Strahd, this action contains no good if the definition of good is:
Putting aside ones own agenda for the benefit of others
and evil as being:
Putting aside others benefit for ones own agenda.
You presented the scenario of someone committing "the lesser of two evils".
Taking a life is by definition evil. Thus it would be impossible for any character to complete Baldurs Gate as a truly good character.
The Alignments are as Accord stated roleplay guides that are reminiscent of dominant moral codes within an individual, but hardly representative of them.

"No. It can't be played"
"Can I look at it?
"No we've seen enough of that one....."
