Skyrim, Can You Drag Delphine to Paarthurnax?

[@P4nd41sL1fe]

We thank you for the generous contribution to our day!

I'd say that Delphine being eaten by Paarthurnax was the most poetic outcome. I'm sticking with that interpretation of the ending.

"I acknowledge that the blades have made a decision, but considering that it's a stupid fucking decision, I have elected to ignore it." - Near every skyrim player

[@mariuszmoraw3571]

I wish there was cancel quest button. The worst spit in face is that after main quest Delphine and Esbern still have essential tags. Finishing them off after main quest seems like duty we should do to the world.

[@GnohmPolaeon.B.OniShartz]

@@mariuszmoraw3571 Well now, you know, they only make the NPCs immortal because they're always so unlikable and they couldn't figure out how to stop us from always killing the important ones and breaking the plot on ourselves. The mortal ones like to be better behaved and but though the children! The children are vile.

[@biocapsule7311]

lol... saying elected to ignore really understates the fury experience by near every player. I am quite pissed by the ultimatum. If the game would have permitted it, I would have killed them right then and there. She was already on the #%$% list when she inserted herself into the main quest and was the least useful. I honestly wish there was a mode for me to beat them into submission if not outright get rid of them.

[@Voidi-Void]

i killed him without a second thought. to be fair, i was rather murderous the whole playthrough already.

[@LtRedScorpion]

I remember i had a mod I got when i got sick if tired of Delphine that allows u to tie up npca and just dump them somewhere (they can only be set free by u or if an NPC sees them) I left Delphine on some mountain. If course it meant I couldn't finish the quest but I was content with wat I did, couldn't tell u wat the mods called as it's been sometimes since I've played skyrim

Why do I get the impression that it would have been easier to drag Paarthurnax to Delphine?

Because you wouldn't need to, Paar would probably just follow you down willingly

[@pyglik2296]

The thing I hate about Delphine the most (apart from her wanting me to kill Paarthurnax), is that she, the great agent of blades, who was hiding from the thalmor for years, just went and used my real name on the invitation to the embassy. Seriously? Now the thalmor are chasing me where ever I go. (Not that they have any chance at catching me, but still.)

[@TheLaughingSimon]

Add "breaching GDPA" to the list of the Blades crimes.

[@mariuszmoraw3571]

Yeah, two remaining members of Blades and they might as well not exist and you would still be able to defeat Alduin. Entire visit to embassy was big waste of time (and painted target on two people backs). Getting Esbern was waste of time. Getting to dragon wall was waste of time. You could easily get all necessary info to defeat Alduin from Paarthurnax. And they then treat you like you owe them huge favour. Where? I as Dragonborn did more to you than you even remotely did for me (or even your "cause"). And they want to kill Paarthurnax for dubious reasons too. They never get into details other than "Oh he was lieutenant of Alduin". Serving Alduin? All dragons at first were serving Alduin. There was NO choice for dragons at begin of time. Even Blades ancient books don't list any reasons for kill list of dragons they have. They litteraly read book and are like "We know about Paarthurnax, kill him cause books from our archives got his name...". They are lucky this game ain't real life, I might did something Thalmor wasn't able to do for years. Finish Blades. Their role is finished.

[@LifeEnemy]

As a gamer i don't want to kill parthunaax, dragons are cool! And Delphine is annoying and Bethesda's writing paints her as a terrible spy 😂 In-world though, she has a good point. You're possibly the LAST Dragonborn. Once you're gone there would be no way to stop Parthunaax if he fell back into his old ways. Hell he even admits being inherently "evil" as a dragon (not exactly evil, but dominating, powerful, etc. You know what I mean) I doubt the dragon is playing a long game, but who's to say he doesn't think differently a few thousand years later, or one of his students decides to take over and recreate the dragon cult? Doesn't seem too unreasonable to me to worry about the presence of extremely powerful, immortal, flying reptiles after they suddenly appeared and started attacking everyone 🤷

[@wildstorm3486]

@@LifeEnemyyou know that’s a well thought out reason. I kinda wish the game would have had her use that argument. If that was presented I’m sure that a lot more people would at least more seriously consider kill him. No sure how many more would choke to kill him. But it’s still a better reason then the game gives us.

