everyone like paarthy and not the blades because the blades are not the noble warriors they were in Oblivion. Face it guys, Paarth has to fight his insticts all the time just to keep from being like the others. better to save him from himself, end his struggle by the sword.

plus dragons are immortal, the only way for them to die is by the sword. they do not need eggs as they do not think they can be killed except by a dragonborn.

When u finished the quest thru console, where was Parrthurnax after that? Was he still alive? The reason i am asking this, is that it is possible that the console script simply killed him for u to finish the quest, but if he is still ALIVE then that means there is a way to finish the quest without killing him, that we could try to discover?

Well then along with the Blades, Delphine also is almost as much of a traitor to u, as she wants u to be to Parrthurnax, so it is their loss if they can not talk to the Dragonborn anymore.

U know i am just curious, since it was the Imperials who disrespected the Nord's native religion in Skyrim by outlawing Talos (also one of the straws that broke the camel's back, so to speak, contributing to the Nord's need to rebel against the disrespectful Imperial rule) do u think it makes any difference how this plays out with those wanting u to kill Parrthurnax which side u chose in the civil war? If u are playing a Nord and u fought for the Imperials, against the freedom of your own people and your own birthplace, wouldn't u have to struggle with your identity and inborn tendencies even more so than Parrthurnax who must keep his primal instincts in check? Could asking u to betray Parrthurnax be a test of whether or not u will betray unto death those who truly most mentored and helped raise u to be Dragonborn, such as Parrthurnax did? Does it have any effect on whether to kill him or not whether u betrayed Skyrim and your own kind before, and whether or not u were Stormcloak or Imperial bound in the war? Were u an Imperial or a Stormcloak? And if who u fought for in the war does or does not have any effect, should it?

Great points! i do not want to kill Parrthurnax either! Thanx!

Well said! i will not betray Parrthurnax either!

what good has he done though, sit on a mountain help the dragonborn and lead the greaybeards who do not talk to many others? to me that is being a hermit and to anything to being a real good guy.

still good point even though i do not plan to let them help with their "meditations"

not trusting either sides, but will let the old dragon sleep or whatever he will do after the game, but will keep an eye on both sides.

There wern't any dragons left when tiber septim lived. The dragons existed way back in the 1st era of tamriel. Tiber Septim lived at the turning point of the 2nd and 3rd era (He actually created the 3rd era, by conquering all Tamriel creating a paradigm shift to one where the empire ruled everything, ending in the oblivion crisis)

He was still alive. When I visited him just now, he was sitting on that word wall at the Throat of the World. There were only 2 speech options though, one to meditate and one to tell him the Blades want him dead.

I used this command: setstage MQPaarthurnax 50, then I told Delphine or Esbern that I killed him. You can test this, just save first! Check this page for more details: http://uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Paarthurnax

It's a sign.
Paarthunax must die.

Considering that the Blades have protected emperors who have most likely slaughtered more people in the past while conquering Tamriel than Paarthurnax... I think they're just as responsible.

they protected the septim line, which had both bad and good apples on the tree. Paarthurnax probably wants to save dragons from mortals, at least that is what i get when reading that if he lives, he supposedly goes to teach other Dovah the way of the voice, which most likely benefits dragons as they would not be forced to fight mortals and get killed, mortals do not benefit as the dragons still live.
