair options, etc. If in lonesome road you use ed-e2 (i call the lonesome road one) and sacrifice him to stop the missiles, he dies, etc then ed-e2 is gone from the game, having saved everyone. Since ed-e 1 is linked, he loses his repair abilities since ed-e 2 is gone.

That might be a reason. I haven't tested it out myself but just seems a logical reason why the NV ed-e loses his connected repair functions. He normall doesn't have them he only has them if the lonesome road dlc is in the game, thus linking him to the lonesome road ed-e. If the lonesome road ed-e survives, maybe the NV ed-e keeps his linked repair ability.

Maybe? Sounds like a good reason.

Nope. Quote from fallout wikia.

With the Lonesome Road add-on installed, ED-E can be used to create items as if it were a workbench or reloading bench, through dialogue. This option will already be available even before Lonesome Road has begun

[EolSunder]

does he not have that option at all? have you completed lonesome road yet, or haven't did it yet.

Hes dialogue looks like normal follower dialogue - without workbench options. Just started new game. Lr.esm is on, and im have Lr starter quest.

I don't have the DLC yet, and my ED-E does not have a workbench option.
