The forces in the castle are only attacking the village. There's no reason for everyone to die.It would have made far more sense if abandoning Redcliffe actually resulted in everyone dying, thereby denying the Warden any allies there, which should have been the risk of not helping to defend it. It just so happens that the game doesn't really go far enough with the option to abandon the village.
The Warden didn't have reason to believe he could even get Eamon's support, assuming even that Eamon was alive (remember, there were treaties for the other factions, but not Eamon). Saving the town wasn't directly relevant to stopping the Blight, and put the Warden in significant danger.
Killing the Warden to save Redcliffe means the Archdemon wins, so saving Redcliffe was moot.
Moreover, if Eamon's a competent ruler, he should see the value in stopping the Archdemon even if Redcliffe has already been destroyed. And if he's not a competent ruler, why do we want his help?
The choice whether to save the Council is the same.
Add on top that saving Eamon involves the rough equivalent of finding the Dragon Age Holy Grail. So we're risking ourselves to save a town whose army we need, but whose ruler remains in a deep coma, preventing us from getting those resources in the first place.
I would suggest that taking out the enemy fleet while it is isolated from the biggest capital ship every encountered and you have surprise, speed advantage and allies still on the field is always going to be tactically more sound than ignoring the enemy fleet and hoping it doesn't jump you after it's finished off your friends and you've moved into a confined space and turned your engines off.
That should be left up to Hackett and not Shepard since he/she has no idea what's happening between the Citadel forces and geth.
Or maybe a set Turian/Krogan/Volus/any other race set protagonist? Maybe that would be regarded as a too big risk to take though.
If Bioware ever goes with multiple playable species, maybe they should keep the options limited and have those options be aliens that have very similar builds to humans. Asari and Drell, basically.

I think they could make Turian and Quarian work also, they have some slight differences but are still fairly humanoid, batarians would also work

Oh I can agree with that, I was just arguing why either of them should choose to save the Council.

The commander of the destiny had the opportunity to save the council as well.
I typically got the Urn first. Without the Urn, there's no reason to go to Redcliffe at all.Add on top that saving Eamon involves the rough equivalent of finding the Dragon Age Holy Grail.

Since the consequences for failure are so catastrophic, it doesn't make sense to take any unnecessary risks at all.That should be left up to Hackett and not Shepard since he/she has no idea what's happening between the Citadel forces and geth.

Oh I was just thinking about one species. Let's say they would make a game where you can only play as a Turian. I wonder if that would be very popular.
Problem is that they probably would just humanise them in behaviour anyway, so that it is easier for the player to connect with the his/her character.
Jeez... just looking at that video link makes me embarrassed to be a gamer. No way I'm hitting play on that.
How about you play the game or watch it before you make a silly statement?

Haven't had the time to play the Wii U xenoblade chronicles yet but if its anything like the Wii/3ds game there's way more to it than what meets the eye from the trailer thumbnail.

If the alien options were kept very limited, say to a single option or two, it would be a lot easier for the devs to create content that made the experience of playing as an alien character distinct from a human player character. The less options, the more room for unique dialogue or quests.

It's not as good as Xenoblade, but X is still an extreamly fun open world game, far more fun then that borderland meets minecraft game from Bethesda.

I feel like Hackett can make a comment about the Destiny Ascension having helped defeat Sovereign at the end of the Arrival DLC - but don't remember exactly.
He does even if the ship was destroyed.
From what I've seen on video, when the ship is saved, the destiny isn't shown helping the Alliance deal with Sovereign.

Cognitive dissonance and willful ignorance are powerful anchors.
The game looks fun. Thanks for posting the link, Mr.House.
Do you actually have any idea what cognitive dissonance is? Or is that a buzz word you're just throwing out because you disagree with Alan?
I'm judging the trailer. I'm allowed to do that based on what the trailer looks like, am I not? It's supposed to sell me the game, and it's failing.
And that's just fine.
No game should try to please everyone, its a system seller game to fans of jRPG's, but to those not into that kind of culture and media it wont be worth paying attention to whatsoever, when all is said and done the game will probably have moved about ~1 million copies in total.

As usual you miss the point, Sir Knight. The windmill you're looking for is in another castle.

Trust me, mate. When you're involved, not much effort is needed to start poking holes.
Now go look up the definition of cognitive dissonance before embarrassing yourself further.
