One of the most talked about moral choices has to be whether the Dovahkiin should kill Paarthrunax or not.
However, most discussion among players ends up being about how anyone could choose to kill Paarthrunax after he helped so much, instead of the pros and cons of each option. So, this moral choice ends up being a prime example of how strange and badly written the lore/plot of Skyrim is, instead of being a predicament that really divides players like it was probably intended to be. Why are the Blades thinking so irrationally? Have they not heard of people changing sides during war? And most importantly, why do the Blades suddenly think they can order around the Dovahkiin, their leader, like he's some greenhorn cadet, saying they refuse to fight by his side until he does what they say? There should be an option for the Dovahkiin to command them to stand down, but there is none. There should be an option to kill or dismiss the two Blades for insubordination, but there isn't one, and on top of that they are both immortal essential NPCs. At the same time, nothing happens if you ignore their command to kill the dragon, so the player is left confused, annoyed, and this part of the story just ends without satisfaction or fanfare. You can't do anything with the Blades, and you can't really do anything with Paarthrunax either.
