Some can be saved, some simply cannot because it's part of the story. But for Paarthurnax, there's a lot of reasoning as to why you should spare him. Without him, you wouldn't have been able to learn Dragonrend Shout. Without him, mortals would never have been able to become Dragonborn in the Mythic Era. Most of all, he's been trying to repent all these centuries for it. And yet all the Blades care about is any excuse just to kill a dragon. Only focusing on his crimes, that's just typical human behavior, condemning someone just because of past mistakes. And like Master Arngeir described them, "Their reckless arrogance knows no bounds." When the Blades first came to Tamriel, it wasn't simply about killing dragons, they wanted to conquer the land for themselves. But thanks to a certain Dragonborn at that time, that ambition was put to a halt. However, the Blades used their sworn loyalty as a sneaky way just to keep up their dragon-killing ways. Not to mention the way Delphine thinks how power should be used, calling the Greybeards cowardly for not using it. If that kind of delusional behavior doesn't convince you, nothing will. Because that sort of ambitious thinking is exactly what cost the Blades their lives during the Great War. The only shame is Bethesda not giving us the choice of wiping the rest of the Blades out. Not like Fallout 4 where you CAN wipe out a faction. I just wish that choice could be hard-coded & updated into the game.
100% should've been able to remind Delphine that the Blades serve the Dragonborn, and that's me, so I have authority over her and expel her from the order for her insubordination. Also should've been able to show Ulfric the Thalmar dossier on him proving the Thalmar are happy to see Skyrim weakened by civil war. Tell him how in each imperial city Talos worship exists, including Whiterun where a man openly preaches him. I think Ulfric should've seen the error of his ways and sought peace, but Galmar sees Ulfric as betraying Nord values and kills him. This way the Dragonborn should've been able to stop the civil war not by joining either side, but by realizing their destiny was so much larger than this petty political squabble. Like I'm the Dragonborn dude, you shouldn't be giving me low military ranks and quests to go capture a fort for you. I should be giving you quests. I'm trying to defeat Alduin. I can't be bothered to deliver an axe to some city. Have a courier do that. Couriers can deliver messages anywhere at any time.
@@IZhevranI But Bethesda should do this, that's my point, not leave it to modders to fix your game. Modders should be working on like making massive body parts for characters, not having basic world-building and choice in what is supposed to be an RPG. Skyrim has previously little in terms of meaningful choices. Either accept the quest or not, and get this weapon or this armor piece you'll probably never use.
@shaunholt that is true. Mods reveal all the unused potential of Skyrim. Im an immersion fanboy, I install everything with the 'immersive' tag. Its also crazy how much Skyrim lacks in these terms...and they still didnt do better in Starfield...
its not just dragonrend, he teaches you the meaning of the words you're shouting so you can more deeply understand the power behind what you're saying, which makes the shouts _stronger_ . Partysnacks is my friend and Mentor, he has worked hard not to fall to his nature, and if he could teach the others, the ones still young and willing to learn to do the same, the future of a peaceful coexistence with dragons could very well be possible. If Delphine wasn't Essential I'd have shouted her off that balcony for telling me to go off my big scaly boy.
@@SCP01986 I don’t think I can post the video but he says stuff like “something to tell the grandkids”, “can’t believe I’m still alive” and “can’t believe that worked”
Wrong. Party Snacks shouldn’t die. If he was going to betray you to Alduin he wouldn’t have had you find the Elder Scroll and learn Dragonrend. He worked against the God of Destruction TWICE. His oldest brother, TWICE. and after he is beaten he tries to have the other dragons follow the Way of the Voice and ignore their draconic urge for dominance. Delphine on the other hand, she says she’s loyal to the Blades, who are in turn Loyal to the Dragonborn. But orders you about and makes demands and ultimatums of the one they serve. Completely ignoring that Tiber Septim, the Dragonborn she often praises, ALSO had a dragon ally. Nafaalilargus/Nahfahlaar the Red Dragon. Delphine deserves to die. Party Snacks has proven his dedication and commitment. He even praises her mistrust because he knows the power of his kind and the will to dominate. What is better? To be born good? Or to overcome your evil nature through great and continuous effort?
"If he was going to betray you to Alduin he wouldn’t have had you find the Elder Scroll and learn Dragonrend" No one is saying he would betray you for Alduin, but that he would become the next Alduin. Slowly turn the Greybeards into the next Dragon Priests, wait for the LAST Dragonborn to die, then his true nature of Ambition Overlord Cruelty can come out with no one able to stop him and no more Dragonborns to put him down. "Completely ignoring that Tiber Septim, the Dragonborn she often praises, ALSO had a dragon ally. Nafaalilargus/Nahfahlaar the Red Dragon. " Who was, as you said, a RED Dragon. There are numerous texts already that help explain why it is that Red Dragons are the ones that can be trusted/made allies of. When it comes to Dragons that have served alongside or under mortals, it has always been a Red Dragon. This, combined with his lack of war crimes, is probably why they don't ask you to kill Odahviing. Paarthurnax is a black dragon, has committed war crimes, is in a position where he could become the next Alduin, acknowledges that he is tempted every day to return to his nature, and his nature (his very name) is Ambition Overlord Cruelty. Even if he is a good guy for the moment, it is probably safest for Tamriel for him to be taken out now.
@@philosophicaljay3449 By that logic, a good Dragonborn should end themself after dealing with the three big bads of the game because they themself have a high potential for evil (Paarthurnax points out that the Dragonborn has just as much an innate desire for evil as the average dragon or smth like that). See the fallacy there? There’s no guarantee Paarthurnax is gonna turn. He is tempted, but consistently for a long time he has denied it again and again and is clearly going to keep it up, even as he teaches more dragons his new way of life. Edit: oh yeah I forgot to mention that if he dies, ALL the remaining dragons are gonna start problems and consistently slaughter the people of Tamriel. At least with our favorite Italian plum-I mean guiding dragon, he can lead a fair chunk of dragons off a dark path.
This is completely ignoring the fact that the Dragonborn is literally the only one that can truly kill a dragon. Basically, unless you kill Paarthurnax, the blades and every other human in Skyrim has to hope that either Paarthurnax, an immortal flying tank that admits that his inborn nature is to kill and enslave lesser beings, never changes his mind, or that the Dragonborn happens to be there when he does. You are asking blades to trust that a sworn enemy has completely overcome his nature and will never succumb to temptation. You can believe whatever you want about Paarthurnax, but don't pretend like the blades are being unreasonable.
I've managed to save most of these NPCs but I didn't know you can save Torolf, even after all these years of playing, Skyrim manages to surprise me with more hidden gems.
