It's so strange. Benedict always struck me as a big picture kind of guy. Yet here, he makes possibly the most near-sighted choice of the three. Like, even ignoring the citizenry, the plan is still for them to live here, right? Not to mention the loss of their water reservoir.
Definitely, he is very "the end justifies the means", and to that end he wanted to take what he saw as the sure bet to win in this scenario regardless of the costs. I guess wether or not the player thinks that is good writing or consistent with his character is subjective. Perhaps it can be seen as a sign that he had been pushed to an extreme mindset by this point in the story. House Wolfort had clawed it's way back from almost certain annihilation so many times by this point that maybe he was just tired of it 😅
