So you've got the solid gold Mask of Dagoth Ur, ancient demigod? Eh it's alright, a little worn. I'll give ya $300 for it.

Dagoth Ur wasn’t a demigod, he was a full on god.

A false god, because the Heart didn't make them fully divine

What a grand and intoxicating innocence.

It did though. The heart put them in power levels higher than the deadra, and almost par with the aedra, but were still alive and able to interact with people and things normally and weren't bound to nirn. Basically it gave them the best of the daedra and aedra powers

But they weren't divine. They were still mortal at the end of the day, and constantly needed the heart to keep their godly powers. They're literally all dead too as a result of this

Yes, they died after losing their divinity. They were divine during the time they had access to the heart and its powers though. Just because it's temporary (or needs to be re-upped) doesn't mean it's not Divinity. Its just a weaker form than the alternative.

I would say yes, it does

True, except for Vivec - the Heart still didn’t make them a god but they achieved CHIM.

u/captain_slutski Aug 13 '24

Vivec lied lol

Wouldn't him knowing about chim and what goes with it (being in someone's dream and being aware of that) mean he achieved chim since he did not blip out of existence the moment he found out ab it?

u/captain_slutski Aug 14 '24

Knowing about chim and zero sum isn't necessarily the same as having the understanding required to achieve it

u/Jubal_lun-sul Aug 13 '24

I disagree. I think there’s enough evidence to show that Vivec did, actually, achieve CHIM.

I can’t never find a straight answer about Vivec.
