They're mostly evil.. but 'good' in the sense that they're helping people with their.. er... 'problems'?

In my opinion a majority of the people you're given contracts for during the main questline have a reason to be dead, getting rid of filth, really. After the main questline it's easier, when you're just taking contracts from the Night Mother, simply because they don't have proper names or any purpose in the game beyond the contract. The worst quest given by the Dark Brotherhood (IMO) was to kill Vittoria Vici, I just don't think she deserved to die especially on her wedding day, and I felt bad when she and her husband were so hospitable!

All in all, though, it's a matter of perspective and what you choose to consider evil. Do you think getting paid to murder people you know very little about as an act of evil?
