Alright this is the second time Im making this topic because the last one got deleted because of spoilers in the topic name 
 
Question is, save the council or let them die? Im on my fourth plathrough and preparering my character for ME2 
 
What did you do? Saved or let them die?

I let those fuckers die. On my second playthrough I let them live and they appreciate the humans more now but I prefer killing them off because the humans begin to take a foot hold over the Citadel when they replaced the council.

I chose to save them, that's because I always choose the  "good guy" option in cases like this.
But this is a pretty major decision, since the outcome will probably change something in  ME2. Anyways, I think you should do what feels natural

Well, I'd let 'em live. Before I had to reformat my computer, my first and best character did all the "good" deeds. I guess if you want the most cheerful possible ME2 experience, save 'em.

Yay, the thread is back, anyhow: 
 
I let them die, they were way to annoying for my tastes. It wasn't revenge or retribution or anything like that I just was absolutely sick of them not hearing me out. I figure if I let them die they won't be around in the next game to ignore me.

I say save them mainly because letting them die is according to Ryan the default storyline of ME2.  You can just start up a game without carrying over the character data if you want to see how that side of events resolve.

Let them live.  Hopefully it improves their views and appreciation of myself and humans in ME2, but we will see.  Until we see where it goes we will not know.

Ah, sorry -_-'.  I didn't really consider that a spoiler since it's just the default history of ME2 and not anything that happens in it.

I was so annoyed with the council by the end of the game I decided to let them die. Humans ftw!

I let them live because, at the time, i thought that the galaxy would be screwed if the humans ran everything.

Thats the thing, they are politicians so they are supposed to be annoying but I still kinda liked them  Maybe I should just let them live because thats the Good Guy decision "

There ought to be a statute of limitations on spoilers. Nobody has a right to complain about spoilers for a 2007 game, especially one you can get cheap on steam, at this point.

i have never killed them and ive played through the game around 6 times.

I went totally Pro-Human, because fuck aliens.  True, Citadel Space would have immediately revolted after what amounted to a coup d'etat by Human forces, but the Council did give me grief the entire game, so I think they deserved it.
 
I wish I could somehow use my 360 save with the PC version of Mass Effect 2, I only have some lame 'alternative' playthrough from PC Mass Effect.

I think I chose let them die. Me > Council. 

I personally let them die.  They were too whiny, bitchy and just plain annoying so I left them to their fate.
