Without the blades, Dovahkiin would probably be chilling with the greybeards practicing the (useless) way of the voice while Alduin laid waste to the world. The blades are the only ones who seem to be actively trying to stop Alduin.
The Blades provide a nice Inn. great historical records, and examples of what may happen if one chooses idealism over the common interest. Max/ Esbern is correct when he mentions the wisdom in placing such self-interests aside when the entire world is coming to an end; too bad the Blades as a whole do not heed his advice once again.
And Paarth as the so-called Master of the Voice allows his brethren apparent freedom of expression. When one wishes to keep the Dragonborn from seeking Dragonrend, another reminds them that this is not their call to make. In the Blades, all we seem to see is more intollerance from another faction.
I love Max; wish he could have stayed around longer, but he chose his affiliations poorly.
BTW - The VO for Paarth is terrific; great voice, and well acted. This even makes listening to a foreign tongue entertaining and enjoyable, muich like a gifted voice in the opera for me. While I dislike the fields, I admire the talent.