Orthorn has other ways of surviving. You can tell him to leave the fort and he'll go out the way you came in, or you can (with some skill) keep him alive when killing the Caller and he'll follow you out. He'll eventually show up in Winterhold if he lives. He only showed up at the inn for me but people say he'll appear at the College if you just leave him in the cell. No idea how he'd escape that cell with a lever he can't reach, no living people around, and with it located deep in a ruin away from any civilization, though.
@@poetryismyting8854 Risk of self-harm in the process. I'd say telekinesis but if Orthorn knew such an advanced spell he would likely have just used it to escape after seeing a superpowered person walk through slaughtering all his captors and showing no sign of wanting to hurt him.
I specifically used the "Save Paarthunax" mod so I could tell that b[tch Delphine to shove it and let her know that the Blades serve the Dragonborn; not the other way around. With that mod you can set them straight that you're not a tool to be used but a master who should be obeyed.
You don't even need to slow Time to save Margret. In my first run i simply saw that Guy sneaking up on her with a knive and since i spawned so close to him, i only had to swing with my Wuthraad Axe, the one from the Companions and just when he was already swinging for the kill i got him and literally executed him. First i thought it's like in Solitude, where i jumped up to save the Guy that was about to be chopped of and i would make the whole Town angry but instead as it turned out, i really saved Margret and even got a thank you. Made me feel like an actual Hero. Which makes it even better, when you try to play as good as possible.
For starters I never re-create the Blades, their quests are pointless and I get better stuff by juggling alchemy, smithing and enchanting, why should I care for the guys that failed to honor the Septim bloodline... my Dragonborn will kick the Thalmor back to the Islands and sink the darn place with the help of Partysnacks, Odhavig and Durnhevir... I mean, they can't even close an Oblivion gate on their own.
I assume he's been playing the long game to be the most powerful dragon and thus forcing the others to hear his thuum. He started a cult to keep the voice alive among men, knows how to get dragon rend, and guide you into killing the only dragon more powerful than him.. knowing he himself cannot thus making him the highest ranking. Is he playing the wise old dragon, or as the other dragons suggest, will he bring in a new tyranny of "the voice". Dragons are long lived and patient.
*Here is another one:* When the dark brotherhood story begins with you in the shack having to kill a victim. You can kill the dark brotherhood member and it starts a quest of hunting all of them. You not only save that victim NPC, you technically save all the others that you were meant to hunt if you join them!!!
One time i saved Rogvir, i casted mass hysteria or something like that and he ran to the gates and dissappeared. But they all acted like he wa dead. This was a long time ago though on ps3
@wisygirlywopitty770 After you kill the giant, don't interact with the chief, sneak past or use Whirlwind sprint to get by him, complete the quest and the chief will return to the orc stronghold and he won't be hostile.
Margret is a spy for the Imperial Legion investigating the Silver-Bloods. With her alive, the chances for the ethnic Reachmen to gain protection and enforcement of fair treatment like the Orsimer did increase. Also keep in mind that Dibella chose a Reachman girl to be her sybil. And recall that the Forsworn kidnapped her, yet have a shrine to her. You could say they were defiling her shrine and trying to corrupt her sybil, but I think they just wanted Dibella's help. Sure, the Forsworn do traditionally worship Daedra like Hircine, but if Dibella chose one of their kind to carry her blessing, some of them could see that as a good thing. What're they gonna do? Kill one of their own who has the insight of a god? Sure the Daedra could argue that they want that kid dead because she's an agent of the Divines, but at least SOME of the Forsworn have to have questioned why an Aedric god would bless a Reachman child in the first place. Keep in mind a lot of Reachmen join the Forsworn only because they don't like how they're treated by the Nords. Not because they're die-hard Daedra worshippers. The Imperial aligned Jarl actually doesn't mind the Reachmen. He sees them as regular people and definitely distinguishes them from the radical Forsworn. Even though the Forsworn killed his father when he tried to make peace with them, he's not as vocal about his frustrations than someone like Ulfric. This whole area is filled with hope despite how corrupt it is.
I killed parthonax for the achievement, reloaded to before I did it, and downloaded a mod where I get to yell at Delphine and Edburn about how stupid they are and get to do their quest line anyways
I dont even have mods, i just shout them both off High Hrothgar before they can say “we know about Paarthanax” and never set foot in their temple again
I’ve done all the things over and over. Regarding party snacks (as one put it lol) my reasoning for letting him live was twofold: 1- Delphine. That should be enough. 2- I’m the freekin dragon born and can always take him out whenever I want if he ever became a problem. And he knows that…
The centrist path: once you unlock Sky Haven, get the unemployed bums to join the Blades and do a handful of hunts and Esbern quests, THEN continue with the story and don't kill Parthurnax. (the blades will be as well off as you can leave them, greybeards get to keep their leader and you get to stick it to that moron Delphine without violence)
I recently accidentally saved Orthorn. I went to the Caller fully intending to give him up but I was able to persuade her to let’s us go with the books. Oddly enough he just didn’t show up in the room.
you can let alva live as well , just go straight to the cave before she comes there and kill all the vampires in their layer. if you didn't kill alva in the house , she will physically walk to the vampire layer and sleep there. but if your fast enough she can be spared. i do not know if it's a bug or not but she'll still go to the morthal and sleep in the cave.
For Margret, never go Markarth before get drunk quest. You wake up in the Dibella Temple. When you go outside, you can see the guy who kills Margret waiting you to get close for killing. You can easily snipe him from afar with bow.
>Secret prison gang goes to perform an assassination. Sorry, didn’t account for the fact the Dragonborn would FREEZE TIME and LAUNCH ASSASSIN 5 METERS IN THE AIR.
I always save Margaret and Silas (you must get rid of the Troll near the bottom of the temple stairs before you go to the alter, or it will kill Silas as he leaves). Also Hroggar and Orthorn. And I don't kill Parthunax. Others you can save include the hagraven who is imprisoned in her own tower, but you have to keep up with her because the usurping hagraven has followers and they'll all get her if you aren't there. I seem to remember there are a small number of others as well. There's a Dark Elf on Solstheim posessed by a daedra at the "dig" and I seem to remember another mage on Solstheim too who is attemting a dangerous magical experiment.
Imagine monsters killing the best dragon parthrnax... i can't.. he's a good dragon, who spend eons standing watch. He's so happy to have ANYONE to talk to when you arrive.
Hroggar, Orthorn and Partysnax never die in my playthroughs. Margaret died the very first time I have played Skyrim, but on every subsequent playthrough I was a stealth archer with maxed archery and stealth during my first visit to Markarth (my dislike for that city is great and I'm avoiding it for as long as possible) and neutralized her attacker with ease. And the Caller that wants Orthorn... She is too annoying to choose her over him xd
