I am reinstalling and checking all my products and I discovered that in order to use Capces Poses and Expressions for Darius 8 you also have to purchase Merlins Battle Blades? This is the first time I have noticed you must buy other products to use a product included in the Pro bundle ... does this happen alot?

Happened with a set of poses for Darius 7 too IIRC. Some pirate poses I think it was. Had to have some pistols/blunderbuss props of some sort.

Yep you are correct @AllenArt for the Sea Dog Poses you also require Pirate Weapons for G3 male and female .. I don't know why I never noticed this before. It's kinda annoying to know you have to purchase another item to use what's in a probundle. At least Merlins product is a PC item and only 2.79 I think but the Pirate Weapons is 12.57 on sale right now and a Daz Original. Definitely going to watch out for this going forward ...
PS They should have a disclaimer on the probundles that do this ... Requires other products not included in probundle
I guess it probably would be perfectly possible to use a similar item - maybe even a freebie found somewhere - instead of these "required" items. The pose itself will work, but might need some slight adjustment...
Of course, for people who just "work out of the box" this is no solution
the sea dog poses say under required items that the weapons are needed and in the promos there are weapons in their hands, so it makes sense that you would need the weapons for the poses to be complete.
Same for the Darius poses, there are weapons in their hands and it says they are required to make the poses work as advertised. I guess it would be best if these were not included in a pro bundle, but I don't see it as a major deal and you can still use the poses, you'll just have to use different props if you don't have the ones in the promos.
No not a dealbreaker, just didn't realize that this is done. When deciding to purchase a probundle I am usually looking at the character, hairs and clothing items included never the pose sets as they aren't top of mind when making the decision to purchase. Going forward its now something I will check, the only reason I noticed it is I loaded a pose for Darius 8 which had a weapon in the pose and got an error message saying I was missing textures not missing a weapon and I was figuring out why I was getting an error message, I thought part of the package didn't install correctly at first. I don't recall this happening when loading these type of poses prior...
