The One Ring, is it usable?

I've been wondering about this ever since this game came out. Can you actually wear The Ring, you know the one to rule them all? If not, does it at least play a part of the story?

    Since the game follows the books and in no instance was the Ring out of Frodo's control (excepting the Pass of Cirith Ungol) I highly doubt it will be an equippable object.

     

    As for whether or not it plays a part in the story? You encounter the Fellowship throughout the game, but as to what part you'll have to play in their journey is yet to be known. For know it seems you are filling in the gaps of what happened through the rest of Middle-Earth while the Ring made it's way towards Mordor. Which I don't mind in the least.

    Since its the ONE ring, I highly doubt you'd see a bunch of guildies in the tavern sporting a ring on their fingers. You don't actually take part in the real fellowship and their fight against Sauron, you are a citizen of Middle Earth, having your adventures while kind of skirting the main story now and then.

    I just got a flash-back to when I was a kid, seeing all the die-cast metal knock-offs of the Voltron robots (car and lion) or Transformers, etc.

    You'll see all these merchants lining the streets selling "The One Ring". The die-job on it will be off, any paint will be sloppily applied, and on the inside, instead of the writings from the real one, it'll say "Made In Taiwan". But hey.. It only cost 50 copper!

     Little kids will fight over whose is more real.

    Even if we could get ahold of the one ring, I doubt any one would wear it. From the books, it  didn't seem like it had very good stats for raiding  . . .

    I don't want to write this, and you don't want to read it. But now it's too late for both of us.

    lol.. yeah...

    Player 1: "So we had Smaug down to about 2% of his HP... and I mean he was about to drop"

    Player 2: "So you killed him?"

    Player 1: (agitated) "No... We wiped"

    Player 3: "What?! Why?"

    Player 1: "Stupid Frodo..."

    Player 2: "... did he pull a Leroy Jenkins on you all?"

    Player 1: "No... He reached into his pocket, pulled out this ring... stared at it all stupid-like for a few moments, made some annoying wheezing sound, then passed out"

    Player 2: "WTF"

    Player 1: "And... he was the main healer"

    Player 3: "Nub"

    Player 2: "Yeah really"

    Player 1: "And when he started coming to, he was calling out, "Gandalf!" "Gandalf!"



    Player 2: "Pfft... Drama queen"

    Player 3: "What is it with those two anyway? Isn't Gandalf, like... 200 years older than him?"

    Player 1: "I dunno... It is kinda creepy"

    Player 2: "No joke..."

    Player 3: "Where was Samwise during all this?"

    Player 1: "Off in the corner crying, as usual..."

    Player 2: "Wuss..."

    Player 1: "What the hell?! Where is our rogue?? We need a FM"

    Player2: "He put on that damn ring and went invisable!"

    *team wipe*

    Leader: /kicks Frodo.

    I'm pretty sure he was referencing the Jack Black parody.

    lmao! I hadn't seen that!

    Good stuff. Love those parodies.

    About the only entertaining (sometimes) parts of the MTV awards, to me.
