Most of us thought this would still be in, but confirmation is nice regardless. Pete seems to be answering some questions today (he confirmed animal companions, no dodge roll, perks past level 50, and now this).

Someone asked, "Will we be able to grab things in Skyrim like we could in Oblivion?"

His response was "Yup. Click A to pick it up. Hold A to grab it in the game and move it around without picking it up."

Wait, we can get perks past level 50?

Please tell me who thought this wasn't in....

Awesome! I was hoping that it'd still be there. Thanks to whomever asked.

Yes. Pete confirmed it on twitter today.

nice, animal companions

YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats what I wanted to know thanks!

Maybe they would have axed it because it's too complicated and needed to be streamlined because moving objects is redundant, but replace it with "blowing on an object" which would be a trainable skill

When I saw the title I thought Peter Molyneax had got his fingers into Skyrim with the whole "you can grab your girlfriends hand and run with her through the streets" :rofl:

Holding down A grabs the item and it stays 'grabbed' allowing you to freely move around until you press A again releasing the item.

Hmmm. That sounds good.

lol forget grabbing, I'm just glad to see we can keep getting perks.

Hopefully pressing A again releases the item instead of taking it.

thank god.. no wait thank Todd.

Ah, i always did love throwing misc items at people in Oblivion
