I would argue that Paarthurnax's had a very significant purpose, which was the liberation of the Nords; training the Greybeards who then helped Tiber Septim and so on, so while his role in ES:V was minimal, his long-term role was far more significant.
The deep lore does more with ridiculous metaphysics than anyone since Tolkien. Water is made of memory, shadows are an expression of alternate worlds, time can break and leave lasting scars of broken causality, philosophical enlightenment can turn you into a god but you'll probably just unexist yourself at the final hurdle, intelligent trees are actually invasive refugees from before the last time that Time rebooted itself, etc.
The games themselves are fine, if you don't mind some jank.
I thought Alduin was just coincidently thrown into the future to that tome and approximate place and by dramatic timing it was mid Dragonborn executions

Didn't Alduin come to kill/eat the dragonborn but couldn't figure out who it was?
