You can't grab non-collectible items anymore...

So items that you cannot take cannot be grabbed anymore. This means no more triggering/stopping traps by grabbing them (a favorite of mine when playing stealth characters), no more throwing clutter (like cattle bones, etc) out of the way, and since NPCs are alerted by noises in Skyrim, no tossing these items to create a distraction. This seems like a pointless simplification IMO. They've purportedly added thousands of clutter items to the game, and grabbing is a provided function, so why arbitrarily prevent us from grabbing certain items?

There's enough things to grab lol jeez :S, some people...also traps are triggered by anything so i just carry a skull round with me and throw it lol. Also you can make distractions but its better to use spells rather than objects, unless you drop onjects right above them.

You can still grab items. Press and hold E to pick an item up. Tap E to put it in your inventory.

Yes I know that. My point is that there are several things that you cannot. Unnamed items like random bones, etc cannot be moved.
