They actually didn't do anything idiotic in my opinion. Besides, the epicness came from how large both armys where, how you could see the battle begining and how the music kicks in. Theres a really good moment there.
early DA spoilers:
But if you want to question the strategy, well, not idotic at all I think. Remember they were supposed to lure the darkspawn to them and then Logheans army could flank them. This strategy cannot be done in such a small fortress, there is no room for organized units to freely battle. Even worse, instead of one line of defense there would be several fronts, which will make commanding the army as a whole a lot harder, and if one of those fronts break (which is very possible considering how the darkspwan outnumbers the humans, which will already be scatterd amongst many posts) then all else will fail. And also, you can see the archers and war tolls taking position on the bridge or other high ground. What really surprised me thou is that the dogs actually went first, that made it look a lot more like a true strategy for a real battle. But who cares about strategy the battle just looked awesome.


I've deleted the spoiler from my quote sorry about that...
Anyway hedehodo, about the ending of D2:
just wanted to say, I actually liked the ending sort of was a nice surprise (as long as theres a continue that is), but I was a bit disappointed if you think about it its actually the same concept as Beyond Divinity... And I became attached to my char I was sad that they made him look like an idiot think But they have to do it like this, this is the only way they can create a situation for a "new hero" the old hero has to go so you could make a new one..
