Restoring Vvardenfell

Post » Sat Jan 22, 2011 11:23 pm

Okay so from what I've read around here Chim is basically when someone realises they're everything and can change anything at will.
That said, would somebody be able to restore Vvardenfell after it's been destroyed using chim? I believe Talos changed all of Cyrodiil with chim as well.

Yes, it is possible.

The better question is whether it is probable.

Are there any Walk-CHIM around who would do this? None are interest.

I'd say that yes, it could happen, probably. But is it likely to happen, my guess is, no. I can't think of anyone known to have Chim who would have much reason to want to restore a place like Vvardenfell, and in any case, it would seem kind of pointless for Bethesda to go out of their way to destroy Vvardenfell, causing a mixed response from fans, only to have it just get better soon after. No, I'd say Bethesda meant for it to stay that way, at least for now.

Though, realistically speaking (As meaningless as that phrase is in the Elder Scrolls.) I'd say that eventually, if given enough time, Vvardenfell would be restored naturally, maybe not to exactly as it was before, but life would return there, and eventually, maybe people would to, but the proccess would take so long that I doubt we'd ever really see the results, at the very least, not any time soon. For now, I'd say Vvardenfell will stay as a lifeless wasteland no one wants.

Vivec let Vvardenfell be destroyed (I would even go so far as to say that he wanted it to be), and theres no one else with CHIM walking around, so no, I don't think it will happen. Cosmic awareness tends to make you stop caring about such matters (see: Dr. Manhattan).

Kynareth will restore Vvardenfell to a livable condition in time, as she does with many ravaged patches of Earth. Will it be the same as before? Almost certainly not. That's the nature of destruction and rebirth.

It's one of those high concept metaphysical things that's probably never actually going to be explored in depth in an actual game. There are a number of topics dedicated to the topic. Just browse back a few pages in the lore forum and you'll find at least once.

Just like pretty much everything else in Elder Scrolls lore.

But for the sake of keeping the setting interesting, I seriously doubt Bethesda will let Morrowind remain a smoldering wasteland. Unless they make it a really interesting smoldering wasteland. Perhaps it will be explored in the second TES novel?

I doubt that very much. The second TES novel is obviously going to take place immediately following the first, and the main characters sat foot on Vvardenfell during the events of the first book. It was still smoldering wasteland.

Strictly speaking it's always been a smouldering wasteland. Well, Vvardenfell anyway. :P

Thbttt.

Anything is possible for someone with CHIM, but the chances of someone aquiring CHIM, let alone then choosing to use it to restore Vvardenfell to it's former state, are so low as to be Functional Zero. Aside from which, it's much more fun to watch the culture of the Dunmer develop now that they've swapped roles with the hated Orcs.

What about Vivec?

Not that I'm expecting that to happen or anything.

Based on a rumor in Oblivion, he disappeared and is said to have been taken by the Daedra.

Vivec is the one that let it fall, so I doubt he'll come back to clean up the mess.

I know this isn't a CHIM thread but personally I think it was thougth up to give us fans something over which to discuss and debate. I don't ever see the usage of CHIM being implemented in-game any time soon. I mean, with CHIM you can alter physics and thermodynamics. I don't see how they could implement that in-game when they couldn't even get the character to climb over a rock. haha I'm just being a butthead now

I hope not. Theres enough to handle as it is without CHIM being thrown into the fray.

Usage of CHIM will hopefully never be implemented, because 1) its OP in the most basic sense 2) its impossible to fully implement 3) its nearly impossible to obtain and 4) it'd cheapen the whole concept. A reference or two to it and its consequences could theoretically happen, but I don't expect any more than that.

Possible? Sure. Would it happen? No. Why would someone with CHIM dig someone else's old idea back up when they could just introduce their own, new idea to the mix? If it involved Vvardenfell, the land would be renewed rather than restored, I'd think.

Beth have their cheap retconning machine right there. Cyrodiil is too much of a jungle, CHIM, Vvvardefell is dead, CHIM?
No thanks.
It just means that they can do anything they want if it ever gets used anyway. What's the point?

I wouldn't be surprised if Vvardenfell recovers rather quickly. I mean, isn't volcanic ash usually quite fertile? The only reason the Ashlands probably weren't overgrown was because they were continually blasted with new ash, thus destroying everything.

Remember, this HAS happened before. Morrowind rebuilt itself then, it will do it now.

Then again, back then, the Dunmer were strong and numerous. Weakened by four centuries of Imperial occupation, an Argonian nation that has woken up and found frightening strength (though Umbriel may very well be knocking them back down a few pegs), the fall of the Temple, infighting between the Great Houses, it is unlikely they will ever be as strong as they once were. But they'll give it their best shot.

it was a bigger explosion than ever before thistime. Why? because Vvardenfell EXPLODED. the physical volcanoe tore itself down. its like krakata's massiv eruption versus it's ash cloud a few days before.

Don't forget the eruption that resulted in Sun's Death; that eruption blocked out the sun all over Tamriel for a year.
