Poor blackringers. That's another evil, but there's also the option to help them fight Magister Reimond and the other one in the Blackpits harbor. So yea, poor guys.
There is a religious freedom and if you don't like it you are demonphobic, transphobic (they possessing different bodies), maybe even racist. Demons, obviously, have completely different culture and can't be holded to the same standard as the other races.
But the Quartermistress isn't like the other Magisters, she gives you not one, but two warnings about not going into that cave, before turning hostile. Other Magisters would attack you on sight, or give you only one warning then attack, not the mistress. I still think, that she's been stationed there just to guard that place and not doing the Magister work, whatever their work is, because of her kind soul. She's not much the usual Magister type.
Yeah, I bet you also thinks that Verdas deserved decaying body. Or that elf girl in the church to become a silent monk. Elf cook in the Driftwood had a right idea : good magister is a dead magister, preferably later eaten by other magisters. They all are pawns of the Lucian-idiot and insane pseudoDallis, and their only purpose in the game is to be killed for experience. Atusa was okay, maybe because she wasn't human pig like the rest of them.
Are you saying, that Geralt's mindset should be applied here as well? Those are two different worlds. I'm not that familiar with the settings of the Witcher, but are there good demons, good "lesser evil" beings, I mean what Geralt hunts mostly deserves to be hunted. While in DOS2, not every Magister, not every demon (Almira the Succubus), not every Black Ring member (Tarquin, I would say, but he's pretty much questionable) and so on has to be evil, there are surprisingly good guys among them (ok, not much of the Black Ring people, but still).
Tomayto, Tomahto. All the characters in the game are flowed, except for elves. Demons also pretty cool. I role played in the game custom nationalistic-elf racist and proven that again and again as the plot was progressing.
Not the Magisters. It was the Divine with the help of his wayward son and Ifan plus some unimportant Sourcerer (Hannag), who nuked the Elves with Deathfog. The Magisters had nought to do with them.

Everything in the massage was written ironicaly and shouldn't be taken seriously!
