I'm glad you have finally admitted that you are making an assumption based off of this and that.
I need more then one example of Zaeed,in order for you to even slightly concrete what you are saying.
"A Renegade is willing to let the Council die in order to ensure victory over Sovereign. Paragons are not willing to sacrifice the Council for that chance. etc. etc."
This statement could be seen as being wrong. The choice is about Sacrificing Humans for Aliens,not Sovereign,As both will eventually concentrate on Sovereign.
Renegade is sacrificing the council for human dominance. As hinted by one of Shepard's responses. Something to the effect I seen the opportunity and took it. Implying Shepard killed the council to ensure human dominance,not concentrating on Sovereign. When does Shepard state he killed the council to take down Sovereign? Focus on Sovereign doesn't mean that is the reason Shepard is letting the council die. There is many interpretations for why one Shepard is doing something,there is no cannon or this one is right. As many different people make their choices based off of this reason or that reason. There are many ways to interpret what happen. So saying one of them is they only way this could be seen is wrong IMO.
Your task at the end of the game (Renegade or Paragon) is to stop Saren and Sovereign. That is your first priority for both playthroughs. Paragons during this mission decide saving the DA to be a secondary priority . Stating save the DA no matter the cost. The cost is human lives nothing else. One of your teamates state human losses would be great,and what has the council done for humanity. The other states this is bigger then humanity. The cost was never the safety of the galaxy. It was understood & implied the cost was human lives. So when Shepards states no matter the cost.Shepard means no matter how many human lives are lost. The battle against Sovereign never stops,it doesn't pause while you save the DA. No it is still your top priority. Seen differently.
Edit: Also a little more on the Citadel.
Ok we still knew we would win. As the Citadel is now safe and communications are back up. We knew the Citadel would no longer be used to send the signal out to wake up the Reaper.Keepers,and turn the Citadel into the doomsday relay.The Galaxy is safe.
The fleets seemed to make quick work of the Heritic ships also. So It was the DA,Turians,Humans,and the Citadel against one Reaper vessel. I felt confident in sacrificing Human lives for the greater good.
Even if Sovereign destroyed all of our ships,we can assume Shepard,DA,& Citadel control would radio for more back up. If this were the case I doubt saving 8 human ships would have made the difference. Sovereign wasn't trying to destroy the citadel. So without Saren it's plan has failed. How long could it possibly sit there and fight before getting destroyed? If it could have sent the signal itself, it would have. there would have been no need for Saren either. = Shepard knowing the Reaper WILL fall.
So Paragons never risked the Galaxy's safety,and the choice was about if you were willing to sacrifice human lives for aliens or not. And as I have already said Paragons were willing to sacrifice human lives for aliens,and Renegades were not willing to sacrifice human lives for aliens. Leading to an Alliance with united Alien races,instead of pushing for humanity to take over,for your selfish reasons. renegade=humanity is right,aliens are wrong. Paragon=The first steps to a united & peaceful galaxy.
Yes if you take this situation out of context I guess you could find a reason for the Renegade to be considered sacrificing something for the greater good. But in context I doubt this highly.
The Collector base is a non-issue for me. Destroying it doesn't risk the galaxy's safety any more then saving it helps protect the galaxy. The safety of the galaxy is in question in ME3 no matter what. As Reapers are attacking anyway. And we all know Shepard can win this war with or without it. That's the plot in ME3.Stopping the Reapers and Saving Earth. So in no way can destroying the Collector base be considered as the Paragon risking the safety of the galaxy. It's at risk no matter the case.
