No one is going to kill him. It's just wrong.

You underestimate edgelords. Plenty will have killed Dwayne too.

They took from people's (still continued to this day) celebration of New Vegas that people wanted morally ambiguous, more faction based stories. Unfortunately what they didn't realize is that to do that you have to actually be, y'know, good at writing and designing games.

He is an ex warlord and murdered thousands of humans in Alduins name until Kyne forced him to betray his brothers. Like he said there is literally nothing but his own will stopping his return to his draconic nature. He's too dangerous to be kept alive.

It's this, Bethesda's writers are shit at constructing moral grey areas to put their stories in. Everything is either be a level headed person or be a moustache twirling twat who picks the wings off of butterflies and eats them.

>>388647169
I like how killing Parthurnax basically guarantees Thalmor's goal of taling down the Skyrim tower being completed.

The Blades are literally asking you to do one of the Thalmor's hardest jobs for them.

Even if Parthy's plan is to wait until the Dragonborn dies before during evil again, there are plenty of ways for TLD to become immortal and keep an eye on him.

I hate Delphine more than any other NPC. She starts off ok, but then gradually gets more bitchy as the story progresses. She starts telling you what to do and refuses to let you in her little club unless you kill the one dragon that helped you save the world. The blades were supposed to serve the Dragonborn not the other way around.

Plus she's fucking ugly

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Maybe he does teach other dragons, or maybe he raises another army and enslaves humanity.

Like I said, anything could happen, the only thing keeping him in check is his will. Will's are not infallible. You also seem to think time means anything of a dragon who is immortal. A thousand years is comparatively a minute in those conditions.

Briefly off-topic, I don't know why any of you care about the morals of killing him when you all most likely did the Dark Brotherhood on the same character.

Each metaphysical Tower which holds Nirn in place has a stone which keeps them active. The Prophecy of the DB only mentions that certain events, in particular the CW, proceed the return of the LDB. This does not mean that CW lead to the deactivation of the Snow Tower.

Furthermore, in Shor Son of Shor, it's mentioned that Stone of Snow Throat is hidden within a cave. Alduin was banished outside of time by Felldir and Co., which serves as an appropriate metaphor for the cave wherein the stone lies.

On a side note, a tower is deactivated at the end of every TES MQ when the Hero destroys or displaces each Stone from it's proper tower. Assuming the pattern holds in Skyrim, Alduin was undoubtedly the Stone in Snow Throat, and the LDB, like the Heroes before him/her, push Nirn one step closer towards destruction.

The common custom of placing "X" on envelopes, notes and at the bottom of letters to mean kisses dates back to the Middle Ages, when a Christian cross was drawn on documents or letters to mean sincerity, faith, and honesty. A kiss was then placed upon the cross, by the signer as a display of their sworn oath. It was also used in early Christian history as much of a display of the same.

Same. She's such a cunt. I hate how in one of the beginning quests with her, you can basically say "fuck off." But all she says is some snarky shit about how you need her, and then the quest just comes to a halt. You HAVE to talk to her and agree to go along with her in order to progress the story.

Bunch of faggots over at Bethesda. Would be so cool if she was still a bitch, sure, but if you had high speech or some intimidation, there would be options in the dialogue to make her submissive. And with the addition of just being able to do the next quest without her if you want, but maybe have her show up anyway like she was watching you or some shit.

I always had the goal of killing her at the end of the game, but I always get bored with the main quest because it's bad and I never get that far.

I'm going to take this time to vent about something that symbolizes how horrible Bethesda is to me: the intros.

