First: this is NOT an "alignment" thread. This is a thread about Exalted characters. There is a large difference between those two topics.
Second: An exalted character has no difficulty crushing Evil where it exists. "Stupidity" doesn't enter into the discussion.
Third: Your scenario above sounds Great! Interesting, even! What will an exalted character do, knowing the Evil orcs that escaped may come back? Will he stay around guarding the place for some indefinite period? Will he seek out these Evil orcs and prevent them from returning? We he seek aid from local political and religious leaders in his fight to protect the farmer?
And what will the exalted PC do if, as you propose, the farmer loses his family as a result of the exalted PCs actions?
All of that sounds like great stuff for heroic games.....and, if that's not to your taste: Fine! Don't be exalted! Easy enough!
...just go back to killing things and taking their stuff. It's [Good], don't ya know.