I saved both Hroggar and Alva in one game, Hroggar goes about his work at the mill and Alva continues to live in Movarth's Lair I also save Avienda in Windhelm, Asta in Eldergleam Sanctuary, and Medresi Dran in Avunjunde. You need a follower mod for Madresi and Asta and Alva, but Avienda you just need to kill Calisto as soon as he pulls out his dagger. Side note: I forget how fuckin' ugly Skyrim NPC's are in vanilla, thank God for Modders!!!
@@iainmawhinney8867 How do you get there fast enough? Every time I try she is dead when I get there or I hear the fighting when I get to the area and she dies by the time I turn the corner.
@@iainmawhinney8867 that totally makes sense. More often than not for some reason when I get over to that area I am at a higher level and by that point I a dealing with some not so weak Vampires. Heck by the level I get over there I am worried about the random vampires that attack you because of the Danwgard DLC. They get NASTY in certain areas like the farm around Rorikstead (sp?), and Dawnstar.
With mods, you can get the vampire grip while in normal form and I normally just grab the attackers with the grip and fling them away. Its cool when you walking through the forest and see a spider chasing a fox and you throw the spider off a cliff into a river 😂
The Paarthunax Dilemma mod is one I always download. Because the Blades can kiss my ebony armored ass if they think I'm siding with them over a literal dragon monk.
I'm a Thane, the Harbinger, The Dragonborn and (my build) a Paladin I can't really let those who don't deserve it to be murdered Unless you roll up on Mr, then heads are rolling
In my many playthroughs, the only way I could stop Weylin from killing Margaret at the Markarth marketplace is by a fast and well placed arrow. You could not possible get that near with a sword before he stans Margaret as you are entering Markarth for the first time.
2:25 Dragonborn: *Cracks His Knuckles* "Your Ancestors Angered Akatosh" Silus:"What Do You Mean?" Dragonborn:"Haven't You Noticed WHO Your Talking To?" Sinus:"Um No?" Dragonborn:"You've Been Speaking To A Dragonborn And Now I'm The Last One Silus Goes Pale And Shakes In Fear Silus:"We Can Talk About This" He Tightly Holds The Razor As His Rage Shows" Dragonborn:"I'll Avenge Uriel And His Sons" And With That Silus Was No More As He Turned And Saw Uriel's Spirit And He Spoke Uriel: *I Can Now Rest* *Along With My Sons* *And I Thank You* Dragonborn:"I'm Honored And One Day I'll Reclaim The Ruby Throne" The Former Emperor Chuckled Abit And Looked Up" Uriel: *Im Happy* *That Your Returning* Dragonborn:"I WILL Destroy The Thalmor For What They Did To Grandfather" Uriel: *Ill Let Him Know* And With That The Emperor's Spirit Enters His Rest Dragonborn:"I'll Free All Of Cyrodiil"
A few things. 1: Spamming the Pacify Spell (or using a Scroll of Harmony from Drevis) will kind of break Weylin's AI. And he'll just stand there for a few seconds, then he puts away his Dagger and the Guards have at him. This keeps you from getting a count to your assault number in the Game's Menu (Something that bothers me greatly on Moral Characters). A Similar Trick can be used on Grelod if you intend to destroy the Brotherhood without "Murdering" anyone. Quiet Casting + Fury while undetected turns her hostile... and by hostile I mean running like a bitch despite being FRENZIED, and then you can kill her without the Assault or Murder number going up in the Menu! 2: There's a way to get rid of the Paarthurnax kill quest without actually killing him (this is perfect for Switch players who don't have access to Mods). Get the Quest from Delphine or Esbern *_BEFORE_* riding Ohdaviing to Skuldafn, go through the area as normal (a fun bonus challenge I do is trying to take down Nahkriin fast enough at the right moment so I get to keep the Staff, it's sweet looking), and upon entering Sovngarde the quest will completely disappear from the Quest Log! 3: Illusion Magic (or Voice of the Emperor if you're playing an Imperial) can also save Hroggar in Morthal. If he happens to spot you when you're looking for Alva's Journal, just cast the basic calm spell. He'll have the same voice lines after the quest.
I tried saving the guy that will be executed in Solitude. He will always die whatever you do. I observed that he will just be stabbed if you disrupted the execution by any of the guards but if somehow you were fast enough to kill the guards and takedown the essential character, Roggvir just drops dead without reason...
Yesterday I entered Markarth for the first time. I was getting ready to save Margaret and stuff, the usual you know. But then... Durak appeared. He made me watch.
In Russian “durak” is “a fool” or “a dumb/an idiot”, and I find it absolutely perfect for this nasty orc Затем припёрся дурак/затем припёрся Дурак - then the fool appeared/then Durak appeared
I actually got screwed out of my last steam achievement because I spared Silus Vesuis but needed basically every single daedric artifact in the game. I had to create a whole new character just to run through all of the daedric quests again so I could finally 100% the game on steam and it was kinda annoying.
Theres so many on the list left out.. like the butcher victim and the priest for the skull of corruption and the bandit in bleak falls barrow just to name a few
The only way I can save Margaret is by going to Markarth for the first time via Sanguine's quest. Silus is ok if I remember to leave chain lightning happy Marcurio behind 😂 but I have the Kaidan mod now, so he clears enemies fast. Would never choose loon toon Delphine over party snacks! Imo the dagon dagger is just not worth it.
When I first played skyrim I was a softy. Always was. I dont kill those who dont deserve it. At the time however I didnt know that the mythic dawn that silus was a big fanatic was was a bad cult kind of thing that caused the oblivion crisis. So I spared him cause I was denying a cruel god satisfaction and saving an innocent man. Years later I learn about it and in my recent playthrough when I played again cause I got the pc version I killed him and if I remember correctly went as far as to put him in a black soul gem As for Paarthurnax I NEVER killed him so I dont know what the ending is like without him. Do you just spawn at the throat of the world and there's no cutscene and you can just walk around freely?
If you follow that train of Logic then you are not going to be happy about some museums in germany that preserved certain misdeeds against a certain group of people
I saved Margret in my playthrough, but I find it weird that she just stays in Markarth. She visited Skyrim and was gonna return to Cyrodiil. Her sister's probably wondering what the fuck happened to her.
You can also "save" Vilod (juniper mead dude Rolaf had a crush on) if you return to Helgen a few days after the escape you can find the special mead upstairs in Vilod's house. Never could find Vilod or Torolf. I believe they were not coded after Helgen and it's possible to get a glitch where they just die instantly no matter if you "save" them. Haming and an unnamed soldier are the only one who lived in Helgen we can meet later in the game. Haming lives with his grandfather Froki. The soldier gets to be a junkie in Red Water Den. Ingrid (the woman on the porch watching us getting decapitated) can also be "saved", but like everyone else, dies after the collapse we encountered in Helgen Keep.(this seems to be the moment all inhabitants of Helgen are removed from the game. In my case trying to "save" the people from Helgen resulted in a glitch where they will just be on the ground after Alduin shows up. All new games are affected with it and I have tried uninstalling patches and add-ons, but I can't solve it.

