Hate to have to post just to ask this, but I've attempted to google the hell out of this and come up with absolutely nothing.

While exploring the stable two minutes into the game, I accidentally managed to pick up Inamo's body, and no matter what I do I can't find a way to drop it anywhere. No matter where I drag it, I get an X and it goes right back into my hands. I can't put it in my pack either. What exactly am I missing here?

I Just played around with Inamo 'stealing' (and no Iolo, I don't think that counts as stealing). I had the same problem in the stable (and the fenced in area outside) but I was able to successfully drop him next to the tree by the stable, on the side next to the road.
