Talk:Rings (Dark Souls)/@comment-209.121.225.163-20141103000713/@comment-3492791-20141103074215

It is done strictly for balance purposes. Rings, aside from being outrageously fashionable, exist almost solely to give the player buffs. Allowing the player to give themselves ten different buffs, not even including other methods, simply would not work. As such seemingly arbitrary limits are placed to maintain balance and promote diversity.

People always bring up the, "I have ten fingers so why no ten rings?" argument, but you can wear more than one ring on a single finger too. I mean you could even wear a larger suit of armor over your regular armor if you wanted, or at the least wear cloth "armor" underneath it. If we're going to be complaining about petty things like this, we could go way pettier.
