What is CHIM?


CHIM is the actual realization that everything is being dreamed up by a singular Thing, The Godhead. As such you are personally just a tiny facet of the Godhead. This realization normally leads to you blinking out of existence because you cannot hold onto your sense of self while also being everything else. For those individuals who can do so it means you get limited control over the "dream". CHIM does not translate into the ability to arbitrarily shape reality though, you exist as an entity in a story to which you belong, what you change has to fit the the themes and ideas of the story.

it basically means that anything you mod into the game is canon because you are a god who has figured out how to do god things. it's a novel way of doing things i guess. it made sense in morrowind since you actually were a god in that game, less so in oblivion where you were just some dude and Skyrim where you were a reborn hero but not really a god at all.

I'm just going to assume you were in fact bullshitting an intentionally shuffled the heroes and games up.

question: in ESO, when you cast a fear or frenzy spell on another person, what happens?

another question: what happens if everyone acquires enchanted items to get 100% chameleon?

another one: if you knock a valuable weapon out of another player's hands, does the game let you pick it up?

and a final one: is money still completely worthless like in all the single player games?

it is TES in name only so all of these game mechanics don't exist

also, you can't steal/pickpocket and wolves drop armor pieces

it's kind of like that dream where you are naked in class except you are TES in a wow clone

This game just irritates me on every aspect.

The story is bad. Every quest is a dull affair in which you wade through fetch quests and bad writing (In the Argonian part of the Ebonheart Pact, they all say this cringe-worthy catchphrase, "Stay moist!" :wtc:) to do something you don't care about for people you can't even remember the name of.

The lore of The Elder Scrolls is being pissed on. The titular Elder Scrolls are used as Capture the Flag buffs. Argonians are acting friendly to their former slavemasters, and Dark Elves are letting a Nord into their most sacred city despite the fact that Nords have done nothing but raid their homeland since they arrived on the continent. The Aldmeri Dominion exists years before it should. Imperials are worshiping Daedra.

Finally, the price gouging is ridiculous. It's subscription based, 60 dollars, and has a cash shop. You also have to pay launch day prices to play as your favorite race in any covenant you want, and loads of money if you want to play as an Imperial.

In conclusion, gently caress this game. I'm glad no one is excited for it.

when this was announced i was really hoping it would be as big a disaster as SWTOR but the best part of watching that game crash and burn was the thousands and thousands of people who rushed to its/biowares defense in increasingly desperate ways and this time around even most people on zenimaxs forums are saying it sucks so its not nearly as funny

I don't see what the problem is. Finally a Elder Scrolls game where the Mudcrab is something to fear is a good thing.

ESO is going to be poo poo because you they will not visit any of the insane parts of the Elder Scroll's world. It'll just be generic fantasy country and generic icy fantasy country.

They could make it about the interesting parts of the Elder Scrolls world but then it would not be about white people and thus you would lose the entitled white male demographic. It's like the game industry version of creationism that entitled, bigoted, angry hetero white males are absolutely key and your game cannot make money without them; everyone believes it even though it's not true.

Cyrodiil was the most boring TES setting ever, it was like France but without any of the interesting places like the Pyrenees or the Riviera. Skyrim was a step up but I liked it better when it was called New Zealand.

You're reading way too into this, man. All of this can be explained by one simple fact: Bethesda is lazy. Trees and castles are easier than swamps and houses made of insect wings and poetry.
