Indeed. The reason is always the most important but even if your intentions are good or bad, fight etiquette and tactics still count. You can have the noblest of intentions but still take out the enemy swiftly but the enemy might still consider it unfair dependingly.

And I never mentioned "evil" or that it is necessary to kill, take out also means non-lethal and in newer games you have non-lethal.

This isn't about morality of good and bad, but fight etiquette and honour.

And thievery is only bad if you do it the wrong way. If you specifically target those that deserve or at least won't have serious problems with having things stolen, and you make sure you don't kill them, then I think that is alright. Stealing is only wrong on circumstance. But if it is a high-risk mission of serious circumstance, then you would need to kill but then it wouldn't become a regular case of thievery. Thief 4 the game is a good showcase.

The awareness aspect is personal, not political btw. It is that thought "I took him out like that even though he didn't deserve it or he had trained specifically for direct combat and I insulted his honour" or "Damn. Even with all my training and experience, that guy took me out without knowing my capabilities.

This only applies to those with a sense of fight etiquette anyway. Fight etiquette mostly deteriorated with the appearance of mechanism weapons like crossbows, guns, cannons etc. and stealth killing.
