9 Video Game Rewards You Shouldn't Accept
8. Ring Of Betrothal - Bloodborne
The FromSoftware games have been notorious since the first Dark Souls to be cheeky when it comes to items and accessories. Remember the first Dark Souls with its useless starting ring? And even when they DO give you something useful, because of the brutal difficulty of these games, it can be hard to actually tangibly see the benefit.
The Ring of Betrothal in Bloodborne has neither of these problems. It is instead an item you get, whose sole purpose is to make you feel bad.
You get the Ring of Betrothal in a chest, deep into one of the hardest areas of the entire game. It has seemingly no benefit to your character at all, but if you're a veteran of these games, you know that no item is truly random. Then your eyes fixate on the word "Betrothal".
There aren't that many partners to romance in this game, so eventually you'll find your way to Cainhurst Castle and Queen Annalise. Offer the ring to her and... nothing. At least, nothing good. She turns down your advances and lowkey insults you for the effort.
The only purpose of this ring is to get laughed at, so unless you're into that, I say steer clear.
