What specifically do you want to know?

This guy has anolysed stuff we already know, but it's good that this kind of stuff is getting out of our forums.

And also, he supports the CHIM is the Construction Set theory. I like him :biggrin:

It's a good read through and through.

Well, essentially if the entire Construction Set = CHIM and Player = Tiber Septim (And Tiber Septim conquered the world by loading/saving) thing is true. A friend of mine presented this to me, and I personally do not like it. It cheapens the already awesome lore of TES by saying "Oh, it is all just a dude saving/loading everything".

But I know you guys are the professionals here, and will trust your opinion on the matter. ;)

TES Lore is all half-truths and fanwank. Talos's conquest of Tamriel could very well be him saving and loading through CHIM, but it may not be. For what it's worth, Tiber didn't CHIM until after he conquered all of Tamriel...of course, he could probably CHIM himself into knowing CHIM earlier in his life.

Many people agree that CHIM being the construction set and player cheapens things, but I like it. The series has the guts to make the 4th wall an actual part of their world.

I'd like to hear the other monkeys on this matter but I'm the only one awake right now.

My final note on the article is that it's good to finally see some anolysis written in a nonobtuse manner.