[@HexonDevelopment]

I always sided with Paarthurnax except for one time to see what would happen, the game bugged and Paarthurnax was stuck at 0 health and wouldn't die. Even the game doesn't want you to kill Paarthurnax.

Skyrim VR isn't what brings us here. It's the scottish dragonborn and his antics that make the show. Which reminds me, I was recently doing sidequests in Dawnstar, and there is that young ship captain. And he has a dunmer in his crew who complains that the captain is too inexperienced and he will see to find another ship to work at. My mind instantly went to Simon blabbering about how they should work together and how the dunmer should help the captain with his experience and how the captain should listen to his experienced lieutenant. Including lots of ragdoll pulling, finger pointing and handwaving.

He states that he betrayed Alduin himself after pledging loyalty to him, so what's to stop him from betraying us after pledging loyalty. Parthurnaax insinuates that it might not actually be the greatest idea to trust the dragons and keep them around.

@@tric5122 - except that it’s stated he only wants to be a spiritual/philosophical leader. He wants to teach the rest of the dovah the way of the voice like he has the Greybeards (though it is also stated in-game that there will be dragons who will oppose those teachings. We also can’t rule out that he’s lying.) Regardless, I personally don’t think it’s our place to sentence him when he A.) hasn’t done anything wrong for _a millennia_ and B.) we weren’t around to witness to the tyranny of the dragons (and depending on what race you make the DB, we might not even be a race of man whose _lineage_ ever experienced dragon rule.) If it were one of the 3 nords in Sovngarde, the ones that made the dragonrend shout, saying Parthurnaxx should die it would be a completely different story. I can respect that wish. They were _there_ and fought for the wellbeing of humanity. They, more than anyone, would have an idea on whether or not Paarthurnax has grown past his evil draconic nature or not. Or even if his growth is enough to atone for what his kind has done. He himself even says that it’s wise not to trust him considering that dragons are born with an innate lust for power and destruction. But all Delphine has are delusions of glory, stories about “the good old days,” and a book that said Paarthurnax was a member of Alduin’s army (when literally every dragon was FROM BIRTH.) She’s never even MET Paarthurnax, and she thinks the honored Greybeards + their ways, which Paarthurnax helped build, are stupid. She honestly has no grounds to decide the fate of a complex creature such as Paarthurnax.

[@thisisnotthechannelyourelo407]

I still can't believe they added such a giant oversight into the game and never patched it. Delphine admits they follow the Dragonborn, but then treats the Dragonborn like her disobedient child and acts like only she's right and won't listen to reason....I would have loved a quest where you trick Delphine into meeting Parthanaax, just to have him eat her as revenge for being such a miserable woman, maybe push Esbern off a cliff....then you can start your own Blades group that only targets the Dragons that won't side with Parthanaax. I know there are mods...but still....

[@kennethM]

I don't think its an oversight to be patched out. Its intentional. The way of the voice that the greybeards are trying to teach you about is about not succumbing to your power. By resisting the urge to to rule everything, by choosing not to kill parthinaax and run the blades. You are resisting the Dragonborns natural tendency to rule. similar to how parthanaax is resisting the urge to eat humans. Killing Parthanaax is a symbolic point of no return for the greybeards. It shows that you basically don't have discipline and they choose not to speak to you anymore afterwards.

[@rickrogan2355]

Still should have been an another option, even one as simple as side with The Greybeards or side with The Blades@@kennethM

[@cypruslavigne7419]

