Oh yeah, i have vivid memories of that.
See, in the first part of the game, you played as Arthas, a royal little asshole with an ego the size of Dallas who eventually turns evil and does some awful shit. At that part, you level up normal.
Then in the expansion pack, you start leveling backwards, losing power and abilities as you go. But there's an important narrative reason for that: the source of your power is breaking apart, so it's not just a gameplay mechanic, you're *actually* getting weaker in terms of story too. By the end, you regain all your powers and save your power source.
The characters in this game are apparently supposed to be deities, so i guess it could make sense here too, like "as they venture away from their godly homeland, they become more mortal - losing their power."
However, the million dollar question isn't so much "can they justify it in the plot?" as "can they make it fun?
