Basic Inventory and Looting System

The analogy that I was trying to work towards was a system more akin to Worlds of Warcraft, where the player is looting objects such as chests or dead opponents rather than picking up objects from the ground, and discarding objects would simply destroy the item rather than “drop” the item back into the game as a newly instantiated GameObject.
From my search, three threads stood out:
