I'm with you.
I love all three (including DotO), but this always bothered me.
The game says "play your way", but it feels like there's a right way and a wrong way to play.
I wouldn't mind if the games punished you for indiscriminate mass slaughter, that doesn't seem very Corvo anyways, and lots of open world games have consequences for being a dick to innocents.
But Corvo is soldier-cum-bodyguard-cum-assassin, all three occupations involve or can involve causing death and harm to others.
And some of these targets are truly horrible people that the world would be much better off without. Seems to me that there would be more evil in the world if they were left alive, not less.
