Why you can wear just 2 rings, when you have 10 fingers on your hands???!!!

I thought this terrible bug will be addressed in the enhanced edition.

    It wasn't a bug but a developers' decision. Enough said.

    It's in the interest of game balance more than to seek realism. There's lots of rules imposed by the game that are arbitrary in the interest of game design.

    Basically, if you could equip a ring on all ten fingers characters would get too powerful.

    Or how about an extra 20 ring slots, for everyone knows that we can put more than 1 ring on each finger

    I thought that you can actually wear the other 10 on you feet, but that is also good idea.

    But only for non-redguard characters.

    Then it is clear, we need immediately delay the game so the developers can add 100+ rings into the game. Or you can wear those fancy rings without any boosts

    Only for the guys.

    Sir are you implying men have an extra finger?

    All I've got is my ****!

    ROFL.

    panties should be a slot. Pantaloons taking up the armor slot just doesn't make sense.

    Yes! What of undergarments? What of piercings? You could get a ring on every inch of your body, then put amulets on top of those writs, then put lots of robes over you and then armour! They definitely should fix this bug!

    @SirFrancealot Pantaloons aren't the same as panties. Panties are the female version of underpants. Pantaloons are the male version of meydejieeval boxazs.

    This is definitely the strongest way to arm yourself for a fight. Jingling and jangling your way to victory.

    Oh, you don't need jewelry for that! :D

    I think the official WOTC explanations was something along the lines of how the magic item actually transfers it's power to the wearer.

    For example, it wiuld easily be possible to wear a bunch of magical necklaces at the same time. However, you need to nominate the one you are choosing to draw power from at any one time.
  • leyshjonoeleyshjonoe Member Posts: 59
    read that as magical neckties rather than necklaces.

    now i need to see that idea implemented in the game.

    "I nominate red and white stripey! +2 charisma!"

    I hate to be the voice of reason or anything, but magic rings only function on the Ring finger, and the magic from multiple rings on the same finger would be shorted out by the presence of a ring closer to the palm.

    Bilbo wore the One Ring on his right index finger.

    If we had 10 ring slots, rings would be useless, you'll probably find only Rings of Swag +2 and the like. I think it's ok as it is, no need even for a single extra slot.

    The first time I saw the inventory screen, I was amazed of all the options that I had never seen in other RPGs like cloak AND armor and girdle (word that I had to look up at that time xD)

    Yes, I'm going slightly mad (while waiting for the release).

    Could be the piercing damage isn't being done BY it, but rather TO it.
