I agree with some of your points, except the Dark Brotherhood quest

The individual missions are good, each one showcasing different aspects of a good assassin

But the actual quest is not that good when you consider that it's very obvious that both the player and their character realizes that they're being mislead but are given no recourse to do anything about it. You can't warn Armand or track down the perpetrator until after you slaughter all these fellow assassins or anything

Yes, yes, I know that there's the whole thing with Sithis and the Dark Mother and how they just love killing no matter what, but by all accounts, it's just railroading for the sake of railroading and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth

The railroading sucks, but I liked the story and the Agatha Christie quest. Also killing all your buddies is a real knife twister, which is a rare experience in a game for me.