Skyrim was a good game. The writing could have been better for a couple of the quest lines. Besides that, I just wish it was bigger. Now that Bethesda can’t produce good games and went all in with paid mods, I guess I can at least replay it once more after I wait for several DLC size mods to release.
Bahaha I remember when I was leveluping destruction and I instantly launched a fireball to the first guy. Intrestingly enough, I have never been able to save her before. Leaving le baffled
Apparently, you can save Susanna the Wicked by joining the Dark Brotherhood. If you are fast enough. Get the quest to kill Nilsine. Eliminate Nilsine and Tova will eliminate herself, and then the quest Blood on the Ice can't start. It's not a brilliant trade: Susanna can't hold a conversation, and you lose the necromancer's amulet forever.
Interesting, for me Silus Vesuis never gave me the option to spare him. He instantly became hostile and said "I'm not going down without a fight" without ever making an offer to let him live
Actually had the same thing but recently found out that it is some kinda bug. When at the altar to speak with Dagon you need to stand on the outer side of it, (basically when facing the altar, you will also be facing the the door to the shrine just like the video) dunno why it's like that
Pretty sure Torolf dies anyway, since you don't see him after escaping Helgen. My best guess is that he suffered mortal wounds, or he died from internal bleeding.

But for Paarthurnax, there's a lot of reasoning as to why you should spare him. Without him, you wouldn't have been able to learn Dragonrend Shout. Without him, mortals would never have been able to become Dragonborn in the Mythic Era. Most of all, he's been trying to repent all these centuries for it.