Not necessarily an oversight, although there definitely is plenty of them in Skyrim. Real people aren't perfect and can often be irrational, misguided, ignorant, and make impulsive and illogical decisions, even when claiming otherwise. Only in Delphine's own narrative is she the "good guy" that calls for justice. The game gives you a choice whether or not to kill Parthuunax and there's really no consequence for not as the questline pretty much ends with The Blades right after. It's been about a decade since I played Skyrim but if I remember correctly the Greybeards and maybe even Parthuunax have dialogue when you bring up The Blades/Delphine to them and they basically say she's self-interested. So the game isn't even presenting her as entirely righteous. As far as oversights, a lot of these were caused by how much content they had to scrap in Skyrim due to how ridiculously *large* the game was both literally and in terms of content, especially for the time. I believe the oversight was not including a dialogue or decisions to confront Delphine and side with Parthuunax officially and either 1.) Changing her mind and reconciling The Blades with Parthuunax - 2.) Refusing and cutting ties with The Blades and officiating this decisions with Parthuunax and the Greybeards - 3.) Refusing and engaging in hostilities or a "boss fight" with The Blades in Skyhaven Temple - 4.) Refusing thus beginning a quest where The Blades initiate an attack on High Hrothgar to kill Parthuunax where you have to travel there and choose in realtime to save/help The Blades or Parthuunax. The latter would definitely be the most interesting although they would've definitely had to have provided some kind of explanation to make it so the Greybeards would've been incapacitated or somehow sidelined from a direct attack on Parthuunax as they are immensely powerful and outnumber the 2 remaining Blades, where at best, The Blades could defeat maybe one of together if they were lucky.

[@bigfootfighter4132]

Paarthurnax has literally saved humanity twice. Not only did he help the last Dragonborn to defeat Alduin, but he with the help of the Goddess Kyne gave mortal men the ability to wield the Thu’um in the first place. It’s so insane that they’d have the most hated, annoying character in the entire game, charge you with killing dragon Jesus himself.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Yup, he started the rebellion in the first place. And after the end of the game he sets out to teach the remaining dragons how to control their urges. Esbern is less annoying, but he clearly fails at a point of the old mentor role that the previous games had. Just look at Caius Cossades and Jauffre, those are peak mountains of muscles who have actual skills at what they do. And both are parts of the blades as well.

[@kieramoore6501]

I don't know why I just watched 30+ mins of you dragging Delphine up to apologise to Paarthurnax.....but I'm very happy I did. This was very entertaining. Also RIP James

[@user-ey7qi9iz8r]

I forgot Skyrim became available in VR and was momentarily horrified

[@ladybritt9366]

I finally have closure after all these years, the ending was better than I could've hoped for!

[@sketchymoray]

a very fitting end for Delphine 😌

[@ModdingNewbie]

Makes it look like she expired from exhaustion, and Paarthurnax knew how dangerous and unsightly dead bodies can be (how advanced of him!), so he proceeded to clean up after DB Simon. 5/5 stars. 😂

[@TangoKittyOmicron]

This was very entertaining, thank you for enduring it and giving us this fine piece of cinema!

[@singingReaper]

0:11 I laughed way to hard thinking after “you aren’t the Dragonborn” that instead of a shove the sound was just a sharp neck crack

[@crazyguy32100]

Nazeem didn't survive the trip to the top, despite Simon not actively trying to kill him. Delphines plot armor is strong.

[@jebuds_friend9912]

The hero Skyrim absolutely does not want or need xD cheers to another great video!

[@TheLaughingSimon]

how dare you

[@thelouster5815]

The Dragonborn being a constantly irate and extremely petty Irishman somehow feels like the unofficial canon.

[@drakethedragon3164]

Irish? Simon is Scottish.

[@dac554]

8:05 That Simon used dragon shouts is so satisfying 😂

[@KankreesCanvas]

That finale was well worth the wait lmao

[@aetherialKilix]

watching the struggle of dragging npcs always brings me joy. no idea why

[@s0ph053]

I wish I knew the mod that allows it.

[@cross172]

"We have been searching for you for a long time because we are sworn to serve the Dragonborn. Now do everything we tell you to do or else we'll kick you out and not be your friends anymore!"

[@IncipientClinic]

Walloper is by far the best description of Delphine

[@kinneyjoseph2]

I can't believe this is a half hour long! I was so entertained the whole way, it felt like 5 minutes!

[@nicoledorman8484]

BIG PARTY SNAX!!! That's my favourite nickname I've ever heard.

[@KyoniSenshi]

Lmao I can't stop laughing! Hope Delphine doesn't give Paarthurnax indigestion lol. Say hi to James if you see him again. XD

[@juanfisi]

If someone tells you they choose the blades over Paarthurnax, then you know that person can't be trusted.

