Sounds like OP is talking about having him as a companion to me.

I think you can hack robots while sneaking/hiding at that is what he means and finds faulty, since McCready is a human. But whatever

Goodneighbor

EDIT: Goodneighbor in Fallout 4. In Fallout 3, he was at Little Lamp or something like that... where it was all kids and they kicked you out once you reached a certain age. Don't recall seeing him in Fallout NV or 1 or 2 either, so not sure. Don't own 76 so I have no clue if he makes an appearance there or not either.

So McReady is a synth? I KNEW it!

The other day I went up against a Rust Devil who, when speaking, spoke like a synth. Even used some of the same comments you here from synths, like when he lost me (stealth warning goes from CAUTION to HIDDEN) and made the comment about the need to check his sensors. lol

I had a similar thing happen one other time where a human made robot noises and was so freaked out about it I immediately quit (all the way out to desktop) and then restarted and when I did he made human noises correctly. Maybe quitting and restarting will fix it for you?? If not, maybe restart prior to the encounter and see if it happens again?

I dunno, good luck.

I have had this happen on numerous occasions too! I don't know exactly what it is, but yeah it's SUPER CREEPY innit?

He must be a synth going haywire -- duck and cover.

Good that you can add the companion perks with a console command, else i would love to be able to hack a companion to get their perks faster and dismiss them again. This bethesda-forced runaround with a text-repeating mupped just for a perk is .... at last ridiculous after someone plays through a second time or more.....

To the problem - must be a mod, never had something like that on my own, looks like the id´s got changed somehow and he gets identified by the engine as something....different. I don´t know what mod that might be, i never had that behavior but as the engine already spawned and assigned him i don´t expect that this can be reverted without starting a new playthrough.
