From the beginning: I spoke to an NPC who said they had something really heavy they needed transported. I could just barely lift that weight, so I went somewhere to hide my inventory. I finished the quest, went to pick up my inventory but it was gone -- apparently I didn't hide it well enough, or rather I probably should have used an alt.
I was aware of the possibility, which is why I kept the things I considered irreplaceable with me -- my crafting recipes. Other non-purchasable items brought me over my limit and weren't central to my character -- glyphs, a certain ancient sword, a certain note i got as a quest reward.
My question is, will not having these in my inventory hinder me in acquiring quests? I don't mean not being able to finish a quest because I needed an item which was a previous quest reward, but not being given a quest because I did not have a particular item on me. I already figured that certain quests are pre-requisites to others (even not from the same NPC), but I read a thread somewhere that suggested even the presence of certain items might be significant.
Could someone in the know comment on the issue, and if it's true, is there anything I can do to un-block myself?
