I hated in oblivion you could not drop a quest item even if it weighed allot
i hope they changed this in skyrim ..like you can put all quest items in a chest and you can come back for
but i dont want to kill a guy and then have to lug around 100 pounds of undroppable equipment

even better would be a pop up message..

'this is a quest item...drop? yes/no'

a warning to the player.

one reason I only open one gate in shivering isles so I only have to permenently have one gate key... also I never use either weapon merchant cos of the custom armour list they give you which you cant drop.

I think you will get your wish if we see all killable(besides children) NPC's.

Quest item didn't weight anything in Oblivion...

But I'm in with the message box idea.

yeah I always would drop out of the fighters guild for a while because having those weightless weapons from the goblin cave quest was nice
