The console is helpful if you bumped something and it's in your way and stuff like that-or your quest gets bugged and you want to advance it. I can, however, understand your views. Sorry if I was a bit hostile before. As to this-it's just a workaround so you can keep the old dragon alive but be with the Blades. Was a shot in the dark but it's worked on other quests (like the Dark Brotherhood one where you have to kill the elf in Whiterun whose a merchant) so why not try it on this quest?
