New playthrough. All proceeded well through the first 16 levels, but when I tried to create a potion most recently, giant's toes have suddenly stopped being detected by alchemy labs. By any lab I try using, whether at the College of Winterhold, Dragonreach, or anywhere else. The toes show normally in my inventory, just not when I try to use them.

I've tried quitting, reloading, reloading earlier saves to no effect. And the problem doesn't show up when I reload earlier games.

It's a real head scratcher. I'm thinking I should just delete my saves and start a new game before proceeding further. Your thoughts?

Hmm... sounds like the toes are tagged as quest items. Are you doing a quest that requires you to collect Giant's toes?

Bingo. I think you've got it. And I think it didn't occur to me because I was able to put the toes in my Apothecary's Satchel. But when I tried to drop them--the quest tag was revealed. Now that I recall, I did pick up a giant's toe off the floor in the Temple of Dibella after drinking with Sam Guevenne...

Thanks very much!