They're like 30 minutes or an hour of forced slow story shit starting with Oblivion. Obsidian tried to fix it with New Vegas by making the intro just a stat set up like it should be, but once Bethesda got Fallout back they went right back to their bullshit. Even having a simple stat set up intro in modern Bethesda games would be pointless though because of how little they seem to matter. Its maddening.
>>
>>388658636
there would be really nothing stopping you from doing so
what is she going to do, attempt to assassinate the Dragonborn because he's co-opting your temple for his own purposes? Way to help the Dominion there.
Any decently written game would have (if necessary with a speech check) let your character point out very clearly just how utterly and completely powerless her position was.
At that point you already got everything you could possibly need out of them, she played out her entire hand and you're holding triple aces
>>
>>388659334
I liked Fallout 3s intro alot though, I always wanted to know what living in a vault would be like. Liam Neeson was a good bonus too.
>>
>>388650081
You're not a member of the Blades. You're the last dragonborn; they're YOUR servants.
>>
>>388659334
Eh, you can do intro's well
Skyrim's intro was honestly fairly harmless, you get some exposition, meet a few important characters and the rest of it is basically a tutorial area

after that you don't actually "have" to follow the asshole you met up with, nothing stops you from going your own way

>>
>>388659334
Yeah, the long intros can be bad. I have infinitely more respect for a game that has a nice concise intro, preferably with you creating your character, class, name, etc. before anything else happens.

The intros are somewhat intriguing the very first time, but everytime after that is meh. Almost zero replay value. Would be cool if Bethesda games let you choose a fast-start option after you've already seen the intro once. Just create a character, and you're already past the tutorial section (preferably wearing nothing but rags because it's more fun that way).
>>
>>388659609
this is the biggest problem with both the Greybeards and the Blades

This. For the Greybeards you're basically Buddha/the Messiah, etc.

Parthuurnax's tearjerking change from evil being into some dragon sage doesn't change the fact that he's too dangerous to be alive.

Him teaching thu'um to humans is proof enough, his influence is larger than just his past as a tool for Alduin's destruction.

Are we supposed to shed tears for Vivec and Almalexia next?
For Dagoth Ur or for cliffracers?
I think not, Parthuurnax had it coming.

Dark Brotherhood questline in Skyrim is a fucking cringefest.
I did the Arentino quest for curiosity, then killed Grelod because she did abuse kids.
Woke in a shack with Shadow the Edgehog sitting on a fucking cupboard talking to me in a manner that caused my sword to unsheathe on its own and eviscerate the cunt on the spot.
One time I decided to clench my teeth and suffer through that part, to get to see the sanctuary and its inhabitants, but it just got 10 time worse, like holy fuck, some members in Oblivion were needlessly cheesy, but most in Skyrim were just fucking tryhard.
>>
>>388661998

Damn I never knew this. Will definitely try this out if I ever play Skyrim again
>>
>>388649885
When do those two cunts ever kill dragons? They make you do all the work, and then expect you to kill the dude who helped you the most. He was the biggest bro in the game.

>>388662209
What is stopping the DB from just walking up there, have a chat and some tea with Paarthurnax, then go back to Delphine and lie to her face about killing him?

Also sucked that Titus Mede II is actually an OG and I didn't want to kill him after meeting him

maybe because one day they are on top of a mountain doing some blades shit and sees him at the throat of the world.

>>388662510
The plot twist was also completely retarded, at least in Oblivion you had a mystery to solve with someone trying to get rid of the Brotherhood, there it's just

this

>>
>>388663325
thats different though. Doc Mitchell isn't a powerful dragon that could be a threat later on. As an evil character why let him keep and teach an army of dragons that can end up just being a bigger problem. even then, wouldn't an evil character want his own cult and be willing to kill something for it? I guess it all depends on how evil the character is.

Parthuurnax didn't start making waves until after Alduin was defeated.

His master plan was to subtly influence humans with greybeards, teaching them thu'ms and hoping it would end up well.

Parthuurnax never took it upon himself to broker peace between the remaining dragons and humans, instead he went hiding and he didn't even attempt to deal with Alduin himself, when he eventually did come back.

The vampire waifu joins you either way though.
>>
>>388666747
Either
A) he succeeds and the dragons learn how to live without succumbing to their instinct to dominate
or
B) he fails and the dragons succumb to that nature and do what they would have done immediately after Alduin was dead anyway.

There's a chance at failure but the alternative is doing nothing about an entire species of flying magic breathing monsters unless they individually pick a fight with you.

