First, Parthurnaax was a lieutenant of Alduin the World Eater , and committed untold atrocities on his master's behalf. Second, he claims that those acts were a part of a desire for domination inherent to all dragons — Parthurnaax's name even means "Ambition-Overlord-Cruelty. The idea that dragons are inherently evil and driven to power may be true, but there's no way to know if that is actually the case.
The fact that Parthurnaax is able to restrain himself makes it clear that dragons in The Elder Scrolls can exercise restraint but often choose not to. It may be extremely difficult, but the fact that it is not impossible makes it hard to let Parthurnaax off the hook for his past. Justice aside, one of the other major problems with this line of thinking is that basing the decision on a personal judgement of Parthurnaax misses out on some major factors that even the dragon himself points out.
Part of Parthurnaax's claim that he has overcome his inherent drive for power is that "not one day goes by where [he] is not tempted to return to [his] evil nature. It is possible that Parthurnaax is right and that dragons are inherently driven to power and cruelty, which may partially admonish him of some of the deeds from the past.
However, dragons are also essentially immortal unless their souls are absorbed by the Dovahkiin. Therefore, no matter how long it takes, unless Parthurnaax is killed, then the dragon returning to his old ways is an inevitability based on the very claims Parthurnaax himself makes to the Dragonborn. The player character in Skyrim is the last Dragonborn, and the argument can be made that by sparing Parthurnaax and letting the dragon outlive them, they are putting people in the future at huge risk when Parthurnaax inevitably loses control again.
When immortality is on the table, that eventuality is only a matter of time. When that happens, it's not clear if Parthurnaax could ever truly be defeated without a Dragonborn to absorb his soul. It could be argued that Parthurnaax may ultimately end up doing more good in the time he's alive than the evil he may commit again one day.
I trust paarthurnax, he is wise, and trust worthy. Irizu Folf You said that Delphine never says anything on the matter. I recently got back into Skyrim after getting PS4 version. Just moments ago, after capturing Odahviing, Delphine inititiated conversation, and told me to kill Parthurnax. Not Esbern. I had never killed Parthurnax in my previous game play, and immidiately after Delphine told me to kill Parthurnax, I searched to see what the choice outcomes were. Yes, she does say to kill Parthurnax.
Not going to say anything smartass, or hateful, but you were wrong with that statement. JDL I think it may depend on your actions throughout the game? I only say this, because after writing that message, I went and did the quest to make sure I didn't misinform.
When I completed the quest, Esbern was the one to come and tell me to kill him. I'm not accusing you of lying, just kind of confused. Explore Wikis Community Central. Register Don't have an account?

Players will not be welcome at High Hrothgar , there are no more bonuses from Paarthurnax, and the peace treaty council cannot be formed, but the player will be able to join the Blades. Esbern will also offer the player a potion that gives them a permanent buff when fighting dragons. It doesn't seem all that bad, but it is far more beneficial to keep Paarthurnax alive. Should players keep the great dragon alive, they can still get help from Arngeir in locating Word Walls to fully unlock the power of the voice.
Paarthurnax will offer temporary buffs to Shouts, and the peace council to help settle Skyrim 's civil war can be convened - which may drastically change allegiances and Jarls. Upon completing the game, Paarthurnax appears in a special cutscene and vows to rein in the remaining dragons, teaching them the Way of the Voice, and instilling peace throughout Skyrim.
The only negative to keeping him alive is that Esbern will not create the potion and the quest will go incomplete in the player's quest log. It should also be noted the player will still have access to Sky Haven Temple, the headquarters of the Blades.