I don't like how you're implying that Paarthurnax should die with that last part. I'm pretty sure many chose to never finish that quest.
I think it's more of the "The game wants you to kill them" should then the "They deserve it" should
Many players choose not to finish the quest or download the mod that let's you spare Paarthurnax
I obliterated Paarthurnax in about 20 seconds.
It was beautiful.

Wrong. Party Snacks shouldn’t die. If he was going to betray you to Alduin he wouldn’t have had you find the Elder Scroll and learn Dragonrend. He worked against the God of Destruction TWICE. His oldest brother, TWICE. and after he is beaten he tries to have the other dragons follow the Way of the Voice and ignore their draconic urge for dominance.
Delphine on the other hand, she says she’s loyal to the Blades, who are in turn Loyal to the Dragonborn. But orders you about and makes demands and ultimatums of the one they serve. Completely ignoring that Tiber Septim, the Dragonborn she often praises, ALSO had a dragon ally. Nafaalilargus/Nahfahlaar the Red Dragon.
Delphine deserves to die. Party Snacks has proven his dedication and commitment. He even praises her mistrust because he knows the power of his kind and the will to dominate.
What is better? To be born good? Or to overcome your evil nature through great and continuous effort?
"If he was going to betray you to Alduin he wouldn’t have had you find the Elder Scroll and learn Dragonrend"
No one is saying he would betray you for Alduin, but that he would become the next Alduin.
Slowly turn the Greybeards into the next Dragon Priests, wait for the LAST Dragonborn to die, then his true nature of Ambition Overlord Cruelty can come out with no one able to stop him and no more Dragonborns to put him down.
"Completely ignoring that Tiber Septim, the Dragonborn she often praises, ALSO had a dragon ally. Nafaalilargus/Nahfahlaar the Red Dragon. "
Who was, as you said, a RED Dragon. There are numerous texts already that help explain why it is that Red Dragons are the ones that can be trusted/made allies of. When it comes to Dragons that have served alongside or under mortals, it has always been a Red Dragon. This, combined with his lack of war crimes, is probably why they don't ask you to kill Odahviing. Paarthurnax is a black dragon, has committed war crimes, is in a position where he could become the next Alduin, acknowledges that he is tempted every day to return to his nature, and his nature (his very name) is Ambition Overlord Cruelty.
Even if he is a good guy for the moment, it is probably safest for Tamriel for him to be taken out now.
And the dragonborn is a demigod that could snap at any moment. We should all jump off cliffs to save the world from ourselves.
Party Snacks...a threat? LOL! He's more moral than any of my Dragonborn! 😂
@@philosophicaljay3449
By that logic, a good Dragonborn should end themself after dealing with the three big bads of the game because they themself have a high potential for evil (Paarthurnax points out that the Dragonborn has just as much an innate desire for evil as the average dragon or smth like that).
See the fallacy there? There’s no guarantee Paarthurnax is gonna turn. He is tempted, but consistently for a long time he has denied it again and again and is clearly going to keep it up, even as he teaches more dragons his new way of life.
Edit: oh yeah I forgot to mention that if he dies, ALL the remaining dragons are gonna start problems and consistently slaughter the people of Tamriel. At least with our favorite Italian plum-I mean guiding dragon, he can lead a fair chunk of dragons off a dark path.
This is completely ignoring the fact that the Dragonborn is literally the only one that can truly kill a dragon. Basically, unless you kill Paarthurnax, the blades and every other human in Skyrim has to hope that either Paarthurnax, an immortal flying tank that admits that his inborn nature is to kill and enslave lesser beings, never changes his mind, or that the Dragonborn happens to be there when he does. You are asking blades to trust that a sworn enemy has completely overcome his nature and will never succumb to temptation. You can believe whatever you want about Paarthurnax, but don't pretend like the blades are being unreasonable.

You did though.
I've managed to save most of these NPCs but I didn't know you can save Torolf, even after all these years of playing, Skyrim manages to surprise me with more hidden gems.

Killing paarthunax makes a bad ending
Killing parthy is the best ending
Orthorn has other ways of surviving. You can tell him to leave the fort and he'll go out the way you came in, or you can (with some skill) keep him alive when killing the Caller and he'll follow you out. He'll eventually show up in Winterhold if he lives. He only showed up at the inn for me but people say he'll appear at the College if you just leave him in the cell. No idea how he'd escape that cell with a lever he can't reach, no living people around, and with it located deep in a ruin away from any civilization, though.
I’d hope aside from gameplay mechanics that a spell projectile could break the cell bars
@@poetryismyting8854 Risk of self-harm in the process. I'd say telekinesis but if Orthorn knew such an advanced spell he would likely have just used it to escape after seeing a superpowered person walk through slaughtering all his captors and showing no sign of wanting to hurt him.
Funny that his body fell on the chopping block with a guy secretly a cannibal 😅
Actually I did
I can live with an unfinished Blade quest. Long live Party Snax! Foos Roh Dah!

