Kingdom of Amalur: Inventory Bug

A lot of folks are finding items in their inventory (often an armor set but occasionally individual or quest items) that are stuck.  They can't be removed, junked, destroyed, put in stash, etc.  Essentially they lock up those inventory slots.  I've found this that says the developers are planning a patch to fix quest problems and bugs like this but there's no date on when it will appear other than "the next couple of weeks."

Kingdom of Amalur: How Many Factions?

Apparently there are six, listed here, with background lore.  Follow the links for full information.

You may only see five factions listed in places such as this guide.  That is because House of Valor is a download available free to purchasers of the new game only.

Purchasers of used versions of the game may purchase the download.

Kingdom of Amalur: Finding Crudok

They aren't easy to find, particularly when the inarticulate are pointing the way.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/991143-kingdoms-of-amalur-reckoning/61943371

Please note that the Crudok near the Widow's Castle (also known as Castle Yovan) respawns.  The Solo MMO player killed it there earlier before he was hunting Crudok and killed it there twice more after he was hunting them.  After the spawn point between the main castle and battlement wall, run along the battlement wall.  It will pop up from underground if you trigger it by running over the right spot.

Coming out of the Hollowlands at the point of entrance to Menetrye, a Crudock and two spiders will spawn per the Solo MMO Player (Aggressive Brownies is the prior quest given by the same guy.)

The Solo MMO Player found another Crudock which you have to kill during the quest The Brownie Den which is the second par of a two part quest line you get from Sihtric Vorn.

The Clock for Kingdom of Amalur

How can you tell how much time has passed in the game?  There is an in-game clock visible when you open your inventory, under the health/fate/mana bars but above your gold count.  It shows days and the hour and whether it is a.m. or p.m.
http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/50449/does-it-matter-how-many-days-have-passed

Can you change the clock?  Doesn't look like it but we're still experimenting.

Kingdom of Amalur Inventory System, Carry Weight, Storage Boxes, Houses

There's a bit of information on how things stack in your inventory in the link below.  Note some vendors sell backpacks that allow you to carry more items. Apparently you can find them in most of the cities early in the game (but there is an article with a list of backpack vendors). I've previously posted about quests that give you a house for storage as a quest reward.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/991144-kingdoms-of-amalur-reckoning/61898808

It is possible that once you have a house as the result of a quest and buy upgrades to the house, some increased inventory space is part of the upgrade to the house.  I have no idea how/if this works, though.  Here is a bit about the A Tangled Web side mission that unlocks a residence in Canneroc called Gossamar End, which is in Webwood somewhere. read both links.  See the article here called How To Buy A House for more detailed information.  Basically, you either get the key off the body of Barten or get it from him when you return to the town with him.  Then buy the upgrades from the blacksmith Billus Aldeth (spelling?).
http://www.ign.com/wikis/kingdoms-of-amalur-reckoning/A_Tangled_Web

http://www.ign.com/wikis/kingdoms-of-amalur-reckoning/Gossamer_End

To put things in your new chest (there just seems to be one and the spider that is supposed to be in the house doesn't seem to be there, just webs), use the letter R to select items, then left click with the mouse button to put things in your chest one by one.  There is a limit to the number of items that will fit.  If you are wearing something, you have to remove it before putting it in the chest.  Things are not organized when in the storage chest apparently.  They don't seem to be organized alphabetically or by type anyway.

UPDATE:  Backpacks can be purchased several places to increase your carry capacity.  Here is a partial list.  Note the explanation of how they work.

Can You Buy a House in Amalur?

Can you have a house in Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning? The answer seems to be you can get them as quest rewards.  Details here.

More coherent answer, but with spoilers.
http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/xbox_360_games/e_k/kingdoms_of_amalur_reckoning/f/2404/p/202454/1053037.aspx

Here are four more houses, some as quest rewards and others apparently you just show up.

Redeeming the Kingdom of Amalur DLC

To redeem your DLC codes for in-game content, go to the xBox Live Marketplace or PS3 Network if you are playing a console version of the game.  If you are playing the PC version, check for a URL listed with your code.  Goto that site to redeem the code.  Once it is redeemed for the PC, it may appear in either your Origins Game Library or be accessed within the game itself, depending on the game.  For Kingdom of Amalur, the DLC is accessed within the game.  You go to the site and enter the codes and nothing happens, but when you go into the game the Downloadable Content (DLC) items are in the special treasure chest.
http://help.ea.com/article/origin-code-redemption-faq

It may be obvious to you, but it wasn't to me.  By the way, here is what is in the DLC.
