@Ulb Hello!

I've always wanted to play through the series with an animal companion. Unfortunately, I seem to have run into a bug. I don't know if anyone will be able to help after all these years, but it's worth a try.

Here's what's happening:

I'm playing a Beastmaster, and when I reached level 3 in Beregost, I finally unlocked the long-awaited Find Companion ability. For some reason, the tooltip for the button displays the Lethal Poison description instead.

When I click the ability, a dialogue window opens with a couple of paragraphs about how the devil Thel'blax was the scourge of the armies of the Abyss, and so on. At the end, it suddenly describes the stats of some armor.

When I click Continue, I'm given two dialogue options. The first is literally the description of a pair of bracers for unarmed combat, and the second is Crimson Dawn +2.

If I choose Crimson Dawn +2, nothing happens. If I choose the first option, only in Beregost a dog companion is summoned, but it has several lines of strange text instead of a name. In every other area, I don't even get the option to summon the dog or any other companion.

I installed everything exactly according to the README, and I'm using the Steam version of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition. Is it possible that one of the recent Steam updates broke compatibility with the mod?

I'd really love to play through the game with a pet companion, so I'd really appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction or explain what might be causing this issue.

UPD: Silly me. Some smart people pointed out that I needed the DLCMerger. The problem is solved now.