@@CerebralZen Just make sure you don't fall into the never ending minigame of selecting new mods!
I specifically used the "Save Paarthunax" mod so I could tell that b[tch Delphine to shove it and let her know that the Blades serve the Dragonborn; not the other way around. With that mod you can set them straight that you're not a tool to be used but a master who should be obeyed.
Party snax lol. Good one 🤣🤣😂
You don't even need to slow Time to save Margret. In my first run i simply saw that Guy sneaking up on her with a knive and since i spawned so close to him, i only had to swing with my Wuthraad Axe, the one from the Companions and just when he was already swinging for the kill i got him and literally executed him.
First i thought it's like in Solitude, where i jumped up to save the Guy that was about to be chopped of and i would make the whole Town angry but instead as it turned out, i really saved Margret and even got a thank you. Made me feel like an actual Hero. Which makes it even better, when you try to play as good as possible.
I have numerous characters and save her every time without slowing time.
Yea I remember seeing him sneaking and instantly went "bad guy must kill" on my first ever playthrough
I know what happens if you don't kill Paarthurnax. I've never killed him. Never seen the part where you do kill him until now.
For starters I never re-create the Blades, their quests are pointless and I get better stuff by juggling alchemy, smithing and enchanting, why should I care for the guys that failed to honor the Septim bloodline... my Dragonborn will kick the Thalmor back to the Islands and sink the darn place with the help of Partysnacks, Odhavig and Durnhevir... I mean, they can't even close an Oblivion gate on their own.
I’ll argue that Parthunax has redeemed himself and doesn’t deserve to die. I usually let him live
I assume he's been playing the long game to be the most powerful dragon and thus forcing the others to hear his thuum. He started a cult to keep the voice alive among men, knows how to get dragon rend, and guide you into killing the only dragon more powerful than him.. knowing he himself cannot thus making him the highest ranking. Is he playing the wise old dragon, or as the other dragons suggest, will he bring in a new tyranny of "the voice". Dragons are long lived and patient.
*Here is another one:*
When the dark brotherhood story begins with you in the shack having to kill a victim. You can kill the dark brotherhood member and it starts a quest of hunting all of them.
You not only save that victim NPC, you technically save all the others that you were meant to hunt if you join them!!!
You also save all the dark brotherhood members unless you go through with the quest to destroy them.
One time i saved Rogvir, i casted mass hysteria or something like that and he ran to the gates and dissappeared. But they all acted like he wa dead. This was a long time ago though on ps3
Same
I also remember saving rogvir on ps3. Trying anyways. I think he’d fall over and die no matter what I did. He’s scripted to die.
After about 1 min the game automatically kills him of he's not dead. So he just drops dead.
You can also pacify Hroggar with a calming spell if he turns hostile while going to his home.
oddly enough, i didn’t see him when i did that quest. he and Alva weren’t home.
You can also save the Orc chief during the Malacath Daedric quest.
How ??
@wisygirlywopitty770 After you kill the giant, don't interact with the chief, sneak past or use Whirlwind sprint to get by him, complete the quest and the chief will return to the orc stronghold and he won't be hostile.

Margret is a spy for the Imperial Legion investigating the Silver-Bloods. With her alive, the chances for the ethnic Reachmen to gain protection and enforcement of fair treatment like the Orsimer did increase.
Also keep in mind that Dibella chose a Reachman girl to be her sybil. And recall that the Forsworn kidnapped her, yet have a shrine to her. You could say they were defiling her shrine and trying to corrupt her sybil, but I think they just wanted Dibella's help. Sure, the Forsworn do traditionally worship Daedra like Hircine, but if Dibella chose one of their kind to carry her blessing, some of them could see that as a good thing. What're they gonna do? Kill one of their own who has the insight of a god? Sure the Daedra could argue that they want that kid dead because she's an agent of the Divines, but at least SOME of the Forsworn have to have questioned why an Aedric god would bless a Reachman child in the first place.
Keep in mind a lot of Reachmen join the Forsworn only because they don't like how they're treated by the Nords. Not because they're die-hard Daedra worshippers.
The Imperial aligned Jarl actually doesn't mind the Reachmen. He sees them as regular people and definitely distinguishes them from the radical Forsworn. Even though the Forsworn killed his father when he tried to make peace with them, he's not as vocal about his frustrations than someone like Ulfric.
This whole area is filled with hope despite how corrupt it is.
0:17 Margret sees a man fall from the sky: "The Foresworn are here in the city!"
0:04 So he was sneaking holding a sword behind an npc... and you just murder him! It's basically the same your character do all over the game!
There can only be one.
I killed parthonax for the achievement, reloaded to before I did it, and downloaded a mod where I get to yell at Delphine and Edburn about how stupid they are and get to do their quest line anyways
I dont even have mods, i just shout them both off High Hrothgar before they can say “we know about Paarthanax” and never set foot in their temple again
In Bleak Falls Barrow you can interrupt the bandit before he pulls the switch and gets killed in the trap.
With the wabbajack you can save the guard in whiterun while calling the dragon
I only recently saved Margret for the first time. Usually I let it happen because I thought it HAD to.
I’ve done all the things over and over. Regarding party snacks (as one put it lol) my reasoning for letting him live was twofold: 1- Delphine. That should be enough. 2- I’m the freekin dragon born and can always take him out whenever I want if he ever became a problem. And he knows that…
Wish we had more interactions and decisions like this, it would do roleplaying much better and deeper with our choices like this.
The centrist path: once you unlock Sky Haven, get the unemployed bums to join the Blades and do a handful of hunts and Esbern quests, THEN continue with the story and don't kill Parthurnax. (the blades will be as well off as you can leave them, greybeards get to keep their leader and you get to stick it to that moron Delphine without violence)
Actually the idiot was wanted to summon Dargon and he learned pretty damn fast that Dagon wasn't worth the trouble
i had no idea you could save Torolf !! i always figured he had a scripted death whether or not fire was breathed on him.
I recently accidentally saved Orthorn. I went to the Caller fully intending to give him up but I was able to persuade her to let’s us go with the books. Oddly enough he just didn’t show up in the room.
Same here. I thought he just ditched me or something. 😂