Strangely enough, I've given thought to this scenario before, about people with bad impulses, but otherwise good hearts and level heads. Keeping sexual urges in check is difficult. Having to do that for your whole life sounds like a horrendous burden. Assuming you're telling the truth and keeping your hands clean, then good on you. There is after all a reason why one might be convicted for their actions, but never for their thoughts. You're fighting the good fight, Anon.

I stopped playing after killing Alduin and Delphine giving the next task of killing Paarthurnax. I left my Dragonborn standing outside of Alduin's wall looking at the region of Skyrim. I turned the game off and never played again.

At least Oblivion had the saving grace of the DB quests being some damn good quests. I still have a separate save just to fuck around in Whodunit. It's the one quest where the Radiant AI actually shines.

Fuck Skyrim. Infinite quests aren't a bonus, they're a detriment. Games have to have ends. If the game never ends, where's the sense of accomplishment in beating it? Dragons will still always be there, no matter what I do. What's the point? Why can I only bring in 3 recruits when the entire point is to make the blades great again?

It was like this in Fallout 4 with the 'ANOTHER SETTLEMENT NEEDS OUR HELP' bullshit. How am I supposed to feel accomplished when the settlements will literally NEVER be safe, and no matter what I do it makes 0 difference? How am I supposed to build a world and immerse myself in it when all of my efforts are inconsequential? The world doesn't have to revolve around the player, but the player should at least have a visible impact.

Even if there was a moral case for killing Paarthurnax the problem remains you're never shown a good reason too. He's nothing but a bro to you the entire game with all his crimes offscreen in the distant past and the Blades basically tell you to fuck off if you want any other possible resolution to the conflict.

A good writer would show us some ambiguity in Paarathurnax, either by implying he has an agenda or hidden motives or at the very least seemed in the slightest bit untrustworthy. But Bethesda aren't good writers.

Depends on how creative you can be with your interpretation of the quests you take. I made a sneaky Bosmer to play through the thieves guild questline and ended up with a pretty elaborate story because I took a wrong turn out of Helgen and just kept running.

See, I usually play fairly benevolent characters and it took a bit for me to get into the right mindset. Winding up in Markarth and getting thrown in Cidhna Mine did wonders for my character's cynicism with the world at large. By the time I got across the map he'd been shit on enough that he was more than willing to try and make the corruption work for him instead.

It was a fun playthrough.

If you gather all the female followers, and give them proper equipment that you find ingame, and some enchant without any exploit, they can kill every single dragon by themselves without dying, even many at the same time, so that part is fuckin bullshit, as for the shouts, they coul teach ulfric how to do it, and skyrim would have saved it self, no need for "muh dragonborn"
There is no real reason for you to be there, asides from being some kind of manager.

Thats not how you spell Nerevarine, he could jump from morrowind into skyrim, kill everyone in 1 minute, and jump back with no fuss.
The dragonborn can't even jump over a house, and he cant do mass killing because "this NPC is spezial, so you cant kill it" and there is no custom spells to do it.
Even if they dont actually kill them, they are just like a bear or a shitty crab, they keep them at bay every time they try to do something funny.

This. He deserves mercy solely based on the fact that he helped humanity, and has been helping humanity for thousands of years. The whole overriding point of killing dragons is because they were actively destroying Tamriel, not just cuz they're big fire breathing lizards.

It really isn't.

There is only my game and the choice I made.
I give no fucks about yours.

Bethesda uses the Schroedingers cat method of canon. Until they state something as canon it os both canon/not canon.

Take Vivec as an example.
In my game he is dead.
In Oblivion there is a rumor he was taken by Daedra.
I know this to be a lie spread by the Tribunal Temple to cover his death.

All of this is absolutely true for my game.
Yours may differ but as I have already stated I give no fucks about yours.
>>
>>388685270
Except Sheo literally states he was the Hero of Kvatch in >>388682735
you fucking idiot. Your Schrodingers cat analogy is fucking retarded and off too, just like your whole concept of canon. By your retarded logic someone who died in the first Oblivion gate in Kvatch and then stopped playing has the canon idea that the Hero of Kvatch died and the Oblivion crisis was never repelled.

