'Ello folks, long time since i last posted. i've finally started to play BG:EE, and it's quite awesome! the team did a great work, and overall, the game is really great to play.
Anyway, to the question/problem:
well, although i don't like creating a mage as a main character, i do like the idea of having a familiar, specially since i'm playing as a ranger (archer)... to do so, i use the EE Keeper (a program similar to the well-known BG Keeper and Shadow Keeper, but to be used in the Enhanced games).
The thing is, since rangers are limited to good alignments (Lawful, neutral and chaotic good), doing so gives me either a pseudo-dragon (if neutral or lawful good), or a fairy-dragon (if chaotic good)... i really wanted a ferret for familiar, so i tried to use the EE keeper to give me one; however, afeter i add the desired familiar to my inventory and try it in-game, nothing happens after i click the 'release familiar' option.. the familiar simply vanishes from the inventory, and nothing is released! I've also tried to change my alignment to lawful neutral, and , after i used the spell, i did receive a ferret, but as soon as i release him and put him back into my backpack, he vanishes.
-----------------
TL;DR, i'd like to ask if someone knows a workaround or a way to add the familiar of your choice, either through EEKeeper or other method.
Sorry if this is not the appropriate place to post this question, and also sorry for any typos and stuff, but english is not my first language