How did they know you killed Weylin when they couldn’t even see you fast enough? 😂
I remember on my first playthrough I was able to save Paarthurnax and get that sword at the same time.
you can let alva live as well , just go straight to the cave before she comes there and kill all the vampires in their layer. if you didn't kill alva in the house , she will physically walk to the vampire layer and sleep there. but if your fast enough she can be spared. i do not know if it's a bug or not but she'll still go to the morthal and sleep in the cave.
you can spare her if you are also a bloodsucking vampire.
For Margret, never go Markarth before get drunk quest. You wake up in the Dibella Temple. When you go outside, you can see the guy who kills Margret waiting you to get close for killing. You can easily snipe him from afar with bow.
>Secret prison gang goes to perform an assassination.

I never save silus, because the weapon you get just looks so damn cool.
Plus he idolizes the Mythic Dawn. Disgusting.
The hate the guy gets for simply being a museum keeper is staggering for me.
@rayzuke1232 oh I don't hate him, I just want the cool looking weapon.
I will never be able to finish all the quests in Skyrim, because I will never kill Paarthurnax. And I'm fine with that.
I always save Margaret and Silas (you must get rid of the Troll near the bottom of the temple stairs before you go to the alter, or it will kill Silas as he leaves).
Also Hroggar and Orthorn. And I don't kill Parthunax.
Others you can save include the hagraven who is imprisoned in her own tower, but you have to keep up with her because the usurping hagraven has followers and they'll all get her if you aren't there.
I seem to remember there are a small number of others as well. There's a Dark Elf on Solstheim posessed by a daedra at the "dig" and I seem to remember another mage on Solstheim too who is attemting a dangerous magical experiment.

That first clip is just everything. It makes me so happy. 😂
Hroggar, Orthorn and Partysnax never die in my playthroughs.
Margaret died the very first time I have played Skyrim, but on every subsequent playthrough I was a stealth archer with maxed archery and stealth during my first visit to Markarth (my dislike for that city is great and I'm avoiding it for as long as possible) and neutralized her attacker with ease.
And the Caller that wants Orthorn... She is too annoying to choose her over him xd
If you're early in your playthrough, you can use the shout that lets u zoom forward
"I die for my people" proceed to ascend to heaven.
I saved both Hroggar and Alva in one game, Hroggar goes about his work at the mill and Alva continues to live in Movarth's Lair
I also save Avienda in Windhelm, Asta in Eldergleam Sanctuary, and Medresi Dran in Avunjunde. You need a follower mod for Madresi and Asta and Alva, but Avienda you just need to kill Calisto as soon as he pulls out his dagger.
Side note: I forget how fuckin' ugly Skyrim NPC's are in vanilla, thank God for Modders!!!

You could not possible get that near with a sword before he stans Margaret as you are entering Markarth for the first time.
I guess I must be a certain blue hedgehog, because I kill him every playthrough without sinking to being a steal archer
not hard to save her.
Even if you save Hrogga, he will still be hostile if you enter Alva's house after the quest is completed.

A few things.
1: Spamming the Pacify Spell (or using a Scroll of Harmony from Drevis) will kind of break Weylin's AI. And he'll just stand there for a few seconds, then he puts away his Dagger and the Guards have at him. This keeps you from getting a count to your assault number in the Game's Menu (Something that bothers me greatly on Moral Characters). A Similar Trick can be used on Grelod if you intend to destroy the Brotherhood without "Murdering" anyone. Quiet Casting + Fury while undetected turns her hostile... and by hostile I mean running like a bitch despite being FRENZIED, and then you can kill her without the Assault or Murder number going up in the Menu!
2: There's a way to get rid of the Paarthurnax kill quest without actually killing him (this is perfect for Switch players who don't have access to Mods). Get the Quest from Delphine or Esbern *_BEFORE_* riding Ohdaviing to Skuldafn, go through the area as normal (a fun bonus challenge I do is trying to take down Nahkriin fast enough at the right moment so I get to keep the Staff, it's sweet looking), and upon entering Sovngarde the quest will completely disappear from the Quest Log!
3: Illusion Magic (or Voice of the Emperor if you're playing an Imperial) can also save Hroggar in Morthal. If he happens to spot you when you're looking for Alva's Journal, just cast the basic calm spell. He'll have the same voice lines after the quest.
I tried saving the guy that will be executed in Solitude. He will always die whatever you do. I observed that he will just be stabbed if you disrupted the execution by any of the guards but if somehow you were fast enough to kill the guards and takedown the essential character, Roggvir just drops dead without reason...
Heart attack.
This is beautiful😊
Yesterday I entered Markarth for the first time. I was getting ready to save Margaret and stuff, the usual you know. But then... Durak appeared.
He made me watch.
In Russian “durak” is “a fool” or “a dumb/an idiot”, and I find it absolutely perfect for this nasty orc
Затем припёрся дурак/затем припёрся Дурак - then the fool appeared/then Durak appeared
The Dawnguard is looking for people willing to fight the vampire menace. What do you say?
I actually got screwed out of my last steam achievement because I spared Silus Vesuis but needed basically every single daedric artifact in the game. I had to create a whole new character just to run through all of the daedric quests again so I could finally 100% the game on steam and it was kinda annoying.
Theres so many on the list left out.. like the butcher victim and the priest for the skull of corruption and the bandit in bleak falls barrow just to name a few
The only way I can save Margaret is by going to Markarth for the first time via Sanguine's quest. Silus is ok if I remember to leave chain lightning happy Marcurio behind 😂 but I have the Kaidan mod now, so he clears enemies fast. Would never choose loon toon Delphine over party snacks! Imo the dagon dagger is just not worth it.
Didn’t know you could save Hroggar. I’ll give that a try sometime.

