Absolutely incredible voice actor. His voice immediately brings me back to my younger days playing D1 and D2 and listening to him tell stories about the world. I was also fortunate enough to work with him a few years back and on a personal level he is so kind and approachable. Very down to Earth and just an awesome person and a pleasure to work with. I really hope we see him in D4 in some capacity.
I mean the D3 team completely didn't know what they were doing. They killed cain but used his voice after his death to describe lore (e.g. the books of cain that u pick up in the wilderness) It's as if some businessman moron decided, 1 week before game release, that cain needed to die, and the team just came up with some random bullshit and the moron accepted it.
What funeral pyre? Diablo 3 is non-canon, it's some awful fan-fiction that shouldn't have been made and which is to be ignored when thinking about Diablo's actual story.
@@user-uq4gr5nl5o Mistakes happen. And when they do, the smart thing to do is correct them. Correcting the mistake that happened in this case would mean making it clear that D3 isn't canon and not including it when making the story of D4.
Voice of Deckard Cain, we salute you and thank you for one of Diablos best Characters throughtout time :D Maybe Deckard Cain live for ever and never be forgotten.
Every NPC in D1 and D2 had dialogue lines and gossip lines so people could talk about the quests they were on. It gave depth to the storyline and immersion into the game world cus it made you see the events from their perspective. In D3 you had nameless merchants whose sole purpose is to repair your items and sell you potions. I don't even recall if you can talk to the main storyline characters because they were parked wayyyy out of the way.
I stayed a while and listen ( to all decard's dialogs in diablo I, II & II ) Now I can't listen anymore? BS my friend... Get out D3 from cannon line, rename it as Diablo Vista (someone suggested it in comments which is fit perfectly) and make D4 as D3. Also BRING BACK DECKARD CAIN OR I WILL EAT YOUR HEARTS...
I hear you, but Paul Eiding is also master at reading the Diablo lore. He is the narrator in Diablo 1 and also the voice of Aiden the warrior. Really wish they would bring him back for D4.
Deckard Cain, heart of the Diablo series... and they killed him off. I do hope he returns in some capacity for D4 but at least we will see him again in D:I and D2R
Deckard Cain is a vast library of knowledge on all things and holds priceless knowledge on how to defeat the Prime Evils. Act 1 of Diablo 4 will have us resurrecting Cain in some form (whether that's a spirit or a zombified head etc.) because he holds knowledge on how to defeat Diablo. Mark my words.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! ❤️ This is why UA-cam was created! For all the YEARS I've been playing D2 - D3, (and salivating for D4), I've always wondered who was the voice actor for Cain! ABSOLUTE PROPS, sir for the decades of enjoyment I've received from your being a part of this game! 👍🤗❤️
I have stayed, for 25 years. Sanctuary is my home. Deckard Cain is my guide. I haven't been this excited for a game...well, since Diablo 2 was first released.
Caring a lot about the character you are playing, and putting in a lot of effort, really translates through and fans notice and appreciate it. Deckard is such a genuine character, and there is something wholesome about the character.
I wish Deckard was my grandfather! I would love to stay a while and listen his stories! Best character ever!!! For me, Deckard Cain is still alive, at least in my heart he is!
An amazing character and the best guide a player could ask for. In Diablo death matters much less than it should. I am confident we will stay a while and listen again.
Most iconic voice and character in Diablo. Mr. Identify ;) oh how he has worked overtime for me since D1. Would be epic to see him resurrected as well in D4.
Deckards voice and character was always a light in the darkness that is the diablo series. One of the most important voices in gaming in my humble opinion. I hope they bring him into diablo 4 somehow.
My wife and I played D2 a lot years ago. The only name for a kid we could ever both agree on was Deckard. D3 was a very sad end to Deckard Cain, but our son is now two years old. At story time we tell him to, "Stay a while and listen."
Michael Gough, also known for the legendary quote "Hey you, you're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there."
Is that the same voice actor? That's crazy, I would never recognize that. Also quite crazy how one voice actor has two of the most memorable and well known quotes in gaming, from two different games as well.
I stayed a while and listened, I will always love the old man... come on grandpa, the best place for a vacation is Skovos, sand, beach, hot blondes (amazons) and sea monsters 🤣
If they told him to do the entire interview as Deckard I am sure he would have because you could just hear him wanting to so bad he could scream. You can tell he really loves Deckard and he put his heart and soul into crafting his amazing voice.
we stayed a while and listend for 20 years ... and we still listening .... so hyped for D2 resurrected.
"The world needs Deckard Cain now and forever"
I cried when deckard cain died as i would always listen to his gossip
cringe
More excited for D2 Resurrected than D4.
Can wait to have my immortal king barbarian!
Just saw this for the first time...kinda bowled over by the response. Thanks to any and all who stayed awhile...and listened!
No sir, thank-you!
Thank YOU for all your work.
Thank you for giving us such a memorable character.
Thank u, Sir. For being a huge part of my childhood (my teen years), whereby I would go for LAN parties a lot to play D2, with my classmates. :)
One of the most recognizable voices in gaming to date. The perfect voice for an old, wise storyteller.
Absolutely incredible voice actor. His voice immediately brings me back to my younger days playing D1 and D2 and listening to him tell stories about the world.
I was also fortunate enough to work with him a few years back and on a personal level he is so kind and approachable. Very down to Earth and just an awesome person and a pleasure to work with.
I really hope we see him in D4 in some capacity.
Down to Mars
Wow, hey thank you Tyler, much appreciated!
I am worried about that he is just an actor in a theatre. And nothing more will be there after preorder.
Ghost Deckard in D4 confirmed.
Bring this guy back blizzard! We need more Decardness!
Deckard Cain was KILLED by butterflies in 2012. RIP.
But his funeral cutscene was SO FREAKING EPIC!!!
I'm a few hours into these Blizzcon things but this is the only one that made me smile a little. The voice of Cain really takes me back.
I will go to my grave with his voice in my head.
Lay a while, in Tristram.
I hope it's real soon.
@@williamluca8640 clever girl
Thanks bub.
Pffff
Such an iconic character. He has never left or faded from my imagination since playing D1 as a kid.
I still cannot believe they killed Deckard Cain! And what a stupid death!
The proof that the absolute wrong people worked on D3.
hes returnign in D4 dont worry, D3 is gonna be like a alternate universe at this point
@@ethdsththwethr7220 I hope you are right

