Elder Scrolls' Skyrim is an RPG game that was released in 2011.
The game is well regarded and known for its groundbreaking gameplay
and story.
It is the fifth installment in
The Elder Scrolls video game series, it's predecessor being
Oblivion.
The main storyline consists of you, the main character, discovering that
you are the
Dragonborn, a mortal gifted with the soul and voice of a
dragon.
The world that you are in
faces the threat of Alduin, a god like dragon that wants to "consume" the
world. As you are the
only person capable of killing dragons
permanantly by soul absorption, it is in your hands to defeat Alduin.
Paarthurnax is a massive fan favorite. He is the dragonborn's
wise mentor. Players love
his "reformed villain" arc and his philosphical vibe. It becomes a huge
problem for players when
they are tasked to execute Paarthurnax for his past crimes. Most players
find the request heartless
and refuse to complete it. As a result, that quest usually stays
unfinished.