[@OneRedKraken]

I don't know what is more impressive. The setup and the walk. Or finding all that banter to say throughout the process.

[@SotiCoto]

Y'know what would really work well? The mod that removes the shout voice. It feels so much better to do the shouts yourself in VR.

[@CursedSFMS]

All fun and games till you forget words for shouts

[@isalenna6600]

FUS RO-... fuck, what was the rest of it? @@CursedSFMS

[@CursedSFMS]

@@isalenna6600 DAH There is another i know WULD NAH KEST

[@ninjabluefyre3815]

I had a stupid idea for a mod today. It would just replace the sound of Unrelenting Force with burps. They get progressively stronger.

[@KlutzyNinjaKitty]

@@isalenna6600 - Making me think about the Dragonborn in-universe keeping a cheat sheet that he whips out every time he needs to shout.

[@rollanddev]

30:30 or so to skip over to Parthunax. The rest is just him dragging her around and ranting for a while.

[@fizzdash8789]

Thank you very much

[@Rishi_Moon]

seeing delphine being dragged through your town then immediately punching her before running away to grab a warhammer is the best and correct reaction

[@MintTea2005]

This has to be one of the funniest dragging videos in awhile! 😂

[@kawaiiqueee]

Fun fact, according to nexus, killable essential characters is one of the top downloaded mods. I download it just to kill Delphine and Esbern

[@orctrihar]

There also one where you can just say "I'm the fu***ng dragonborn, let me do what I want !"

[@brettjohnson8725]

This video is amazing! “ I hate that you’re making me treat you like a human” has got to be one of the best lines I’ve heard in awhile!

[@cloudyvulpine]

you know its a good day when thelaughingsimon uploades

[@kilojuliet4]

You know what I'd love to see? A timer for how long it actually takes to record these, cuz it sounds way more brutal than it looks lol

[@mTealeaf]

Oh Simon. This video has been a long time coming. Thank you, preemptively, for the laughs I'll be able to return to again and again. Delphine is gonna learn what's what!

[@bluehornet197]

I love how you drag her and beraye her the whole way 😂😂😂

[@WaddenSeaSiren]

Love these! And your Skyrim VR-adventures. I wonder how long the unedited versions of these are.

[@TheLaughingSimon]

This one was nearly 4 hours 🙃

[@NimbusThundertail]

​@TheLaughingSimon Thank you for your sacrifice. 🫡

[@stevensines7026]

As a person who loves challenges such as this, you have my sincere admiration for going through with it. I don't think I would have tried. Though I was disappointed, I was not surprised by the ending.

[@Gwandriwog]

You really are Dragthemborn!

[@linda-0587]

13:30 “Have a bit of respect!” *Delphine heavy swings and causes extra loud death scream*

[@Voice_of_a_dragon]

I have beat Skyrim probably a million times and I have never ever killed Pasteurnax

I have beat Skyrim probably a million times and I always join to Stormcloaks💙. imperial legion is sh💩t

[@noahgraff-uw8rs]

@ravaxander4492 ahh, another true son of skyrim

[@mysticxiiii]

Whiterun Guard 1: Now, what am i seeing exactly? Why does he keep shouting at her? Whiterun Guard 2: He's trying to make her apologize to a dragon. Whiterun Guard 1: She's quite durable... Whiterun Guard 2: She really hates dragons. Courier: Can you just WAIT?!?!

[@Tinkertown-x9z]

YOU DID IT YOU CRAZY COB, YA! You never disappoint

[@faffisalus4347]

somebody has to drag Simon to face his consequences with the alive dead dragon

[@VidelxSpopovich]

What about dragging Lord Harkon to The Dawnguard Keep

[@ACEVENCHESSE29]

Agree 💯

[@cataclysm7256]

Local Scot drags a woman halfway across Skyrim so she can grovel in front of his dragon friend

[@gabrielJustGabe]

You should try the AI mod, it would be hilarious lol

[@nocontender6409]

Problem is they'd have to get the speech recognition thing to catch his accent. Idk if it can do that but maybe it could.
