Will Deckard Cain Die?

Re: Will Deckard Cain Die?

I hope he dies at then end of the game, somehow killed by Diablo, but before the expansion.

I remember playing D2 when and killing Diablo for the first time, only to find out that Baal was back at the end and i was very excited to play the expansion just to see what would happen. I hope they bring Diablo into the last section of Diablo 3 and then we have to wait to get the expansion to kill Diablo. I love that waiting, it gets me very excited once im really into the plot xD

well a Diablo game wouldnt be much of a diablo game is the namecarrier himself wouldnt be in it. I wouldnt mind a return of the other big baddies in some way or reference (mephisto and baal, or even izual). But... here's to having the hope that Blizzard will be able to surprise us all. cheers

Re: Will Deckard Cain Die?

. . . But there is one line in an NPC text, Warriv's, that is overlooked by a LOT of people. here it is;

"Months ago, I came across a few survivors from Tristram. They said that Cain had gone half-mad and could no longer distinguish fact from fantasy. "

So how come he is suddenly so sane and wise in our quests, survived everything thrown at him during D2 (while he didnt do anything in D1), and managed to gain the trust of everything and everyone? (save for Charsi, who is creeped out by him).

You may have something there. I don't remember Warriv saying that, but I've played the game so many times I often ignore the NPC remarks, either skipping through them, or avoiding them entirely.

PS "Deckard McCain" is not coming back because no one voted for him!

But if Cain dies then who will I stay awhile and listen to? Who will tell me that I have quite a treasure there in my horadric cube? =O

I can't say any of the things OP suggested really give any idea that Cain would die but I don't doubt Blizz may do it. We'll have to wait and see.

I don't think he is going to be killed, Tyrael even sworn to protect him from any harm(Act IV gossip). In my opinion the biggest threat to Cain is his age.

Another thing he is a sage not a warrior or a spellcaster. If I remeber correctly he even says he always led a scholarly life when you rescue him, and thus his knowledge is what makes him impotant, to which usually nobody ever listens.

What if Cain actually do turn out to be evil? If you have to fight him, will Tyrael keep his promise? Is it even possible for someone of his nature to break a vow? If not, you might have to kill both Tyrael and Cain. And that would be 100% pure awesome.

Re: Will Deckard Cain Die?

That would be awesome, yeah. But I find it much more possible that Tyrael will turn evil...And Cain will die somehow...Of age perhaps...would be about time xD
Or maybe he was a zombie all along...

Re: Will Deckard Cain Die?

Like MichelRPG, maybe Cain was killed and replaced by a doppleganger. IMO, it would be a cool storyline if Asmodan himself possessed Cain's body while he was trapped in teh cage and decided to aid the "hero" of D2 in hopes of starting a new Dark Exile. In that case, Asmodan's wishes were all carried out since the hero killed all three prime evils; for a time that is..mabye now all hail ASMODAN??!?

Re: Will Deckard Cain Die?

I think it is more likely that we will get to fight Cain in a secret level, like the Cow Level. They already started goofing around with Cain with the archivist and all that. Just imagine, you enter this ancient mysterious library and then you hear in an evil Cain voice: "YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED AWHILE AND LISTENED!" and well... you can imagine the rest.

I can imagine something worse... imagine a hundred cains slowly walking up to you, all of them saying "stay a while and listen!"

actually that would be funny as hell.

Re: Will Deckard Cain Die?

I just read all these post, and i got to say there is some hate. althought the thing about the soj's i never gonna let that old man id my unique rings anymore, the last one he gave me was a darwf ring, i was so mad. if Cain is hording the soj's nextime i wont save him.

Anyways cain being evil, i dont see that at all, annoying - very much so. If any one is evil and corrupted it is defantly the angel. sometihing about his glowing says "I will kill you!"

i hope the secrete cain level was just a bad joke...

 

[MichelRPG]

Re: Will Deckard Cain Die?

that explains it! If cain is indeed Azmodan in disguise, he fears the coming of the Dclone! Thats why he steals all our Sojs! (honestly, I must have found more dwafstars, nagelrings, manalds, and ravenfrosts in my years of playing D2 than I can count for. I found every single piece of unique jewelry, and with the exception of atmas and Metalgrid, at least TWICE. But a Soj? Nuuuu..... bastard).

Re: Will Deckard Cain Die?

Ok i am jumping on the bandwagon, i have restarted to play D2 again about 2-3 weeks ago and found so many manalds and nagel rings, if i found another one in the nest year it would be too soon. but i found 2 unique rings last night since i was home, and because of the rumor that Cain steals the sojs, i used a scroll instead. first ring was an SOJ, the first one i ever found and the second one was almost p ravenfrost, only 1 dex and 1 ar off so close.

SO DECKARD CAIN MUST DIE!!!
