Actually, it's up to the game designer.

But hey, how will the townfolk react after their village is destroyed? Are the heroes known to the people and just feel miserable? Or are the heroes unknowns... wanderers that the village can lay blame? Hey, there's no one else to vent their fury upon. And if the townfolk are unfriendly, there's no way they can use the town to resupply and rest too. Might as well be destroyed as far as the player is concerned.

Now the player may have more motivation to save the people.
