Notes[edit | edit source]
- can be obtained in two other ways but doing so prevents :
- When Mattis gives the interacting party member the ring and asks for it back; the player character can choose "Thanks for the free ring." and then "I don't have to do anything. Goodbye." After speaking with Mattis again and apologizing, the interacting party member must give the ring back.
- The ring can be pickpocketed from Mattis before the first interaction, and then returned to him.
