how to pick up the first key?

[monke]

I've just started the game with chris, and my inventory is full so I can't pick up the first key. There aren't any storage boxes yet, and I can't drop any of the items. What do I do?

Find a storage box and put things into it you don´t immerdiately need and then go back and grab that key.

bro, did you read my post entirely? There are no boxes, it's the beginning of the game.

We don't know what your inventory is.

If you have handgun ammo, use it. If you have herbs, maybe you can combine them. If you have Ink Ribbons, save the game. If you have the Emblem, you can put it back in the Dinning Room fireplace because it's not needed.

Yeah, youll have to find it, since your inventory is full. Its an old game, so it will be like that yeah. So much for survival.

There. Are. No. Boxes.
All the doors leading to boxes are closed. The doors leading to boxes can only be opened with a key that I can't pick up because my inventory is full.
Anyway, the thread is solved.

By the way, having to waste items to free up inventory space is a huge design oversight. It should be possible to drop non-essential items on the floor and then pick them up again. That however, introduces another problem, which is that some items could become non-retrievable if dropped in places that become inaccessible, like places with moving walls or collapsing floor or whatever.

So was this so hard to find out? Gamers these days can´t find anything out on their own I guess. Without handholding you guys are so lost and instead of finding solutions you go to the forum and cry.

So now go and find that box. smh..

Excuses. You have to put some thought into what you pick up. Inventory management is central to the game. If you were allowed to drop items, it would be way too easy. After this, try playing RE0. You can drop items in that game, but there are no item boxes.

It needs to be a very specific situation to end up being forced to do that. Worst scenario possible is playing as Chris, having four items you can't "use": Knife, Handgun, Blue Gem, and the Shotgun Shells from the Graveyard, and then Handgun ammo or Green Herb + Ink Ribbon in the last two slots.

Only in that situation, the player would need to either use the herb/surplus handgun ammo, or to save three times so the Ink Ribbon is gone. And handgun ammo doesn't need to be wasted, there are a few zombies around to shoot.

And all this is just the first 10 minutes of gameplay anyway, even if you have to waste an herb, a few bullets, or a couple of ink ribbons, it's not going to make any difference in the long run, because resources aren't that much of a problem, especially since the hardest difficulty you can choose on a first playthrough is Normal.

Oh, look, it's mr know-it-all perfect gamer, who never got stuck in a video game. Why did you even come here? You couldn't even read my entire post made of 4 sentences before making some non-sense comment.

>So now go and find that box. smh..
Lmao, you STILL don't understand what the whole problem was about and that there are no boxes at this point in the game.

Did you bother to read any guides before playing?

There's also a manual in game in your inventory screen.
