Lol The Blades are kinda retarded since they want to kill the only good dragon >> I just decided to ignore them and continue to screw around on the map
I just used the console command to complete that quest without killing him. The graybeards are happy, the awesome paarthurnax is still alive, odahviing helps me when I need him and I get a potion from esbern to take less damage from dragon melee attacks; worked out well.
Yeah, still a work in progress though but it's quite fun. You recieve a spell called 'become a dragon' that lasts until you cast it again. You can choose any of the standard dragon types as well as paarthurnax, odahviing and Alduin as all three of them have unique models. The carry weight and health stats are still in need of upgrading but it's a start. Being able to fly is handy getting places.
Definitely a hit, this time.