Yes, it was only a cartoon after all...
wrong

Deckard Cain has the same impact as Optimus Prime.. voices and characters that never die.. even when the cease to exist....
Voice of Deckard Cain, we salute you and thank you for one of Diablos best Characters throughtout time :D Maybe Deckard Cain live for ever and never be forgotten.
I use to love playing D2 and just listening to Deckard Cain tell the story i'd never rush to the next act i wanted to enjoy it. Amazingly talented VA.

The only time I care about lore is when Deckard Cain reads it out to me
Dear God. Can you imagine having him tell you (as a small boy) a bedtime story? You`d never sleep again. LOL
I stayed a while and listen ( to all decard's dialogs in diablo I, II & II ) Now I can't listen anymore? BS my friend...

This man brought back my fondest childhood memories. I generally don’t like Blizzard, but this time - I’m beyond grateful for these clips about D2.
Deckard Cain, heart of the Diablo series... and they killed him off. I do hope he returns in some capacity for D4 but at least we will see him again in D:I and D2R
What an amazing voice, you are incredibly Mr. Gough and thank you for unforgettable memories. Cain will never be forgotten.
Uau. Deckard is a legend. In D1 e D2, he is a safe port for those who seek danger and treasure. I hope see him again in D4 somehow.
LONG LIVE DECKARD CAIN!
Hope he comes back to D4, we will stay and listen on 👍🏻
Bro I hate to be the one to tell you, but he’s kinda dead
They do have ghosts and stuff
@@Pizzoots haha not for long?

