I
usually don't provoke fights with people just to kill them. Of course, when you happen to find a daedric dai katana on a random guy on a plantation and he's all alone, he was really asking for it
I do tend to make my characters as murderous as possible though. Standing on a roof, with a crossbow in hand and killing the intended targets (quest targets that is). This doesn't mean that I go around slaughtering everything that walks, but getting away with murder is very fun.
And Fargoth MUST be alive 24/7!
