Spoiler The Blades Hypocrisy?

[Thorn]

If the Blades are intent on you slaying Paarthurnax....then why do they not make you slay Odahviing?

 

[Leseras]

It's a simple game oversight. If you slay Odaviing, there goes the Call Dragon shout. Lore wise, it could be said that they don't know you can keep summoning him like that. They weren't there when he pledged himself.

While I agree it's an oversight, I'd have to disagree on them not knowing the Dragonborn can keep calling Odahviing. Esbern is smarter then that. (annoying old man that he is.) It's kinda why I don't see the Dragonborn joining up with the Blades.

I do see the Blades gaining power though, somehow.

 

[Leseras]

I think you misunderstood what I said. They know he can call for him using the shout. That's established. However, what they don't know is whether he would come. Logically, after being called out and trapped by humans in a wooden cage, I wouldn't answer that call in the future. They are unaware that the dragonborn can call him whenever he/she wants because Odaviing has pledged himself to his/her service.

I suppose that's possible, but even Esbern knows how prideful dragons are. He's a crazy old man, but not a stupid one. Though yes, I do very well see and understand you now.

How many of you kill Paarthurnax and join the Blades?

 

[RY14NCE]

I think it's more to do with how evil Paarthurnax was in the past before the dragon war, they want him dead specifically as an act of justice. They'd go for Odahviing eventually I assume

Ive had this game since the day it came out and have made countless characters but have never been able to kill Paarthurnax. Plus Delphine and Esbern annoy the crap out of me...

I walk up to the two of them when they are standing outside sky haven temple admiring the view. Slowly, I creep up, preparing my vocals. As I come within arms-reach, I FUS-RO-DAH!!!!! both of them off the damn cliff and laugh about it.

 

[Thorn]

I have only been able to kill Paarthurnax with one of my characters...but that one didn't last long before being deleted.

 

[TheLonelyWolve]

Kill him all the time I ever do the main story, once he's taught me I have no longer use of him, The students sometimes end up killing their masters that and because I just don't really care for dragons, Esbern is right, justice must be served no matter if evil becomes good and seems somewhat innocent.

 

[Jader]

Personally I think Esbern and Delphine can fluff a goat.Never killed paarthurnax and never will.

delphine and esbern aint real Blades, REAL blades would serve the dragonborn not try to order him to kill who he does not want to kill

I have no problem with executing paarthunax. If any top nazi came forth today, and said he repented and remorsed the terrible thing he had been part of, I would have no problem executing him either.

Call it petty revenge, I really don't care. In my opinion, the only reason Paarthunax has helped is because he couldn't deal with alduin himself.

The fact that Paarthurnax helps you is a testament to his will to overcome his own nature. Killing him proves you have not overcome your own nature.

or, perhaps he knew alduin would return, knowing full well he couldn't defeat him by himself?

Just because he tell you he can be trusted doesn't mean you have to.

Never killed him, not once. For me, the Blades' history ended right there when they asked me to kill him.
Canay I miss them though. Diplomatic Immunity was fun, but as long as they don't give you a ticket for a private tea-party with poison dragged in for you by another servant or give you assassination orders similar to Assassin's Creed style (or in this game, Dark Brotherhood style, lol?) I have no reason to stay in touch with them.

He doesn't give you any reason not to trust him.

 

[gangraad]

him being a dragon is a rather good reason not to trust him.
