Thinking about replaying Mass Effect again, is it better to save or let the council die? Which choice is best for advancing the cause of the galactic working class?

    I hated how the game just kinda assumes you’re racist if you let them die. From what I remember, people call you out for doing it, and you don’t even get dialogue options to defend yourself.

      Let’s be honest there’s no good reason to let them die.

        My logic was that defeating Sovereign was more important than anything else, so I didn’t want to waste ships on saving a few individuals.

        The option I chose was actually called “focus on Sovereign”, but I think the consequences are exactly the same as the “let them die” option.

          There could even have been a 4th option for “Save the Destiny, it’s the biggest ship in the fleet.”

          I chose to save them and I can’t recall any consequences for not focusing Sovereign, but that was a decade ago so I might have forgotten.
