Is Deckard Cain really dead?

[Dr Super Good]

During Act 1 Magda mortally wounds Deckard Cain leading to his death. In the end Act cinimatics it is shown that they are giving Deckard Cain a funeral.

However how does that explain this?!

On the left we can clearly see Deckard Cain, alive and well. Below him is Leah who is mourning his death. The quest status is proof of this.

The only conclusion is that Deckard Cain did not really die and only pretended to die. He replaced his "corpse" with a dummy and no one bothered to check around town for him standing in plain sight. Deckard Cain is very shy after his fake death and will quickly disappear into his now locked house if one tries to talk to him.

I believe this is a site bug... Not even I can see what I uploaded due to a lack of permission.

In the mean time here is a temporary pastebin link...

Magda's magic caused paralysis. (clearly shown from him falling to the ground, struggling to move) While on his way to be cremated the effects subsided, he promptly thought of the town's zombie crisis, and feared he would be deemed a 'walking dead' by the towns people. Leah staged the cremation and tried to lock him in the house. Cain's old age and recent stress caused him to forget the reason of why he was in the house. Bored and wondering where Leah is, he walks outside; unwilling to talk to you as he doesn't remember any of the recent events - like who you are.

Here is even more proof of his lack of death (actually just a better screenshot of the bug).

You're talking to leah right? or did you click cain?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Leah, just after Cain was meant to have died. I was hovering over Cain as proof that it really is Deckard Cain and not some twin.

 

[Xian]

What happens when you click cain?

 

[Squiggles]

People still play this game?

I thought everyone already quit because it was a let down.

 

[Dr Super Good]

It was? Most people seem to be of the opposite opinion. I see a lot of people with 200+ hours.

I think he will get revived in a future expansion.

Diablo 3 is pretty fun, my cousin experienced this same bug as well though so you're not alone

 

[Dr Super Good]

It happens 90% of the time...

More poor scripting work

More poor scripting work

Actually it was a minor bug introduced in one of the patches. It did not exist in the release version and is now fixed as well.

The bug was pathing related, nothing to do with script. He would get pinned against a wall because Tyrael blocked him.

In a next expansion, an undead-looking Cain...

- Stay a while and listen, my friend.
- Cain! You live?!
- Oh, Maghda was merely a setback.
