So I am playing my 6 or 7th playthrough of Skyrim and I have completed the Dark Brotherhood questline before. I'm starting a new game now and am RPing pretty hard as a "good" character. You know, like a knight in shining armour that only does the right thing. I'm thinking of what quests and things I'm going to do and in what order so I can RP well. (Forgive me for nerding please!).

The problem is I can't decide whether my guy should play the Dark Brotherhood, avoid it or destroy it. Try as I might I can't rationalise the Dark Brotherhood to make it "good" the only way I see it is as an evil organisation.

The companions are easy, totally good (even with the werewolf thing since you try to cure it). The thieves guild takes more work but you can at least say that it has a Robin Hood appeal or that it's more about trickery and cleverness rather than pure murder i.e. they are stealing for the thrill and not actually causing terrible harm.

But I can't figure out the Dark Brotherhood. I don't have to play it (since I did it already in a previous playthrough) but I would like to do pretty much everything this time since it will likely be my last game of Skyrim. However I will only do the quests if I can make them fit into my good guy persona, otherwise I'll just destroy it.

Anyone want to help out?
