Is there a way to get rid of items

Post » Mon Dec 12, 2011 5:16 pm

So sometimes i find this random things that don't seem to have a quest or the is just to long/boring to bother like Unusual Gems. Those items combined weigh a lot and is there a way to lose that weight? I like the way oblivion allowed you to get rid of stuff even thought it might be important to a quest.


If you take all this things and add them together then it you either have to get a companion which i don't like because they are stupid and run into things all the time or you just have to have your inventory full of stuff you can't use or sell.

Thanks

btw i play on xbox.

Apparently, these quest items don't actually weigh anything despite saying that they do. All I wish is that the "unusual gems" would stack. They currently do not.

I don't know where people get this that quest items don't weigh anything... I got a 20 kg (or whatever the weight is called in the game) item and it definitely got showed up on my weight limit...

I have not tested it myself, but I got this notion from a thread on reddit, where several people were unconvinced, said they tested it, and then reported back that the items were, in fact, weightless. I can't say one way or the other, but I believed it at the time. I am going to test it right now. Will report back.

NO. Oblivion would not let you get rid of everything quest-related. And I'm noticing Skyrim has the same policy: some things can be dropped, others cannot.

Other than this, I'd say if you want to get rid of stuff, can't you just sell it? Store it? Drop it somewhere? I know for a fact the chest in the basemant of Alvor and Sigrid's house (Riverwood) does not respawn. I've been having my Nord store lots of stuff (including gold) there.

Confirmed. I just dumped my entire inventory except the stuff marked as quest items, and I am at 0. They don't weigh anything.

Sorry. I didn't think about that. It's just a picture of my inventory for anyone wondering. You will see item names only. Click at your own risk.
