Cannot get rid of quest related books.

Hi guys,


So it appears that the bug revolving around quest related books is alive and well in this version as well! In the very beginning of the game you find a bandit hangout that has a copy of Night Falls on Sentinel. The book is acquired well before the quest to retrieve it is. Fast forward to Dawnstar and the smith in the city asks you to bring him a copy of said book. So I give him the one I've already found. Quest completes. Here's the problem, eventually you'll find your way to the cave known as Swindlers Den. Inside the cave is another copy of Night Falls on Sentinel. This copy is apparently the copy linked to the smith's quest, that was completed long before entering this cave. Be careful picking this copy up, once you do you're stuck with it forever.


Hope this gets fixed.

This is another predictable mod opportunity that will happen long before Bethesda fix it.


It's not just that book. You can amass a TON of non-droppable quest objects, and if you don't want to do those quests right away they'll sit their in your inventory accumulating and haemorraging carry weight as they stockpile. Certain points in the game dump loads of these on you at once.


Quest objects should be stashable. If the player dumps or sells things he later needs, yes he's screwed - but with risk comes responsibility. If you have a "stash anything" mod and you're still selling or dumping things you aren't sure are safe to sell or dump, then it's nobody else's fault if you get stuck as a result.
