I just finally finished the Filial Bonds quest. UGH. I literally searched for Torkild for hours, and right when I was about to give up, I turned around and saw him. I was so happy to introduce him to my Dragonbone Greatsword.
I really hate having incomplete quests stuck in my quest log, so I was REALLY happy to finally find the moron and send him to Hircine. I don't know what Bethesda was thinking not having a quest marker for this, but whatever; I got the job done.
I hate that mod. I mean, I still use it, but the dialogue in it is just so overwrought and full of obvious venom toward the Blades. I have a lot of sympathy for Delphine and Esbern; these are two people who have spent the last three decades on the run, hunted at every turn by xenophobic elves who killed 99% of everyone they ever knew or cared about. OF COURSE they're a little cynical and paranoid.
The dialogue options are also hilarious- they pepper the Dragonborn's speech options with draconic, like how some of the friendlier dragons talk. It's crazy, man.
Hmm... I think I'd honestly have to say "In My Time of Need"
Sadia and Kematu are full of crap. They just don't tell you enough about their respective situations to be credible! You can argue one side or the other. Granted, that kind of ambiguity makes for a great first run, but after playing through several times, I just got sick of it.
And of course, if you don't want to add the quest to your log, you have to put up with those two redguards standing by the front gate of Whiterun...
...all the time...
...never leaving...
...until you talk to them... ಠ_ಠ
