Why? When I was a kid I ran around knocking people out in Thief and then throwing their unconscious bodies into water or fires. :P Look how sane I turned out! (Ok, maybe that was not the best example. :P)
Seriously though, one of the funnest things about games like Oblivion is being able to run around wiping out a whole city of whining civies and block-headed guards. :P How can that not appeal to you?
