You can get rid of the elder scroll after you are done with it by giving it to someone

And what about the

sphere and box that Septimus Signus gave you for his quest? I finished it and can't drop them... -.-

No idea but I'm pretty sure all quest items have a way to get rid of them

Not if you find them before a quest (which is a big issue with me too) the Elder Scroll is the only one I know that you can sell. If you know other methods, please tell me!

I was surprised that I was carrying around 50 pounds of soul gems one time. Potions too can add up. Each gem and potion weighs 1/2 pound. That these weights need to be changed is a discussion for another thread, but, the fact is, these things do add up quickly.

This is the truth. I tend to let these build up in my inventory too, if I'm not careful. My Nord often has 60 pounds of cheese and mead on him. Mmm, cheese and mead...

The items do weigh you down but only as long as they aren't needed in a quest but like people have said before, it doesn't weigh anything while it is needed in an active quest.

They do weigh nothing- that is fact, you can "test" all you want.

You must be packratting something else that is bumping up your weight. If i had to guess i would say potion weight is usually the villan here.

Not always the case. Unusual gems weigh .5 each, and you have to collect 24 of them. The tablet from the first dungeon weighs 25. There are a couple of instruments that weigh 2 - 4. There are plenty more cases.

Once the quest is started for the gems, then they weigh nothing. Only if you collect them before the quest, do they have weight. There are about 4 of these that you want to get the first time you see them, the rest can wait until the quest is active. This is handled in the game as the name of the item changes during the quest. I would imagine it is the same for the instruments. However the Bards College was one of the first places I did quests for and those instruments do not have weight during the quest.
