Can you kill Delphine and Esbern instead of Paarthurnax?

Because Delphine and Esbern are always essential characters and cannot die it is not possible to kill them to protect Paarthurnax. However, it is not necessary.

Does the Dragonborn canonically kill Paarthurnax?

So it seems that canon-wise, Paarthurnax must be dead- whether by the dragonborn's hand, or by the hand of some blade operative (perhaps even an intra-dragon dispute?) The last is the emperor. The event of the emperor's demise, part of the Dark Brotherhood quest, is huge.

Does killing Alduin stop dragons?

His death does not kill all dragons. Indeed, I did Dragonborn after finishing the main story, and there are still dragons galore. And Parthuurnax outlives Alduin, unless one is foolish enough to assuage the Blades' bloodlust.

Did Alduin save the Dragonborn on purpose?

No, Alduin didn't. He has no reason to save the DB as he doesn't know, when he attacks Helgen, that the DB exists. Once he does learn, he speaks contemptuously to them, mocking their finite life (“I will outlast you—mortal!”) and their ignorance of the dragon language (“And you dare to call yourself a dovah”).

Who is better the Blades or the Greybeards?

The Greybeards give you the location of Dragon Shout walls, the Blades give you the location of a generic dragon to hunt down. The Greybeards are awesome. Blades should follow the Dragonborn and not the other way around. If you side with the Greybeards you lose Esbern's blessing.

What is the reward for killing Alduin?

Literally nothing. You don't get much of a reward for defeating the World Eater other than the experience. And that's arguably not much of a reward either, considering how fairly trivial and kind of lame the fight is.
