Rossum Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 ED-E is a pretty good companion and there are two quests where you can give him to groups so that they can extract data from him. The Followers use his data to harness the power of the sun and the Brotherhood would build an army of Eyebot duraframes. But Mr. House and Yes Man are using Protectrons which are big, expensive, apparently need extra drivers to use their own weapons, and of course only have one wheel! (Seriously, if the Legion or NCR decide to dump caltrops all over the road to pop their tires then you've got a bunch of heavily armed robots falling over and tripping on one deflated wheel... perfect for a sniper to take them out from a distance). So, why not have Team Robot build an army of duraframe eyebots and spread them over the wasteland? It would be kind of like how the Enclave was doing it in Fallout 3 except these eyebots can be a fighting force on their own. What they lack in individual strength they could make up for in numbers, manuverability, and their enhanced sensors. Basically, have some way to build an army of ED-Es (maybe ED-NA for Eyebot Duraframe - Networked Army) and spread them all over the Mojave.. preferably in groups of three so that they aren't easily picked off by the wildlife like the eyebots in Fallout 3 were, Maybe an option to make them a companion... leave ED-E safe at the lucky 38 while you can bring the mass-produced copies on your adventures. If one of the copies gets trashed then just pick one out of its patrol to follow you (or maybe repair the broken one if you have the skill, time, and parts). But anyway, I think an army of armored eyebots would be just as good if not better than an army of huge armored one-wheeled robots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntsman2310 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) maybe they could be built to supplement the securitrons, be their scouts so to speak? maybe they could also act as propaganda speakers for Mr House's Regime?

palginator Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 There is a mod which allows you to get a perk to build robots and deploy them. For example i have 6 eyebots in my inventory whenever i need them just in-case. You can also build other robots such as sentry bots. Once again tho this is a perk from a mod so you need to earn it first. There are also some other good perks with it http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35979 the perk to build the robots is called grease monkey and you get it at level 26.
