Would you name me at least one 'junk' item?
Everything you can pick up can be used.
Oh come on now, I think you know what he means! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
He means that the vast majority of stuff will be useless because it's considerably inferior to what you'll already have. And it's that way quite deliberately too.
But if you want to be pedantic about it there ARE various items like rotten food, garbage, straw (which you can click on to pack into a sheaf or unpack but can't sell or sleep on) , almost all the rope (I think there's one kind in one spot that actually does something, the rest is unsellable, unusable junk), and various other items that you can pick up but not use. (Not at the right machine to check, so you can probably shoot me down on some of those, but there are definitely some completeless useless but collectible items, including chairs, packages of various sizes, etc).
The point is though that there are a vast number that could technically be potentially useful, but which in practice never are - by design. Endless inferior weapons and armour items plus things like Cup (1 gold). Wow, I’d better lay in a stock of those. Might be handy in case I ever open one of those bottles (5 gold). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