I didn’t realize I was saving Thorlof when rushing past the dragon.
I have silus arvel the swift and ebony warrior in my squad with mods of course but its fun having them as followers
When I first played skyrim I was a softy. Always was. I dont kill those who dont deserve it. At the time however I didnt know that the mythic dawn that silus was a big fanatic was was a bad cult kind of thing that caused the oblivion crisis. So I spared him cause I was denying a cruel god satisfaction and saving an innocent man. Years later I learn about it and in my recent playthrough when I played again cause I got the pc version I killed him and if I remember correctly went as far as to put him in a black soul gem
As for Paarthurnax I NEVER killed him so I dont know what the ending is like without him. Do you just spawn at the throat of the world and there's no cutscene and you can just walk around freely?
He literally told you they tried to destroy the world ☠️
@danyelpeter1376 I dont recall that

Bro, I could have saved Torolf by running past Alduin? I always just ran in front of his maw and tanked the damage.
I saved Margret in my playthrough, but I find it weird that she just stays in Markarth.
She visited Skyrim and was gonna return to Cyrodiil.
Her sister's probably wondering what the fuck happened to her.
You can also "save" Vilod (juniper mead dude Rolaf had a crush on) if you return to Helgen a few days after the escape you can find the special mead upstairs in Vilod's house. Never could find Vilod or Torolf. I believe they were not coded after Helgen and it's possible to get a glitch where they just die instantly no matter if you "save" them. Haming and an unnamed soldier are the only one who lived in Helgen we can meet later in the game. Haming lives with his grandfather Froki. The soldier gets to be a junkie in Red Water Den. Ingrid (the woman on the porch watching us getting decapitated) can also be "saved", but like everyone else, dies after the collapse we encountered in Helgen Keep.(this seems to be the moment all inhabitants of Helgen are removed from the game. In my case trying to "save" the people from Helgen resulted in a glitch where they will just be on the ground after Alduin shows up. All new games are affected with it and I have tried uninstalling patches and add-ons, but I can't solve it.
I don’t recall Ralof ever implying he had a crush on Vilod…
@@thecatfather857 Nah, he doesn't, but he sure loves that juniper mead. He used to be sweet on a girl there and immediately starts simping on the mead. I just wanted to hear the elaborate love story.

That's the Robe of Nocturnal. Only available via mods.
@@RoninXDarknight which one?
@@Spinningbakedgood Honestly couldn't tell you...I haven't played Skyrim on PC in a long time so I am not knowledgeable about the specific mods currently available.

Skyrim was a good game. The writing could have been better for a couple of the quest lines. Besides that, I just wish it was bigger. Now that Bethesda can’t produce good games and went all in with paid mods, I guess I can at least replay it once more after I wait for several DLC size mods to release.
Bahaha I remember when I was leveluping destruction and I instantly launched a fireball to the first guy. Intrestingly enough, I have never been able to save her before. Leaving le baffled
if the npc has a decent conversation and continuation of the quest type conversation than that means the npc had many other options other than death.
“I fly for my people”
I had a realization saving margret in VR. I just grabbed the guy's wrist. I am the best town guard!
Apparently, you can save Susanna the Wicked by joining the Dark Brotherhood. If you are fast enough. Get the quest to kill Nilsine. Eliminate Nilsine and Tova will eliminate herself, and then the quest Blood on the Ice can't start. It's not a brilliant trade: Susanna can't hold a conversation, and you lose the necromancer's amulet forever.
Not gonna mention also getting locked o it of buying Hjerim?
you can save the soldier during dragon's attack too
but it is difficult to do so
you have to turn the soldier to the chicken to save his 's life
The first guy does visit the cloud district very often
NGL i thought saving silus and killing parthunax was going to be some way you were explaining how to save Rodvir w8th how the video flowed xD
Not going to lie, I misinterpreted that as 'saving someone who deserves to die' and it gives it an entirely different flavor.
Interesting, for me Silus Vesuis never gave me the option to spare him. He instantly became hostile and said "I'm not going down without a fight" without ever making an offer to let him live
Actually had the same thing but recently found out that it is some kinda bug. When at the altar to speak with Dagon you need to stand on the outer side of it, (basically when facing the altar, you will also be facing the the door to the shrine just like the video)
dunno why it's like that

I never tried a 'Sandevistan' Build on Skyrim that I liked, maybe this one would be good.
Pretty sure Torolf dies anyway, since you don't see him after escaping Helgen. My best guess is that he suffered mortal wounds, or he died from internal bleeding.
