I am a huge fan of Elder Scrolls so I like to play thing like the book. We all know Skyrim can be a choice based game at times. Now my friends all say the hardest decision they made in Elder Scrolls V:Skyrim was choosing a side, Empire or Stormcloaks but I disagree with them. I think the hardest decision of the game was whether or not to kill Paarthurnax. I really like the blades and the greybeards but when they talk about their dislike for eachother, I try not to think about it. Anyway when the blades told me to kill Paarthurnax I panicked. I love the blades since Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind all the way up to Skyrim and because I play by the book I genuinely respect Paarthurnax. I wanted to continue with the blades but I didn't want the greybeards to hate me. So my question is: Did you kill Paarthurnax or not and what are the reasons behind your decision?

Never once killed Paathurnax in any of my playthroughs, I actually like him and couldn't bring myself to do it.

That's the easiest decision to make in a playthrough. I don't kill Paarthurnax. Delphine and Esberne can rot away in their little temple.
