>>2740543I don't get all this irrational hatred for based AF Nazeem. Why? He is the man! He is my main nigga in all playthroughs, and we both get to The Clould District very often in fact.
As for lore-friendly reasons for The Dragonborn to slay Paarthurnax:
1. He straight up tells The Dragonborn that you are unwise to trust him, or any Dragon for that matter. Further hinted at by his literal name translating as literally AMBITION-OVERLORD-CRUELTY. You may as well be so unwise to trust an indiviual named Lord (in)Sidious to save your wife and kids. And The Dragonborn is surely wise, otherwise Hermaeus Mora would not have blessed him with Eternal Youth (lmfao at cucks in this thread claiming The Dragonborn might still be "mortal", as fucking if Hermaeus Mora would tolerate a "mortal" champion representing him? I just wish Nazeem could be Immortal alongside me)
2. The Greybeards say when you master a shout, it becomes part of your very core essence. So when you master Fire Breath, you BECOME fire personified. And since Dragonrend was created by Man, solely inspired by their hatred of Dragons, The Dragonborn also hates Dragons (including Paarthurnax) by virtue of mastering that shout. Which is probably why The Greybeards were super-reluctant to allow you to learn Dragonrend, they knew it'd make him hate Paarthurnax maybe?
My ideal TES 6 plotline would involve Paarthurnax as a side-villian, but due to a Dragonbreak there are paradoxical mixed reports of The Dragonborn siding with AND slaying Paarthurnax. Just as there should be paradoxical mixed reports of The Dragonborn siding with AND slaying Ulfric Stormcloak. Maybe even call it The Warp in The North? Also Nazeem should be a character in TES 6 too because he's so unapologetically BASED!
