First of all, you're judging the tool by the people who use it.

Secondly you're assuming by examining well known events and incomplete statistics.

Overall you're basically doing the same thing, that you're against. You're being the Nord/Redguard here, being against magic.

Necromancy is an easy tool to abuse, but research in any field would benefit everyone.

Good and evil relies on your perspective. Too simplified terms to explain anything, really.

I'm sure they hear that from the women, men, and children they kill alot, if not every time. And everytime they raid a village, they cause mental, emotional, and physical pain, despair, sorrow, and anger. So don't you dare tell me soul traping Bandits is evil! I don't like it when it happens to innocents though.
 * How is trapping souls of bandits moral? I completely disagree. I'd even argue if you'd bring up the "using souls of animals and beasts" which is popular view on Tamriel.

Bandits do not think that what they're doing is "honorable". Why would they? They just don't care about the concept of honor, because it benefits themselves.

Cultism, religion and ideology can also be used to justify any type of murder.

Finally, your concept of "morality" is on a level of a primary schooler - if that kid threw sand in my eyes, it's ok if I do the same, and then throw rocks at him as well.

Forgotten Realms (Dungeons&Dragons) are one of the early high-fantasy setting popularizers, and the and  were no doubt inspired by them. and up, however, created a very unique, more in-depth setting. While The Elder Scrolls will probably never match the popularity of the Forgotten Realms currently it's a lot more "deep" setting.

Final Fantasy has absolutely nothing to do with The Elder Scrolls setting.

And finally, questions have been answered, we are swaying way too off-topic at this point.
