So what did you do? Did you follow the blades path and stay nuetral or did you outright kill him you murderous bastard! I killed him thrice but that's neither here nor there.

He still sits on top of his mountain with my other dragon buddy flying circles around it. Never once crossed my mind to kill him. The Blades may have their point and I'm not going into some giant philosophical discussion on the matter. But the reality is he helped me defeat Alduin. And according to him he has changed his ways so I'd just as soon protect him should the Blades decide to come calling. Just wish the story would go a little deeper and Paarthunax would make a greater effort in bringing the other dragons in line. No matter, I'll just keep collecting dragon bones and scales from all the dragon misfits that don't want to play nice.

Nope. No patience for those presumptuous parasites that have the gall to assume the mantle of the Blades.

Paarthurnax was the first of his kind, almost a type of dragon Buddha. I'm not going to kill him for something he couldn't help, and eventually righted nonetheless.

Although I love paarthurnax and wholeheartedly agree with his Ive turned over a new leaf pose.I have to say if this was a man in our world who had performed similiar atrocities and we found out he was still alive hiding somewhere, pleading that he changed, he'd get the death penalty. Just pointing that out.
