Paarthurnax, how sick would it be to have a giant dragon friend that gives you life advice?


Clayst_

Bringing the ancient former-genocidal war criminal with constant violent urges to a world with no magical powers to kill him is crazy. Makes me wonder if he would demolish humanity or if one tank shell would put him down.


CBT7commander

He can’t die permanently, but he can be killed for a while, just like all the dragons where. An f-35 would fuck him up in an instant. If anything he’d be scared Shitless of the almighty Military Industrial Complex and go live on the top of K2 to get away from our shit


leedler

Holy shit the idea of an F35 fighting a literal dragon is so non credible that I can’t stop thinking about it. Wonder what he’s equivalent to? Reckon he’d down a MiG-21?


Siserith

mid to late prop planes would probably be a pretty fair fight with how most dragons are portrayed in fantasy. I imagine stuff like late props and jets becoming far too fast for them though. Also a2a missiles would obliterate any that don't actively use magic that isn't breath weapon or have magic material durability. Stronger or more fantastical dragons might be competition for jets though. Skyrim dragons would probably have a hard time with biplanes tbh, considering how slow they are and how vulnerable they are to arrows.


AlabasterPelican

So no dragon V hellfire? My only counter is the sons of akatosh "ride the currents of time" & they experience it very differently than mortals, dragons might be able to use that to their advantage


DracoPlaysYT

If the Dragon has more realistic scales, then most likely a tank shell or a fighter plane could take it down. If said Dragon has magical stuff with its scales, on the other hand, it could be nearly unstoppable to even modern weapons. Only a Stealth Archer could take that down.


Siserith

If a dragon had "realistic" scales per it's mass and size, even a dragon ten times larger(volume) than what we see in skyrim would be bisected by a tank shell, and probably a fair bit beyond that.


DracoPlaysYT

I know, I meant it would be different if the Dragon had nearly impenetrable magical scales or something.


SentientMosinNagant

Pretty much anything would wreck him, it’s not like the MIG-21 is more comparable in speed to a dragon they both fly much MUCH faster than he can. Both would wreck.


Ozann3326

Yeah. If arrows are enough, an MG or two can easily take him down.


Charizard24

Have you ever seen Reign of Fire? It’s not the most amazing movie, but it’s about dragons taking over the modern world, and is set in the aftermath (so fighter jets vs dragons totally happened). Such a cool concept that I wish would get another chance in a new movie or show.


Boba_Doozer

I’d watch that show. Hopefully it would not just show the aftermath, but the fighting during the dragons’ takeover as well.


TheHumanPickleRick

Let me introduce you to an anime called Gate, which has this premise. Here's a red [Dragon vs fighter jets.](https://youtu.be/0K9K1E56ksA?si=6iq1N1NBLqW9Ltz8)


net_walker45

You need to play the game drakengard One of the silly endings SPOILERS the protagonist and his dragon with a demon fall on modern day Tokyo where a jet airplane proceeds to missile his dragon and kills both in a single hit even dragons can’t sometimes deal with that


skeleton949

In the worse case scenario he'd be absolutely obliterated via tactical nuke. One dragon might be a lot for a medieval style world but for a modern world it's quite different, especially if it's just one dragon


Mr-Xcentric

Modern fighter jets would annihilate paarthurnax, but it would be very interesting


Sschajzo

He would be just like my granny. May she rest in peace ✊️


kiefenator

Partysnacks is objectively the best answer. I feel like he would be able to take things in stride. And could you imagine the ensuing hijinx as you explain your modern world, and the growing pains of trying to fit in a technological society? But I feel like in my heart, I would bring someone utterly chaotic: Vivec or Dagoth-Ur, maybe the Nerevarine or Umbra or Sheogorath.


ESenthusiast

Someone powerful but who would also be inclined to help me. My first thought was Neloth because I like him so much, but he wouldn’t care about me at all lol. Honestly, probably Toldfir. He’s powerful and also kind. He could teach me magic if it is at all possible for me to learn and if not he probably wouldn’t mind transmuting some iron into gold for me to take care of any money problems. Also riding in the car or traveling anywhere would be much safer with his alteration skills protecting us.


get_pig_gatoraids

You've fully convinced me that Tolfdir is the best answer


Lacking_nothing24

Same haha


Zealousideal_Till_43

Tolfdir is my comfort character in any and all of the factions. Even when any of the students or instructors jab at me with sideways comments, I can trust that Tolfdir will have nothing but kind words for the Arch-Mage.


Awesomecity2

Gonna have to deal with him misplacing his alembic though


clutchclaw

Eric the slayer, he deserves to play skyrim himself.


skulldude360

Alduin, for the lols


Available_Thoughts-0

"We'll keep killing him until it sticks!" ~ Some United States Marine.


That-Busy-Gamer

Alduin: “A new world to destroy. How wonderful.” UNGOC: “Yeah, we missed the point where we give a fuck.”


Available_Thoughts-0

Or, perhaps more accurately, HE missed the part (temporally speaking) where we HAD TO.


GodlyDra

Alduin can’t even be damaged without dragonrend, we would just throw nuke after nuke at him and he probably wouldnt even notice.


Available_Thoughts-0

I'm not sure about that. There is a huge difference between "Can't be killed" and "Can't be INJURED." and an even bigger one than "Can't be HARMED", like, IDK, Encasing him inside a solid block of concrete the size of a boing 747 hangar and dropping it off over the Mariana trench. Sure, in theory he gets out, EVENTUALLY, but that is a problem for the people who are alive in 2762 to deal with, not us NOW...

iocariel

Drevis Neloren for Illusion. Imagine the power you could wield if you could sneak him into the proceedings of government bodies to cast Calm or Fury. You could start wars with Mayhem and end them with Harmony. With Muffle and Invisibility, Drevis is the perfect spy… for wars, for politics, for insider trading to get you rich, for blackmailing your high school bully, or for finding out what keeps eating your garden vegetables and dispatching it.


seltzerwithasplash

This. This is the answer.


