I will admit, I killed Paarthurnax on my first playthrough. Hell, I never really wanted to, but I just felt that seeing what the Blades had to offer was a bit more important, and it got that log out of my quest journal. Three words: not worth it. So after I had done the job and talked to the Blades, I used the resurrect command, and voila! The Greybeards still get mad at me, but at least my conscience is somewhat clear on that part. I'm a little more sad that I killed J'zargo in order to get the Ebony Mail, and his body disintegrated afterwards. I knew I should have kept Lydia alive...

I didn't kill him because I never got that quest. If you complete the Skyrim Civil War arc before trying to capture Ohdahving, you don't get the diplomatic immunity mission, and complete bypass that part. As long as you don't go back to those

Heck to the NO! Paarthurnax is the single greatest character in Skyrim.

THANK YOU!!! We have a Badass on the loose...

Hmm, never even thought about that. I have pretty much zero inclination to ever go back to Sky Haven Temple because there's just nothing there after the main quest anyway.

I never knew that either. I would see that Sky Haven Temple burns to the ground. Theyre not Blades!

Well, considering that paarthurnax could give the locations of other dragons to the blades they just f*****d themselves.

That is so true

See? They're not Blades! They're a disgrace.

There's a mod that I play with called "The Paarthurnax Dilemma." It pretty much gives you the option to go back to Delphine after not killing Paarthurnax and convincing them that it's not necessary to kill him. Orrrrr... if you do decide to kill him he's gonna have backup.

Disappointed with how ruthless and unforgiving the Blades were at the end of the main quest? Felt like you should have been able to put your foot down and make them see reason? Well now you can!

This mod is a simple, yet badly needed modification to the post-MQ quest the Blades give you to kill Paarthurnax.

Approach the quest as usual. Listen to the Greybeards and Paarthurnax.

Should you decide to spare his life, return to Delphine or Esbern and explain it to them. You may have to be a bit forceful in the process. They may not like what you're telling them, but they're supposed to be there to serve the Dragonborn, right?

Should you choose to go through with slaying him, he will not be alone. Paarthurnax told you he was going to try and teach others the Way of the Voice, and he'll have his first group of students listening intently. Or, well, whatever dragons do when they're perched on rocks looking at each other.

Are you a ruthless savage like your Blade companions, or will you show compassion and forgiveness the Blades don't appear to be capable of anymore? Make your choice, Dragonborn!

I already know of that mod. I dont have a PC so I cant download it. I deleted my account that I killed him in, and started over.

I didn't kill Paarthurnax and kidnapped all the blades good/useless stuff
