User blog comment:Madman97/The CHIM Theory: Why I don't think it exists/@comment-3315619-20131127053921/@comment-11345660-20131128234822

'''The heart of the game, all that stuff you said. (Didn't feel like writing it all down. Too lazy)'''

Well, when you put it like that, it's not very funny at all. What a killjoy! What's now even more humorous to me is that even when it's the most serious of subjects, I find I still laugh at it. Center of the Aldmeri-Human Schism, the center of Lore. Hahahaha. Not sure if I am right in laughing or not, but oh what the heck, I'll laugh anyway. True, it would seem illogical to be a joke, even if I see it could be. But then again, I am a madman. Perhaps I see things others don't. Makes sense to me, or doesn't it? Hmm.

But like you said, the ambiguity, the mystery of it all, is in game. Again, I never said CHIM could not, cannot be real. I just need more evidence than organized speculation. I enjoy a good mystery. It's just for me CHIM robs itself of that mystery. Once you get a good grasp of it, what it does, that's it. It's like the rest of Skyrim. It eventually just gets boring.

As you went on about how Lorkhan could have understood CHIM, but not use it, I find I like this idea. Yes, even CHIM has limitations! That's a good start. If I were to believe CHIM, perhaps it required utmost power first to be used. Lorkhan needed his fellow Aedra's power to create Nirn. Perhaps in this way, he theoretically used CHIM to create Nirn. Talos used it to change create a new kind of Cyrodil. Why couldn't have Lorkhan used it to create a new world. Excitement abound. Now a Limited CHIM theory I could side with. I had always wondered why Vivec didn't just eliminate Dagoth Ur with a blink of an eye if he had attained CHIM, but like you said, maybe there is a catch. Maybe only certain individuals can actually use. Like the Player, if your into the player can use CHIM theory to like save his game or some S***. Maybe, using this logic, we can deduce that we may play as Talos or Tiber Septim in a future game. It could happen. Oh the fun we could have.

Also, give me a basic rundown of what Amanarth or whatever is. Of what we know. I am afraid I must disregard any and all things that claim to be all-powerful without even knowing what it is. I don't make the rules, I just work here.

Also, don't get your knickers in a twist, (Apology to anyone who owns kickers), when I use something from in game but includes these things. [...]. To be honest, it's not really a big deal and not really worth mentioning. Sure, the principle is give credit to someone else's work if you used it, but...these are dash lines. Not really Pulitzer Prize worthy, mind you. But thank you for at least revising the article. And that second sentence. Fine, thank you.

But bottom line, if I am to believe in this, I need something other than a developers word and quite exstensive research on your part, thank you for that, but I need rock solid proof. They hint at it in the game, but they don't come forward ans say, "Yes, CHIM is the answer." Perhaps Bethesda was being smart after all, keeping it a mystery to be solved. But to me, believing in this theory would leave a hole inside where my sense of exploration and diligent research was. Sure, you can get hours and hours of enjoyment from this, but when you crack it finally, I just see no more interesting things having to do with it. I know you won't agree with me, but -(Dismisses CHIM into Developer Joke Folder until further proof is given)

It may make a lot of sense, My Dear Mr or Mrs. Edits, but in order to be sure, let me see something worth seeing. An example of CHIM, anything. Perhaps I'll make a rebuttal to this blog on why I think CHIM exists, who knows. I could go any direction at this point, but for now I'll keep to the Not-sure circle. I respect your views, respect your research, and I'll let you keep at it. I would love to see a blog from you Minor Edits.
