he himself said, rather emphatically and dramatically, that he would rather deinstall then restart
Saying something when you are frustrated by a problem, self inflicted or not, is a little different than just replying to say 'uninstall and go way', though.
... its a reverse psychology trick to get him to try anyway.
he dropped a spell himself because he wasnt paying attention.
The skillbar is (currently) inconsistent, though. You can drag and drop spells off the skillbar and it merely removes the shortcut, which can be re-added. It wouldn't be unrealistic to expect the same thing for scrolls, and if there are multiple windows open or you are in a cluttered area, it is possible to miss the change in cursor or the actual item being dropped.
In other words he was lazy and wasnt paying attention.
He should be shot.
1) 'At the beginning' - I'm about 20 hours in
2) 'Playing a game that's meant for replays' - no it's not
3) 'he dropped a spell himself' - the UI dropped the spell, I only removed it from my hotbar
4) 'wasn't paying attention' - I don't go around holding the ALT button everywhere I go, that's not 'not paying attention', that's a design flaw in the game
ergo ipso.
5) 'that's what RPGs are for' - some, yes. I just finished my 5th playthrough of Baldur's Gate 2, I've completed 3 playthroughs of Fallout: New Vegas, 2 of Fallout 3, I've completed FF7 5 times, the entire Half-Life series three times, Deus Ex at least 3 times, Skyrim three times, KotOR 1 at least 4 times, KotOR 2 twice, countless playthroughs of Diablo 2, completed FEAR twice, Homeworld twice, Jedi Knight twice, Neverwinter Nights 2 three times, Thief 1 at least twice, Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines twice, and finally I've completed Warzone 2100 three times (I fuckin love that game!).
He should be shot repeatedly.
Then thrown under a bus full of buffalo's in a high speed chase with a circus elephant truck.
Then shot again, Just to be sure.
I won't be playing this game again - there's no reason to. There are no paths to choose from, no decisions that severely affect the game (other than wow you now have +1 to loremaster instead of something else!), no characters that think differently of you (in a meaningful way) or many deep NPCs to choose from to make up your party. The game is clunky, awkward and slow, and has many fiddly aspects like crafting and stealing that are like crack cocaine to OCD players but who wants to go through Cyseal stealing everything that's not nailed down twice? And I'm already playing on hard.
I really like a lot of things about this game, but claiming it's the second coming of CRPGs is a bit much. It isn't exactly Baldur's Gate 2 reborn. It's more like Icewind Dale II with a kooky flavour and a not-so-solid ruleset, wrapped in a clunky UI and an even clunkier battle system.
Furthermore, making elitist judgements about someone you haven't even met, based off a few off-hand comments made in a thread about a bug (yes it's a bug, and/or a design flaw), is pretty ignorant, and makes you come off as self-righteous and basically an asshole. My nerd-cred is solid, kid. You ain't got shit on me.

Quick guise, group massage!
Dirigible, sorry but the only cunt around is you. A little, mewling judgmental cunt, to be sure.
Btw all quest items are tagged as such and cannot be sold, but the game should not hold the hand of players who dont pay attention and dont want to think with their heads.
So dropping such items is not a bug at all. Its a feature.
You need it for several quests.
- Apocalypse, you need that spell to enter Evelyns lair. Unless they changed that in some recent patch.
Your Jake killed Evelyn?
How does that happen?
