I just started the game so forgive me this question.

I assume there are no tradesmen in the dungeons but what about chests or something like that? Or is it a good idea to discard everything I don't need immediately? I ask because normally I use to collect everything in a rpg.

There are no shops. No chests, just secret rooms.
It might not always be a good idea to discard things that don't seem important yet.
Treasures (Things you pick up that tell you they're a treasure) are fun to collect, but I don't know if you need them on you by the end of the game to count as having found them.

In Master Quest everything has a loot value, so you can try to keep higher value stuff that doesn't weigh too much But it's not for a shop or anything, just rankings and bragging rights

...as I presumed. Thanks.

You do find various bags and crates that act as containers to expand your inventory space, and the heavier ones are sometimes better used as on-the-floor storage.

It's a good habit to create a cache of things you don't need right now but that might come in useful later (food, ammo, odd/unique items) near a set of stairs or other easily-revisited location. You can use this as a sort of base camp and move it from level to level as you clear areas out.

Sounds like a really good idea. I will give it a try!

I must confess: since Morrowind I like to collect thinks, not only for trading but just for showcase. Leaving all these Legionary Shields on the ground make my heart bleeding.

I remember that feeling very very well. haha
