Yeah, I hear it a lot how Arthas' story was about a man whose ideals were slowly corrupted
When I played through WC3, I thought his sudden shift in tone was honestly jarring, as his previous (albeit morally questionable) decisions were made during a time of war, where the entirety of humanity was on the brink of collapse. And then I'm supposed to believe this demon showed up, taunted him and Arthas just... followed him? Because he was getting irrational?
I'd call that sudden shift from "I'd do anything to protect my kingdom" to "gotta beat up this demon real quick, taking a large army and leaving the northern empire exposed" completely unexpected
Then he got his soul stolen, after which point you can hardly blame him for anything that happens
