@JKM2468 I always interpreted it as Arthas was desperately seeking a means to save the rest of his people and that desperation allowed the Frostmourne to influence him and turn him "properly" evil. He has a point in that there should always be "the third option" and Arthas should have pursued that, but he was not truly evil the moment he decided to cull the population of Stratholme since they would have been turned into zombies anyway... The lesson of Arthas' campaign is that zealotry is bad because it can be exploited easily by the enemies if they know how to be subtle. Not that great sacrifice isn't needed to save a nation.

@jayhub24 First, that guy wasn't the sole writer for WC3's story, and probably didn't even work on the original level for WC3. Secondly, the people you are talking about who interpret your art for the "wrong" reasons, will do so anyway. John Romero coming out and saying "ackshually guise Doom isnt about mass murdering children" wouldn't have stopped Harris and Klebold from committing Columbine, despite the fact that they liked Doom.
