That dude was a Hobbit though, they almost seem less susceptible to the Ring's influence. The One Ring would probably fuck me up in record time. I know I have an addictive personality.

Corrupted by the One Ring or corrupted by Frostmourne?

I mean you say that as if his "other" life was exciting lol.
The sword traps the souls of its victims?
Couldn't you just wear a glove and carry the sword? How can it suck your soul if you don't touch it? Then you get a sword that shatters every other weapon but none of the other drawbacks.
If the sword counts a material between itself and the user's body as 'contact', then just putting it on the ground would count as 'contact' between everyone on the planet and everyone would have their soul sucked in that case, unless there's some arbitrary distance of material, which you just get a thicker glove.

A glove ain't doing shit. Arthas wore gauntlets, and they didn't help him lol.
Yeah. I'd recommend not getting killed by him.

Aren't Sauron's powers almost entirely part and parcel to Sauron himself, and not contingent on the Ring? I mean, it's not like Gollum or Frodo turned into huge world-shaking badasses. They just sort of turned into insufferable pricks with a jewelry fetish.
Huh, I thought they ripped off Soul Edge.
Not quite. The ring's power depends on the race that wields it. If Galladriel had it she'd have been more powerful than Sauron.
I mean, sort of, but it's more of a star wars rip-off imo.

So, basically the advantage of hobbits is that they're so pathetic that even with the Ring they just amp up their patheticness to SAD MAXIMUM?
I guess that makes sense for why you use them as Ring Couriers, then.

It's not like Frostmourne alone does that. The Frostmourne alone turns you into a slave of the lich king (and steals your soul). You actually have to wear the crown to become the lich king.

If I remember reading the books correctly, Arthas has a pretty shitty afterlife. So I'm not too sure, but leaning toward Frostmourne. Frostmourne puts me in Azeroth.
Yeah. Got sent to super hell where Sylvanas will also go when she dies permanently

That super-hell thing is so damn unfair.
Willingly turned into an undead? SUPERHELL! - Okay, fair
Got turned into an undead against your will? SUPERHELL - the fuck?

I agree Sylvanas was forced to turn Undead thus she should not receive the same punishment.
There was no implication it was connected to race. Frodo was the only hobbit to have (unconsciously at that) actually used the ring's power at some point, and Galadriel pretty much told him that with the right training he could use it fully to dominate others etc. Though most of that is hinged on desire for power, which Hobbits didn't have in the same way other races did, at least those we meet in the books.Steel said:

You didn't say I couldn't take both, and I'm pawning both of them for a sweet guitar.
Funny.
