Uh...it looks like it was spoiled because it was debated which brought to light the full information of the title :/.Nomanslander said:

I killed the old dragon without hesitation. For one, I found his manner of speaking extremely irritating, speak in plain english or only in the dragon-tounge, not in some condescending mish-mash akin to some arrogant Montreal hipster.
I really wanted to piss off the Greybeards. I only found them a bit odd up until their leader suggested that the world is supposed to end and I should do nothing..then I hated them. I agree with the Blades they are all a bunch of useless old farts.
I though the risk of Paarthurnax becoming a threat to humanity was real, as he had the influence to rally his bretheren. Anyone can say they have changed their ways, when they are simply plotting...waiting for a time when both Alduin and the Dragonborn are out of the picture.
Paarthurnax deserved to face justice for his past crimes. The Nazi war criminals who escaped to S.America may have become very peaceful tolerant folk after the war, but they should still be prosecuted for their past actions..even if that means death.
Finally, the Blades have aided the PC throughout the Elder Scrolls series, time to return the favor. It was a bit of a betrayal to be given an ultimatum, but I would rather support them as they might actually be of some use in the inevitable war with Thalmor.

I love that people are still asking for more content in skyrim. I could go ask for more content in modern warfare 2, it is 4 hours long. I am not going to ask for more in a game where I have dropped 150 hours and still want to play more.Proverbial Jon said:
Reason I last heard was because Bethesda wanted to branch out and not focus themselves on just one series. A rather stupid tactic, but let's just hope I'm wrong, hey?JoesshittyOs said:
Well they've certainly not announced it yet and they're probably gonna do Fallout 4, and perhpas another game in between, but they aren't abandoning Elder Scrolls.DagothUr90 said:
Its totally a spoiler. When you first meet paarthurnax he is your friend and nothing indicates that the blades will want him dead(also where did they hear about him existing anyway...)evilneko said:
I have a good memory for spoilers sadly, im glad I already played through that part or I would remember this as soon as I met Paarthurnax.
edit: oh Yeah, and kill paarthurnax? Fuck that! Hes awesome!
No i didn't ...and another thing. How the hell would the blades know if I killed Parthanaax or not. Why couldn't I just straight up told them I did just so I could continue the quest, how would they even be able to verify that claim?
As many have said, Paarthurnax is a bro (And I never refer to anyone as a "bro") and the Blades are dicks. So, yeah, I kept him around. I should've killed Delphine for even suggesting such a thing.
Ok fine, that's how you look at it, but don't tell me or anyone else what is and isn't a spoiler. Why else would there be a thread about killing Paarthurnax if it wasn't part of the story and plot? It's not like the thread asks "did you kill bandits," which is how you see it probably, anyone with half a brain cell would know the only reason a thread would ask a question like that it would have something to do with a moral choice you're going to be faced with.evilneko said:
I mean come on? It's one of the biggest decisions you make in the game, and part of the experience is not knowing what's going to be asked of you.
If you don't want to look at it that way, fine, that's you, but to me it's a spoiler, end of story.

The title doesn't tell you who or what Paarthurnax is. Until you actually meet him, the name's meaningless. And if you're being honest with yourself, the ability to kill him shouldn't be a surprise at all. So where's the spoiler?
Oh well.
Fair point. But for me it wasn't really about the lack of content, just the way the existing content was structured. I guess I was hoping for more of a Fallout: New Vegas style whereupon you can side with various factions and eventually have to choose a specific path and certain quests to follow. The crossroads between the Blades and the Greybeards/Paarthurnax felt like one of those moments but it was not. If you refuse to kill Paarthurnax, the blades no longer want to talk to you and even after you have slain a Dragon arguably more powerful then him, they still won't play ball. I guess I was angry, after all that build up, the Blades essentially couldn't care less that the Dragonborn had defeated Alduin.brainslurper said:
