Can't pick up Paintings or Notes as my inventory is full?

[Valkyria]

I don't understand this at all. It says my storage and inventory are full when picking up a painting. Yet, it is a special item and you can only hold one of them and they can't be stored.

Anyone else having this issue? The only, "fix" I've found is going and doing base game painting quests. It is almost like they have a cap on paintings/notes and that you could never hit this cap with just the base game. And they never adjusted it for the DLC adding more etc.

(You also can't drop or sell notes, so not sure if there's any other way to get rid of them.)

You've got a chest at a site of grace where you can offload items. Try that?

[Valkyria]

Like I said you can't offload notes or paintings they aren't items you can get rid of.

[SuperJedi]

So offloading other items doesn't make space for special items?

[Valkyria]

Nope I've tried dropping weapons, armor, crafting items. Etc.

[Valkyria]

Each item says how many of it you can hold next to it. Notes/Paintings are one item.

So it makes no sense that looting a brand new item, that is one of a kind should be full.

just to be clear, have you tried permanently getting rid of some of your items, as in selling/discarding them? There may be an absolute maximum amount of items you can have combined in invetory and storage, regardless of type.

[Valkyria]

Yes I've already done all of this.

damn so then there must definitely be a maximum for subtypes of items... Well at least paintings technically share their category with the random notes you buy from merchants and with tutorial tips so you could try also permanently discarding those just to make sure

You can't discard notes.

oh yeah sorry I saw the option and always assumed you could but never tried it, damn that is definitely ♥♥♥♥♥ then, I don't know how that can happen, I thought I had everything you could possibly have

[Valkyria]

Well, I finally figured out a fix...

I started discarding random spells and when I got rid of comet it let me pick up the painting.
What a mess. There must be some kinda bug that these items are counting as something.

This is a huge oversight if there is a max inventory limit and it includes the non-discardable section... Blows my mind there isn't a bug report form anywhere. I love FS, but they really do give 0 f's about the community.

Smithing Stones + 4 and Comet Spell are both items that when I get rid of all of them in my inventory allow me to loot the painting in Shadow Keep. No other smithing stones or spells when dropped the same way allowed this. What a strange discovery.

When you say 'got rid of', do you mean sent to storage or deleted?

[Valkyria]

What's possible is that there's a cap on note items and somehow certain items have been categorized wrong and are triggering a full inventory prompt as a result.
