  • For all the dragons the Dragonborn kills, they couldn’t think to defer judgement to the fuckin peep with a soul of a dragon about another dragon who is willing to help them.

  • The blades didn’t serve their purpose since the Merethic Era, since that’s when they managed to sent Alduin to the future and killed the remaining tyrant dragons. More time for Tamriel has passed than since Jesus died for us. If the pope said being gay is not a sin, I guess the Blades deciding that a dragon, that is harmless, needs to be killed, I call bullshit

  • The problem is you cannot say no. There is no ending to the quest if you refuse to kill the dragon. And that is silly, your character should have the option to reject the Blades and do their own thing. Maybe even fight Delphine head-on to get the Blades to leave the dragons alone.

  • “You must kill Paarthurnax! He was once Alduin’s trusted ally and while he maybe helping you now, he has to die for his past sins!”

    “What about Odahviing? A dragon who was once Alduin’s trusted ally and is helping us now?”

    “Oh no, he’s good!”

  • I will never be able to 100% Skyrim because I’ll never be able to do the Blades questline. I refuse to kill Partysnax. I know there are mods that let you tell them to fuck off about killing him and you can do the questline anyway, but it’s a matter of principle for me.

  • There’s a mod called something like “The Paarthurnax Dilemma” which gives the DB the opportunity to basically tell Delphine “I could fucking destroy you in seconds if I wanted to. If I said i’m not killing the dragon – I’m not killing the fucking dragon. So you either let go or die.”

    This is how it should have been from the beginning.

  • Every factions suggests what to do. They don’t get uppity. Maybe it’s sweettalk, but the TG is polite, flat at worst. The Companions rightly treat you as a newbie when you are, but quickly warm up to you and are always respectful, as are the mages. Delphine fully knows who you are and is still a bitch.

    Tbf, Astrid is more or less the same. And she dies for it.

  • The thing I hate about this isn’t that Delphine wants me to kill Partysnax and it isn’t that I can’t tell her no. It’s that the characters I recruited to the blades and potentially had been travelling with for a long time (Sven for example was my companion for hours upon hours before I made him a blade) suddenly trust, respect and follow her more than me.

  • It just boggles the mind how much disrespect **ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL DEMIGODS** gets from Delphine.

    The only one who legit showed proper respect to the Last Dragonborn was Jarl Balgruuf the Greater.

  • Every faction is telling you as a mere member what to do. The Blades however are literally sworn to follow and protect the Dragonborn. They have literally been hiding waiting for the potential re-emergence of a Dragonborn and when you come along they swear themselves to you. You help them find an old, lost base of operations still full of supplies and protect them from the Thalmor who have virtually annihilated them previously. It all builds up until Delphine sends you to kill Paarthurnax. Now at this point Paarthurnax has proven himself a far more valuable ally than the Blades and his presence at the Throat of the World for such an incredibly long time shows that dragons are not necessarily an inherent threat, hell many other dragons simply perch on word walls until they themselves are threatened.

    A proper RPG would have numerous ways to complete this simple quest. You could for example:

    Kill him.

    Kill Delphine.

    Remind Delphine that you’re the Dragon born and you’re in charge.

    Tell them to fuck themselves and have the Blades lose the one and only person they’re sworn to protect because of their own hubris.
    Prove Paarthurnax can be trusted.

    Simply lie. The Blades consist of two individuals, one of whom is nearly senile.

    Politely, preferably with a knife to the throat, explain to Delphine that as you literally have the would of a dragon that you are prone being ambitious and power hungry like the dragons and due to your mortal form would actually be a bigger threat due to your ability to infiltrate society on various levels.

    Tldr: The Dragonborn is by birthright the literally leader of the Blades and outranks Delphine. She literally can not give him orders.

  • This logoc is absurd.

    By this reasoning, they should’ve killed Paarthurnax the moment they first found him, meaning the Dragonborn could never have learned Dragonrend, and Alduin could never be defeated.

    Shit, by this logic, Odaviing should’ve been killed the moment they had him trapped, meaning the Dragonborn could never get to Sovngarde.

    “We’re Dragonslayers.”

    Ok? Why? Just for the cause of exterminating dragons? Or to protect people? What’s your *actual* oath, because apparently it flip-flops when it’s convenient.

  • >The Blades serve the Dragonborn

    >I won’t serve you unless you do what I say

    Delphine and Esbern only saw a Dragon like a week ago, they ain’t dragon slayers for shit

  • Listen I don’t think any of us are too mad that she sticks to her guns and insists that you kill paarthurnax. We are mad however that we can’t kill her to get the quest finished and out of our log.

  • The reason I absolutely loathe her is that the only reason she wants Parthanax dead is that he is stronger than her, not to mention her desire for Parthanax’s death is morally wrong. People can change, and the only reason Parthanax was once evil was because that’s just how he was raised. If cows were as civilised as us humans, they would be absolutely terrified of us and would hate our very existence. Yet for the vast majority of humans, the slaughtering of cows for food isn’t evil. Parthanax realised that going around slaughtering humans and tormenting them just isn’t right. And then rather than just stopping, he went beyond that and actively aided us in getting rid of Alduin and his tyranny. He didn’t need to, he wanted to.

    Not to mention that a Blade shouldn’t be ordering around a Dragonborn in the first place. The Dragonborn is the Blades, the rest are there to assist him, Delphine even says they exist to serve the Dragonborn. The Blades kill dragons, the Dragonborn is the only one who can kill dragons, the Blades does not exist without you. The other members do not boss you around, you boss them around. The Dragonborn is the leader of the Blades. It’s like a manager telling the CEO to go make them coffee. She doesn’t decide who dies or not, you do. And then she has the audacity to say you aren’t welcome in Skyhaven Temple if you don’t kill him. It is your property, not hers. You are literally the key to open it.

    And to top it off, you can’t even execute the traitor who wants to usurp your rightful place as leader of the Blades.
