I agree with you. It's not that I don't want to save the council, but you only have one shot at this, everything you've done and been through has led to this crucial moment. You NEED to take Sovereign down. Highest odds for success requires sacrifice and Shepherd is prepared to do that. Great video bro! 💪
Of course Shepard doesn't really care about those fools, they're just a waste of time that whaetever your report every mission Council will just ignore and don't believe it so it's better for them to die and let the Alliance destroy Sovereign. And to the one here saying that Soveregin is just one threat then who cares Sovereign is the "Threat" that time and destroying it is the Priority. It's like saying there a robber inside your house but you choose not to call the cops because you believe there will be 2 or more robbers that will enter your house the next week. 😅
I mean for me I went with hold back until the main threat is open. While destroying a few Geth dreadnaughts would be tactically sound and lessen the Citadale Fleets problems, it would be rendered mute when sovereign opened the relay.
You are correct here. Option 3 is the only way to go. Shepherd doesn't know this is a game and saving the council will still result it the win. They have to put everything into killing that Reaper. Too much rests on it.
While Sovereign is obviously the immediate, galaxy-ending threat, Shepard is well aware that Sovereign is just one among many. This is only one battle, and you have to carefully manage resources -- including the council -- for a long war. Shepard is well aware that the reaper war against the Protheans took centuries, and council leadership and racial cohesion will be critical in the current cycle. There's some great moral nuance here, I think the real problem is that this nuance is lost, and the decision is ultimately inconsequential.
You raise a good point which I haven't considerd but I suppose the question of racial cohesion plays a bigger role when it comes to the appointment of the new council (if you don't save them) and I don't think it's up for discussion that every species should keep their seat at the council.
@@mistercomment1622 In ME2, that different political situation has little impact on the story. In ME3, the choice is ignored and Udina is just assigned the role because the plot needs him there.

It is definitely NOT inconsequential! The whole ME 2 game has a complete different political situation
