10 Deceptive Video Game Loot You Instantly Regretted Picking Up

10. Hircine's Ring - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Skyrim players' biggest problem with loot is how much of it they can fit into their inventory before they have to relegate some of their dragon bones to Lydia.

However, in the case of Hircine's Cursed Ring, your hoarding habits can actually have more tangible consequences.

The ring is obtained in the mission "Ill Met By The Moonlight," in which an imprisoned werewolf asks you to take it off him to help him remove the curse the Deadric Prince Hircine has cast on it.

Now, since most Deadric Artifacts interpret "cursed" as "more powerful," you might choose to agree to the werewolf's offer (either that or you just quickly clicked through the dialogue), in which case you will quickly discover why the werewolf was so eager to get rid of it.

Not only does the ring force you to transform into a werewolf at random, but you can't take it off once you equip it!

This means that until you finish Hircine's quests to remove the curse, you're constantly at risk of turning into a wolf, turning all NPCs hostile, and potentially ruining some quest objectives in the process.

Huh, who knew trusting a random werewolf convict could end so badly?
