Is Arngeir essential?

Yes, Arngeir is an essential NPC in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, meaning you cannot kill him during normal gameplay because his health is set so he'll just fall to a knee and recover, preventing him from dying and breaking the main questline that relies on him as a teacher and guide for the Dragonborn. Attempting to kill him without console commands or mods will result in him becoming incapacitated but not dead, and using those methods can break your game, so it's best not to try.

Is Killing Paarthurnax canon?

Killing Paarthurnax isn't definitively canon; it's a major player choice in Skyrim, and future lore might favor either outcome, but many fans argue killing him is more "lore-accurate" due to the Blades' insistence and dragon nature, while sparing him makes sense for his redemption, with Bethesda leaving it open for the player to decide what makes the most sense for their Dragonborn.

Who is the weakest companion in Skyrim?

The title of "worst follower in Skyrim" often goes to Sven, the bard from Riverwood, due to his low combat potential, civilian skills, and uninspiring nature, though Cosnach (the drunkard) and Adelaisa Vendicci (the East Empire Company worker) are strong contenders for similar reasons, often cited as being useless and having low level caps. They're poor fighters, but good for bait in the Daedric Shrine of Boethiah quest if you need to sacrifice someone.

Is it actually 7000 steps in Skyrim?

Trivia. In an interview, Todd Howard jokingly mentioned that he would count all the steps leading up to High Hrothgar to make sure it's 7,000. Counting each visible step will only get one to around 700–800, though the path itself is quite worn and snow seems to cover much of it.

Can I avoid killing Paarthurnax?

Yes, you absolutely can choose not to kill Paarthurnax in Skyrim, though it locks you out of quests with the Blades (Delphine & Esbern), meaning no dragon hunts with them or access to their lair, while sparing him keeps the Greybeards friendly and allows meditation on Word Walls, but angers the Blades, making them refuse further help. You can continue the main story, and some players use mods like "The Paarthurnax Dilemma" to resolve the conflict and keep both factions happy.
