Is this a glitch, or just poor planning?

I've noticed that in Skyrim, when I complete a quest, the quest item is stuck in my inventory. For example, I was sent to retrieve a flute for a lady in the Bard's College, but at the end of the quest she didn't take the flute--it's just hanging out there. I can't drop it, and it's taking up my weight capacity. :/ Glitch, or just Bethesda not realizing how annoying that'd be?

This seems to be a glitch that quite a few people are having. I did a little checking via Google and the flute, lute, and drum are all susceptible to getting stuck in inventory. There might be a console command that would remove them if you had an ID for the quest item.

Wow, that would stink. I don't play that game and I'm glad now. I bet it's something that they will fix soon though if enough people are complaining. I was going to check the game out this weekend too - glad I didn't.

What a pain that must be! Carrying capacity is (realistically) limited as it is. I hope they fix this in the next patch. I also hope they fix the fact that Skyrim doesn't fit on SD screens and the game screen is cut off. Now that's driving me crazy.

I have not played Skyrim, yet, but my friend bought it. He is having the same problem, with an item that is stuck. It is aggravating, when you can only hold so many items, and you can not get rid of one.

Even if Bethesda doesn't fix it, at least for PC gamers I'm sure that the modding community will. Modders will come up with just about anything--on my old Oblivion game, I downloaded a Bag Of Holding off of the nexxus for it.