Ergo you're a fucking idiot, refrain from posting your stupid shit anywhere outside of /tesg/ again.

Remember being willfully ignorant is still being ignorant.

>>388686176
You are right, though phrases like

>Take Vivec as an example.
This is a bad example though...because
>What is it like to be a God?
>"It is like being a juggler. Things are always moving, and you learn to know where they are without even thinking about it. Only there are many, many things moving. And sometimes, like any juggler, you drop something. I'm afraid it has become a lot more a matter of dropping things lately. There's too much to do, and not enough time, and I'm losing my touch. Perhaps I'm growing old. It is a bit like being at once awake and asleep. Awake, I am here with you, thinking and talking. Asleep, I am very, very busy. Perhaps for other gods, the completely immortal ones, it is only like that being asleep. Out of time. Me, I exist at once inside of time and outside of it. It's nice never being dead, too. When I die in the world of time, then I'm completely asleep. I'm very much aware that all I have to do is choose to wake. And I'm alive again. Many times I have very deliberately tried to wait patiently, a very long, long time before choosing to wake up. And no matter how long it feels like I wait, it always appears, when I wake up, that no time has passed at all. That is the god place. The place out of time, where everything is always happening, all at once."

Even if you do not believe that Vivec has CHIM, he still had enough divine juice in him to revive at least one more time.

>>388647169
I fucking hate the Blades as they're the worst faction in the game. They're only 3 known Blades in the entire game and all three are useless. One is living in the sewers, another wastes your time and sends you on a quest where you learn fucking NOTHING and another is hiding in an inn and attacks you if you're a Thalmor wearing Thalmor robes.

If you removed the Blades from the story, then there would be one less quest for the main story and you would finish it quicker rather than sneaking into an enemy embassy and realizing they know less than you do. They sit around and do fuck all as dragons burn down villages, not even bothering to try to recruit anyone or teach their secrets for how to slay dragons to others.

Instead they demand the fealty of the Dragonborn, the person they are supposed to take orders from and have you run around trying to recruit more blades for them. If the Dragonborn can recruit this many people to the cause of slaying dragons, why not make their own version of the blades? They offer no incentive to slay Paarthurnax and you only get an ability for taking less melee damage from dragons after doing their quest. Wouldn't that ability be more useful when fighting fucking Alduin or Paarthurnax? Their equitment is dogshit as most people will have ebony/deadric/dragonbone armor at this point if they're not speedrunning it.

At least the bards college threw you a fucking party for your initiation and didn't make any ridiculous demands for you
>>
>>388686439
You're an idiot because there's plenty of books in Skyrim that talk about the Oblivion Crisis and the Hero of Kvatch, rendering your argument null and void and you still a retard

>Me The game went out of its way to let me know he is dead
How? Please elaborate how exactly? Not to mention that killing Vivec triggers the whole "you broke fate bla bla reload or live in shit timeline now", all of these instances can be shrugged of as completely non-canon because in future games said NPC's are straight up immortal.

So, they're the only useful Blade and will fuck you up if you play a faggot?

Still not useful because she doesn't actively seek out Thalmor to fuck up, and she doesn't actively try to recruit anyone at her inn.
>>
>>388686781
>>388687428
>and another is hiding in an inn and attacks you if you're a Thalmor wearing Thalmor robes.

He is not an active blade, he is basically an alcoholic PTSD ridden blade in hiding that you actually have to observe and study to find out that he is a blade...or enter the inn as an Elf wearing Thalmor robes, in that case his PTSD goes full throttle and he starts attacking you.
>>
>>388647169
Because they were too lazy to finish voice acting sections for that quest and give you options. Arthmoor has a mod to remedy this issue however you have to turn on subtitles to see deleted dialogue if you tell the blades you aren't doing it.
>>
>>388686982
Yes the "With the death of this char the prophecy is broken" or something along those lines.

So yes the game wanted me to know he is dead.It doesn't happen for every one.

