Narratives of the game have moved on from that but the gameplay really hasn't, causing dissonance.And if a lot of the game is about combat and killing, then I think it is more honest to just accept that the world is not enlightened and the characters are not morally perfect. You may call it "embracing evil", I'd just call it roleplaying an era without all our modern morals and the privilege that lets us afford them. To me that is far less jarring than continuing the bloodbath but concocting spurious reasons why this actually is totally morally enlightened thing to do.</blockquote>
