Can I throw objects at people? Can I throw people at objects? Can I grab and throw things that are not in my inventory? I, strong.

[Discussion]

Alright, I'm a bit stumped here. I was playing Bright Nights with a Strength based character and I was playing as usual, until I remembered the "Grab" button. Being the mechanical idiot I was I wanted to grab a pot and smash it on the nearest zombie's head for fun! But then I just... couldn't. This undead miscreant's head should have, respectably, been a fine paste on the side of the wall, but I couldn't find myself throwing it. Even when I lugged the pot around and turned it around me to hit the zombie "the pot collided with something" well yeah that's the point! The point is colliding with something really hard! The zombie's head!

It didn't do anything and I almost got caught with my pants down. I tried to grab him in a futile effort as I was reminded of the fact that I could not. Am I missing something? A function? Because I tried pressing T or t or whatever associated with "Throw". If it isn't, I got a question: Why isn't this in the game? Having the option to grab anything and choose to rip it off of something, like a section of a wall, then throw it at something else if you actually have the strength for it seems pretty damn cool and immersive.

I want to Hulk Smash a rude NPC! To lift it something off it's feet and smash it into a wall! I want to hold something and fling it at somewhere! It would be so useful and fun for me. Cool summoning spell, I cast "Hurl Giant Boulder Right Next To Me" let's see how you deal with that. Is this already in the game and I'm just too big of a newbie to notice? I don't occasionally play Cataclysm. Having the ability to interact with things like this outside of stuff in my inventory would feel nice.