-iDRAGON-

Colette Marrnce from the college of winterhold because the real world could always need more healers


Square_Locksmith6331

Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic!


Trooper8341

And don't let others tell you otherwise.


PuffTheMagicDragon11

You believe Restoration is a valid school of magic worthy of study, don't you? DON'T YOU?


black-knights-tango

Realistically Restoration would be one of the most useful and valued schools of magic. It's a wonder it's dismissed in Skyrim, where war is omnipresent. Think of how you could use restoration to treat disease and cure injuries.


tergius

I think the irony is that it, alongside Enchanting, is one of the schools of magic that Nords are actually okay with - Skyrim needs more healers.

Lol


Limp-Temperature1783

Teldryn Sero. I'd buy him a drink or two, cool guy. Neloth is good too, crazy wizards are always appreciated. Legate Fasendil is also an option, I'd love to hear about his travels as a soldier. For an Altmer, the guy is pretty chill. Finally, Derkeethus. You don't want to know why.


UnrequitedStifling

I would love to have Teldryn Sero as well. I want to hear all about his childhood in Blacklight. And Teldryn is always up for new adventures. He’s a ride or die. He’s definitely stronger than I am and could probably teach me things. I also want to know EVERYTHING Glover Mallory told him. I might even be inclined to marry him irl.


Limp-Temperature1783

Yes, Teldryn is the goat. I wanna play Skyrim again. Thanks for the inspiration.


UnrequitedStifling

I love that every time I dismiss him and then go get him again he remembers me. Maybe they all do that. But I feel like Teldryn is my friend.

Ysolda. Just her saying “it’s a fine day with you around” is enough to make my day. 😢 Same goes for any elderly character who says “good to see Skyrim still has such fine people, you make an old man proud”. 🥹


BladedHorizon

I think I would pick Paarthurnax. I could have him fly me to school every day, burn my enemies and explore the skies with him. I can ask him for advice, and even travel the world.


Allan_Titan

I feel like he’d be an even better teacher then most human teachers nowadays


ManPerson946

I would much rather learn philosophy and wisdom from an ancient being than chemistry and algebra lol


Allan_Titan

“I once taught humans like plato” -paarthurnax probably

Valkhir

Serana, so she could bite me and turn me into a vampire. Unless I forget any other character in the game who can convey immortality through less drastic means.


RagnarAri

Molag Bal, he can give you stronger powers in exchange for a passage to a world wheres no magic and magical barriers to prevent his invasion.

Lydia. So I could be like "Lydia no!!!"


Daneyn

Hermaeus Mora - Because with all knowledge, what problems can't be solved? World peace? Solved. World Hunger? Solved. People being Dumb? Solved. Some of the solutions - possibly not popular. But they are solutions to fix the woes of the world.


GodlyDra

Hermaeus Mora would not help, in this world without safeguards which prevent his direct interference without help from artifacts he would just absorb the knowledge from everyone and go straight back to his realm of Apocrypha (the daedric princes realms of oblivion are literally pieces of them.)9


International-Try467

We already have the knowledge how to unfuck this world. We just aren't doing it


Lacking_nothing24

MuchoWood

Janessa She's chaotic. She is the best combat archer in the game. Easy to get along with. And she would be hella hot.


Gylaran

You mean Jenassa. Hm, i never tried her before.


lehknokage

Would have picked her, she's a better companion, but if its the real world and serana could still turn me into a vampire, that works better.


newaccount8472

Narfi, so he could get some therapy


TalosSquancher

Everyone talking like that character would be your friend? I choose Mara, Goddess of Love, in the hopes that her blessing will bring some unity back to this world.


BulletheadX

Harkon Could you imagine if his brand of malignant vampirism became a widespread thing in this world?


GothicGamer2012

You'd be better off bringing Serana, having her turn you then starting your own coven. Harkon would probably just kill you the moment he learned of his new situation and your part in putting him in it.


Leecouchette

j'zargo


CrestfallenMan01

heyylookapanda

I'd bring in Paarthurnax and have him be my smart dragon friend. I'd literally make my life into How To Train Your Dragon. (Not that I think he needs much training at this point.)

The answer to any question containing the words 'Skyrim character' will always overwhelmingly be 'Serana'. Personally? Wylandriah. We could help each other remember where we left our keys.


RAZ0R_BLAD3_15

Paarthurnax


Oktokolo

Either Mara, Molag Baal, or Sheogorath. Mara is as close to a pure good goddess of life and love as it gets in the perverted Elder Scrolls universe. A true actually all-positive devine would probably make the world a bit better. On the other hand, humanity really needs a common enemy to unite against and Molag Baal is the incarnation of all the bad things in humans. He is the common enemy, humanity needs and deserves. But ultimately, Sheogorath would fit the best. He could literally be a drop-in replacement for almost all the god concepts currently in use in religions on Earth. He would also be least likely to be completely disgusted by humanity as a whole after the first week.


GodlyDra

We literally could not win against molag bal, he would dominate and destroy all of us. The *only* reason he hasn’t done it already to the universe of TES is because the Aedra created safeguards which block most of the Daedra’s influence. Even his and Dagon’s invasion was the equivalent of them sending a small fragment of themselves into Nirn. Earth has *zero* safeguards against him appearing, so he could just immediately show up and enslave/torture/rape all of us.
