About this mod Machine translation

Not satisfied with the main quest and forced by Blade to kill Paarthurnax? Do you really want Delphine to have sex with Esbern? Added three results to the paarthurnax side quest.

I first tried this mod in Skyrim Legends and loved it. I finally got permission from a200500 to port it to SE, so

Others can enjoy it too. Thanks to a200500 for allowing me to port this mod.

You can find the LE version here:

Below is a straight tear from the original mod.

Added three possible outcomes to the Paarthurnax supplementary quest.

1a) Lying

2a) murder in rage

2b) Murder before this mission starts

3a) Chat

Talk to relevant NPCs to learn about their story side to open

Alternative options. Still after discussing with Blade why they think

You should do something that makes your character fed up

Condemn one of the two blades. (Stage 60)

Or as per requirement you can also exploit the unnecessary status that both characters have

This happens after learning the name of the dragon. Note that due to their low

You need to kill both to fully complete the mission. Mod

Even if you go over it will try to update its base status

A task in which you learn names.

If you're past the point of no return, you should know that this mod won't have any impact after that point.

Update 1: After completing an alternate route, the task-related dialog tree closes

Update 2: Graybeard Radiant Story Quests are still enabled on Alt. Finish

Quests will not disappear after completing the main questline.

Update 3: Added trigger to unnecessary two characters after learning the dragon's name in either mission.

Update 4: You can now also talk to them through lectures.

Update 5: The activation path is now simpler (talk to and*, talk to graybeard or paarthurnax)

Update 5.1: Fixed an error that might occur if you have already completed the main mission

and talk to Greybeard (I now set my own stage which is

Stage 30, so if you come back you can still do it again)

Update 6: Added startup script so tasks can be updated even if you are past the main task line

Update 7: Changed script to monitor when blade is not critical

Update 8: Monitoring scripts made to also hide tasks if the game and general code improvements hide them.

Update 8.1: Check completion and add task phase to check for inconsistencies.

Not really updated yet, just replied to a very old email telling me

Put both files into a folder to make them NMM compatible. (The file is

Same as old version)

To-Do: [Busy IRL]

I first tried this mod in the Legendary Edition of Skyrim and loved it.  I have finally gotten permissions from a200500 to port it to SE so

everyone else can enjoy it too.  Thanks to a200500 for allowing me to port this mod.

You can find the LE version here:

The following is a direct rip from the original mod.

Adds three additional possible outcomes to the Paarthurnax sidequest.

1a) Lie

2a) Murder in a fit of rage

2b) Murder before this quest even starts

3a) Talk them down

Talk to the involved NPCs to learn their side of the story to open the

alternate option. Also after talking to the Blades about why they think

you should do something your character gets fed up enough to either

berate the either of the Blades. (Stage 60)

Or as requested you can also take advantage of the unessential status two characters have

which occurs after learning a dragons name. Note that due to their low

intelligence you need to kill both to fail the quest completely. The mod

also will attempt to update their essential status even if your past

the quest that you learn the name in.

If you already past the point of no return you should know and this mod will not have any affect after that point.

Update 1: Dialog trees related to quest closed after finishing through alternate route

Update 2: Graybeard Radiant Story Quests Remain enabled on Alt. Completion,

and quest will not vanish after finishing main quest line.

Update 3: Added trigger to unessential two characters after learning the name o …

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
