User blog comment:Madman97/The CHIM Theory: Why I don't think it exists/@comment-3315619-20131127053921/@comment-11345660-20131128185517

Hang on now, my Dear Mr. Edits. Or Mrs. I don't know. Maybe both. But anyway, my only reasoning is not that I don't like it. Good heavens no. It's like you skipped the rest of the blog and went right to the end! There is also Easter Egg theory and Unlikely theory. Me not liking it is just icing on the cake. The first theory of mine within this blog states that it is more likely to be more of a joke, a hint that a character may know he is the product of some imaginary plane-i.e. A video game, or a dream, or whatever you want to call it. Knowing your in a video game/dream-but-most-will-go-straight-to-video-game is bound to create some humor within the atmosphere. It certainly did for me before I found out people actually took it seriously.

And then there is unlikeability. Kirkbride apparently wanted us to delve deeper into the lore with this when this was first introduced, and I appeciate the effort. But like I said in the blog above, its creativity robs of its creativity. If CHIM really is the answer to it all, then that leaves no more mystery's, or at least a few mysteries, to be solved. Most big questions are apparently solved when CHIM is put into the equation, such as Talos doing godly stuff, Lorkhan understanding it and...Not using it? Sounds like BS to me. If one understood it, one such as me, I would definitly be using it. Why wouldn't you? It's actually kind of illogical. The only real demonstration of the stuff you can do with it was Talos (It was Talos right?) turning Cyroil into a nice place rather than a jungle. Great. Fantastic display of power. Why doesn't everyone else who knows about it actually use it? And I am not talking about the players of the game the CHIM theory theorizes can use it to, like pausing their games or reloading and such. I mean real power.

Bottom line, if this really is the answer to all, or a base to the answer of it all, the Godhead, which I think is utter BS too, (I'll make a blog about that later), then there really is nothing more to the Elder Scrolls. Are we supposed to drop everything for this theory. I'll agree with Kirkbride on one thing. He wants us to think about the lore. If we wanted to think, then we wouldn't invest so much time into this one theory. We should open our eyes a little more, look at all theories. When you have eliminated the impossible, the one theory remaining, no matter how unlikely, must be the truth. -Sherlock Holmes, (Bless that Man). What I am saying is, Bethesda will keep throwing new stuff at us, stuff that even CHIM won't be able to explain, and we will be foreced to look to new theories, if Kirkbride really does want us to think. If he knew anything about an ongoing fantasy game series, he wouldn't spoil the grand mystery so early into the franchise, (Seriously, they could milk these games  for a long time.) Heck, even if it is really insightful, it still doesn't explain things like the Elder Scrolls. What are the mystery behind them? We should look into that. CHIM is illogical. In a game where there is monsters and magic, that is saying something.

Also, please, tell me the exact sentence where you claim to have written, because the only thing I really dragged out of was the Mythic Dawn Commentary #3. Also, I would like your sources to say that Lorkhan didn't use CHIM. Please.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
