Drop items on PC.

Post » Mon Sep 27, 2010 11:50 am

I have a wish that should be very easy for Bethesda to do,and very important for those that will play the game at PC.
It has to do with discarding items.

I played Oblivion at both xbox360 and PC,and I have to say that the way someone could drop something from the inventory is far more better and easier at xbox than on pc.

At xbox,you have to push a button and the item just drops to the floor.
That's all.

At PCs you have to position the mouse pointer atop the item,press and hold left button mouse and then drag it to the space out of the GUI and then leave the button.
But sometimes the pointer doesn't catch the object,and doesn't drag it,meaning we have to do it again and again until it finally catches it.
And if that wasn't enough,most of the times we want to drop something the message that "there is not enough room to drop" is showing up,and it's frustrating.

So what I'm asking from Bethesda is to make it easier for the player to drop items from the menu.
Imagine being over-encumbred during a battle and wanting to drop an item quick so we can move and maneuver,and having to pause the action to get at the inventory menu,and having to do all the drag and drop right,and if it not work the first time having to unpause the action so we can move the mouse so the player can look at another angle,while the enemies keep attacking us,and then open the inventory menu once again to do it all over.
And all this frustration can be avoided if the only thing we have to do to drop something is press a single button,or if we could "right click" on the item,and then select "drop" from a sub menu.
Please Bethesda,I know you can make it !!!

Um... Maybe it's just the mods I'm using but, try shift-clicking on the item.

Fallout was easier I believe you just right clicked for that, if they use that I think it should be fine
what really was annoying was bartering god I hope they fixed that, so everytime I sell an item it doesnt ask if I am sure

Really ? Shift and click ?
I'd never guess.
But if a push shift and click,would there still be a moment where I will have to unpause the action and roll the mouse to point at a different angle to drop the item ?
Or it doesn't need to if I do that way ?

You didn't even have to shift-click, in Oblivion you could go to your inventory screen then just press and hold down the left mouse button on the item you want to drop - a quick click equips an item, press and hold drops it on the floor in front of your feet*. If that is considered 'difficult' these days then I wonder what is happening to the world!

* Or perhaps the way I should have phrased that would be "in front of where your feet would be if you could see your own feet" :thumbsup:

Oh god yeah the "how many do you want to sell/drop/shove up your own behind" nonsense - yes I could definitely do without that.

They really need to fix that in Skyrim. Hit "A" for all, be it dropping or trading. That and how it re-centers after you sell an item to a merchant.

There's mods that fix that. But there shouldn't have to be in the first place.

Really ?

I can't understand why they put so many ways to drop items,and didn't wrote them at the manual booklet.
