Well the problem is that the A7 templates haven't come out yet, as A7 is by now still in beta. So we don't know whether it will be possible to do the things you want, with the A7 templates. From my experiences you can create a basic melee game with the A6 templates, weapon dropping isn't included however.
But I don't recommend you trsting on the templates if you want to have more than just a start to game programming. There are other tutorials and first steps on the tutorial sectiopns to go with. You don't need to be skilled with programming, but if you want to stay in game development, you either have to look for a team, or you have to be willing to learn at least some basic stuff about scripting (which gets along with using tutorials or the templates at any case). Because no template can give you exactly what you have in mind.

EDIT: Ok little mistake of me, there is a beta of the A7 templates in the templates forum, haven't recognized it so far.
