Thanks for the info. I guess to me it is not intuitive as to loot one item you right-click and you have to left-click in trade for one item. No big deal now. Thanks!
Yeah, the current inventory management system is kind of funky. Anyway, no problem!

So now I've hit a major bug - after offering to show me the upstairs library, Cecil heads up. But now that I've gone up, he's just standing in one spot, and hovering the mouse over him no longer gives me the option to talk with him. I can attack him or tick him off by stealing stuff, but he still won't start a regular conversation. Has anybody seen this bug, and if so, are there any tricks/cheats to fix/reset him? (Of course, I expected I'd run into something like this, but I really wanted to try to finish some quests with him.) Thanks!