Have you seen the supposed future of the world with Vivec in it?
I will take my chances in the broken timeline.

It was all a plot to usurp Alduin.

This was something I really didn't like. Honestly if you do this then you better have gone Stormcloak because otherwise what is the point.

you're 100% right regarding infinite quest garbage

>he actually likes Serena
>he actually likes whiny teenager with daddy issues
>he actually likes whiny teenager who completely derails the plot and takes away all agency from you

Serana, and dawnguard as a whole, is the worst written thing Bethesda have ever done. Worse even than Fallout 4's main quest.

Who even bothers with the main story in Bethesda games anyway?

>Delphine is for the most part totally useless

>demands you kill him and serve her when it's supposed to be the other way around

You're the one being manipulated here. Delphine is terrified of the certainty of you taking the boss position after Alduin's defeat, so she wants to kill you off quickly.

>>388690283
You're not fucking her, she's fucking you. Every time her dialogue box pops up your mind is overwritten and replaced by this meek, sympathetic, overly concerned white knight who will practically doom the world just so she can be important.

You also can't marry or fuck her at all.

>>388647169
was there actually a choice? i thought it was kill him or not finish the main quest
>>
>>388690181
Why didn't he do that when there was no dragonborn?
>>
>>388690796
The blades aren't involved in the main quest in any real way the second you arrive at the temple and see the wall.

They're basically a side quest.
>>
>>388690796
It's more about roleplaying if you want to rebuild the Blades.

Molag Bal can suck these fucking nuts.
Clavicus Vile directly gave us a comparison for Dragonborns potential powerlevel, a Dragonborn can be as powerful as half of a Daedric prince without doing any CHIM bullshit.
That means that a fully developed peak of his power Dragonborn with god tier shouts can solo most of Daedric demiprinces among all planes.
All of this does not take into the account the fact that Dragonborn is also a mortal from Mundus thus he has infinite potential in addition to all of that AND can achieve CHIM.

Daedric Princes should not fuck with Dragonborn, or they should fuck with him until he gets too powerful, the same way Hermeus Mora did with Miraak and possibly with LDB. I doubt that Molag Bal has the subtlety to trick Dragonborn into working for him so with enough years of training and enough knowledge LDB could mop the floor with Molag Bal's avatar any day of the week if not put up a good fight even in Oblivion realms.

So what do you guys think happened to the nerevarine after his pilgrimage?

>>388653745
Why are people replying to this like it's surprising?
Has 4chan changed so much people forgot that it was the hang out of pedophiles? Have people forgotten the CP spam of old?

>>388691164
Nice fedora there edgelord.

Also vile was already weakened from 0 worshippers before he got halved from Barbas' absence AND he only says you're 'probably' as strong as he is, so your comparison falls short

Face it, you're just a desperate cuck who wants to put a worthless cunt on a pedestal.

GODDAMIT STOP MAKING ME PLAY SKYRIM

do the nexus mods work with special edition on steam yet?
>>
>>388693083
I vaguely recall that nexus has special edition compatible mods in a separate section or something.

But he's right anon

>>388668250
Naw. They tried to kill one, but they got their ass whooped and ended up pledging their allegiance instead.
>>
Delphine is terrified of the prospect of the dragonborn teaming up with dragons.

They don't serve you, they want to use you for a specific purpose and then have you weakened so you don't move outside their control.
>>
>>388693592
>>388693083
Nexus has its own Skyrim: SE section with people porting the mods over to it.

There's lots on there, but no where as near as the original. Plus SE edition still doesn't have the in-game mod manager. Probably because they want to still push their jewness over.

Script extender isn't out yet and I'm not sure if it ever will be.

Yes but literally all the mods required to make the game playable require SkyUI and/or SKSE which both are incompatible

Something that always rubbed me the wrong way about dawnguard is that if you entered the questline with the intent of becoming an evil vampire lord you HAVE to go dawnguard first and be all gun-ho anti-vampire.

They really should have had you stumbling onto an ongoing Dawnguard operation fighting vampires and have you side with one group.
