Fallout 2: Dead Pariah Dog Still Following

[Zero X. Diamond]

Me again. Another problem I've come across since fixing my party is that even though the Pariah Dog is dead, its dead body is still being considered part of my party and appearing with us every time we move to a new area of a town. What's more is that it's also left the "Jinxed" perk on me. It's been this way ever since I killed it on first encounter--I'm guessing that killing it when I first saw it has something to do with why this is happening? I've tried just manually deleting the perk with the Fallout 2 Character Editor I downloaded, but the trainer just displays Jinxed as " (1)" and won't let me touch it.

So, can I fix this? If so, how?

 

[Per]

This is a problem in the unpatched version. I don't know if there's a way to fix it once it happens. If you have the US version you should get the patch and use the savegame converter to avoid further buggage.

Alright, well, I already patched and updated my save files last night due to the car vanishing bug affecting my travel in San Francisco. As for fixing it once it happens, are there any utilities out there in which you can manually remove party members or set and unset flag variables? I can't claim that I'd know where to start, but it's really starting to upset me and given my current level of F2 addiction, I'd probably be willing to spend a day just setting and unsetting crap to get this thing sorted out.
