I've completed Esbern's last quest, to help him in his study of dragon bones. He's told me if I ever need to fight another dragon to just ask and he'll send the Blades to help. Well, I know of at least two places to find dragons on my map but I don't get an option to ask him for help. Anyone know what's up?

Just slap the mofo/sarcasm. Its probably just a glitch. It happened to me a couple times.

To tell you the truth we don't actually need the Blades to take care of any dragons, but it's nice to have them along to have a joint quest as part of the team. Any console commands out there to bring up the dialogue option?

I wouldn't know since I do not have a PC. I would either google it or wait till a person who has PC to post in this thread.

Esbern is a complete and utter joke, Beth wasted Max Von Sydow.

The Blades definitely deserved a better questline than they got. And the whole Paarthunax thing was inexcusable.

I hate the blades just on the grounds of thier refusal to accept paarthurnax. There no reasoning with them. And on those grounds, i dont bother with the main quest.

I'm willing to pay a Blades DLC where I can tell them Paarthrnax is GOOD. And I'm OP so hes no match for me.
And expand there storyline and much more.

Ohh, there's always a way round that one if you've got the, er, console...
