From the beginning I met Delphine.
I couldnt help myself but to hate that [censored].
She was giving me this attitude where she could instantly kill me if she wanted to.
She bosses me around as if shes the [censored] dragonborn and Im her faithful servant.
I wish Bethesda gave me a choice to just ignore her and choose an alternate way of going through MQ.
Does anyone else hate her attitude? Also with paarthurnax business too??
Like she thinks shes above a dragonbron. An alduin bane. someone who can kill her with a SINGLE Hit.

Yep she really irritates me. I wanted to bash her head in so many times. Especially about the Paarthurnax business

She's the new fargoth

Delphine and Esbern are self rightious, arrogant, ignorant, bitter and childish douchebags.

If i was being hunted down by Thalmor for years I'd be pretty pissy as well.

When she's talking to Farengar at Dragonsreach right after Bleak Falls Barrow, she's a jerk towards you. The first time I did the MQ, I didn't realize it was her.

Yup, i hate her attitude. I tried to kill her and Esbern but no luck on that sadly.

You actually make a good point.
Maybe being chased by Thalmor for years and years could delude a Blades mind to think that she can command a dragonborn what to do and give him attitude.
But still.... She just goes over the lines in what she says...the sneaky little [censored].

Ebony blade made me able to kill othervice unkillable characters (my wife). That may work for them aswell?

Theres actually a console command that enables you to kill them.

Also, her and Esbern have been trying to figure out this whole Alduin thing while being hunted down. The greybeards may be friendlier but if it was up to them you would just sit in their little temple and reflect on the first shout you learned for years while Alduin eats the world. The blades recognize the threat and know you need to take action now, even if you are learning the significance of it as you do it.

Sadly, that character i tried to kill them with is a 2h ebony warhammer, i pritty much 1 hit anything but hard mobs, they went to they're knees pritty fast but they are essential NPCs so i need to console kill them if i want them dead.

He's talking about the ebony blade, not ebony warhammer or ebony sword. Ebony blade is a unique daedric artifact.

Its possible to kill essential NPCs with it?

Murdering someone in cold blood because she is rude to you?


Sheesh, go get some air, people! It's not that serious.

Well in ancient times people who were rude to kings or high ranking officials were beheaded. As dragonborn your essentially king of the blades and your word is law therefore you have the right to kill her for being rude to you.

Ehrm, well its Delphine that needs to cool down, they have the grudge, not me.

Kill Paarthurnax?

Lets say the history of the Blades ended right there

I really like Delphine. She's a paranoid spy and a hardy survivor, it's how she's managed to avoid the Thalmor for so long. And despite the fact that she's a whole hell of a lot safer playing innkeeper and laying low, believing she's likely the last Blade alive, the moment she hears about the dragons (remember, no one knows you're Dragonborn when you first run into her talking to Farengar) threatening people, she's out doing her Blade thing and trying to get to the bottom of it.

Then she goes out of her way to try and help you out too. Is she pushy and trying to get the Dragonborn to lean a certain way? Definitely, but so are the Greycloaks, and man but I don't see people getting upset at their refusal (however short lived) to help you save the entire world until you've 'returned to the path of wisdom, IE. realized the best thing to do is to do nothing'.

It's too bad that, in the end, we saw things differently and couldn't reconcile this, as I refused to kill Parthurnaax. She seemed regretful, but adamant, and I can't really begrudge her clinging to the traditions of an order she's been a part of for most of her life, especially when, as much as Parthurnaax seems to have turned over a new leaf, they do have the point that what he did was bad enough that people remember it THOUSANDS of years later.

Plus, I'm fairly sure she's the one constantly sending notes signed 'a friend' that tell you where to find dragon walls, and these don't stop even if you've refused to kill Parthurnaax. She signed the note left where Jurgan Windcaller's horn was the same way. So I just take it as she can't overtly help me because of the Parthurnaax issue, but she's still giving me some under the table assistance.

So? It is her own damn fault! You are aware why we are after that [CENSORED] right? She was doing all sort of work such as sabotage and spying in our Dominion right? of course we won't let terrorists like her escape justice.

Very few NPCs in the game ever seem to cop to the fact that your character is a unique, increasingly-powerful superbeing, even long after they should have received the news (and heard about the trail of dead giants, mammoths, bandits, draugr, and dragons that stretches across all of Skyrim).

The rudeness of certain NPCs is amusing at first but it's much less amusing the 10,000th time you hear the same lines...

"Another adventurer here to lick my father's boots. Good job."

"Hands to yourself, sneak thief!"

"Go cast your fancy magic someplace else!" (often heard immediately after using said magic to blast a dragon from the sky in a town)

"I thought adventurers were supposed to look tough."

There's no transition at all... you get the same crap at level 65 that you do at level 2. Nobody ever says anything like "hail Dragonborn!" or "Good morning, Thane" except for Lydia, and that's just her default way of talking. Farengar Secret-Fire keeps suggesting that you go join the College of Winterhold, even after you become the Arch-Mage of that college. Arcadia in Whiterun keeps saying "Ah... so you're an alchemist, then?" even if you clean her entire ingredient list out every 48 hours and sell her insanely powerful potions in return.

Even after you've saved a city a dozen times, killed a hundred dragons, donned the only suit of full Daedric armor in the entire province, etc. the guards are still spouting canned lines referring to your pickpocketing skill.

Delphine is definitely part of this whole tapestry of non-reactive abuse.

DELPHINE: "Okay, you so-called Dragonborn, I need you to prove that you can kill a dragon right now!"
ME: "[censored], please. How about if I show you the trunk in my house where I keep the spines of the last twenty dragons I killed?"
DELPHINE: "We're marching out into the middle of the woods to see you kill a dragon!"
ME: "Well, if it'll make you happy. I just need a minute to pack 36 bottles of Alto Wine."