He's probably coming back as a force ghost in D4.
Who are you?
I'm Rey
Rey who?
Reyckard Cain
we can also just pretend D3 never happened and then he's still alive :)
knowing how SW went with those, that would be "farce ghost" :(
Every video I encountered: Listened half way through and moved on to next video
This video: Stayed and listened until the end
yeah and even wanted MORE!!!! live long and prosper Deckard Cain.. oh wait
I wish Deckard was my grandfather! I would love to stay a while and listen his stories! Best character ever!!! For me, Deckard Cain is still alive, at least in my heart he is!
I had no idea how much I needed this video in my life...
Amazing voice and actor! Genius! Thank you, Michael and Blizzard!
Oh my god this voice has been part of my life for so long. No it finally has a real face.
Amazing!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
It was a pleasure to meet (the actor) Deckard Cain out of the game !!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Goosebumps and nostalgia tears. Thank you.
An amazing character and the best guide a player could ask for. In Diablo death matters much less than it should. I am confident we will stay a while and listen again.
I wish this man would narrate the Bible. I'd listen every day!
You are a special part of my childhood, thank you sir!
I had the biggest, most stupid grin on my face watching this.
Thanks for that.
What a legend. So good to put a face to the icon after 20 years of, "stay a while and listen."
watching this video with my eyes closed gave me chills. it put me right back in rogue encampment. there will be no greater game than Diablo 2.
Yes Deckard, I'm listening and will always will...
This is so amazing!! This is by fsr the best video I've seen all month and made me so happy
I always tried to speak like Cain, and almost all the characters and dialogue from D1.
I am overburdened
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YE!?
Since my childhood until now I stayed a while and listened. I will gladly do it again for D2 Resurrected.
Michael Gough aka Deckard Cain..... *LEGEND!*
Love this voice you brought to life through the characther Deckard Cain. Welldone Michael!
That background soundtrack of Tristram. Man, it brings back so much memories... I'd just stayed in town to listen to that track.
Lately I've played Skyrim tens of hours so I hear him everywhere. Never realised before that he is voice of Deckard Cain!
Been playing this since I was a teenager. Deckard is the man.
Most iconic voice and character in Diablo. Mr. Identify ;) oh how he has worked overtime for me since D1. Would be epic to see him resurrected as well in D4.
gotta say his voice for deckard had always been great and is iconic to me idk if any other VA could fill that role
You will never part my memories Deckard Cain. You will always live on through us.
This is just pure nostalgia
The D1 music will follow me to death. One of the best game music ever made.
And Deckard Cain needs to be resurected.
Amazing work, interpretation and voice. Hope to hear more in D4!!!
I could listen to him read the phonebook and it'd be entertaining from beginning to end.
Michael Gough is such a treasure.
Deckards voice and character was always a light in the darkness that is the diablo series. One of the most important voices in gaming in my humble opinion. I hope they bring him into diablo 4 somehow.
Pleeease bring Deckard Caine back :) What is Sanctuary/Diablo without him?
hearing him saying stay a while and listen was enough for me to click on thumbs up.
wow. what a video. thank you so much for this!
My wife and I played D2 a lot years ago. The only name for a kid we could ever both agree on was Deckard. D3 was a very sad end to Deckard Cain, but our son is now two years old. At story time we tell him to, "Stay a while and listen."
I'm always ready to stay awhile and listen sir!
This was the best part of Blizzcon.
amazing.. one of my favorite characters of all time.. stay awhile and listen
What a legend.
Memories of being on the train going to college and playing Diablo 2 and hearing his voice...
This guy is a LEGEND!!!
Those memories after I heard his voice its just WOW.
I'd like to believe that by Dying in D3 he became more powerful than we could possibly imagine
Archangel Cain :)
Deckard Cain would forever be in our hearts
Everyone’s talking about “Stay awhile and listen!”
But I’ll always remember “Good to see you!”
But now its "Stay awhile and give me euros"😂😂😂

Hearing him talk like this, ijust realised he is also every dudes voice in skyrim
I thought the character was voiced by Sean Connery when I was a kid playing Diablo on my PC. Love to hear that was the inspiration!!!
I stayed and listened for more than just awhile.
Deckard Cain is equal parts Sean Connery and Patrick Stewart. I love that character, and I love trying to make impressions of him.
I do listen. For about 5,000 hours into the game.
Critical Role's Diablo One-shot gave a head nod to Deckard in the introduction...it was awesome to hear Deckard's voice once again
Who's gonna tell him that he's dead and Leah, the one he was in charge of, is the new Diablo?
The most epic NPC killed by a random butterfly lady...Nice job D3, nice job ! /s
D3 is not canon for true fans.

@@TheZorak420 most epic npc? Wtf
Absolute AWESOME voice skills! It´s really amazing! I always wished that Cain somehow returns! Diablo without Cain is not Diablo somehow.
Did anyone else want him to speak Cain from start to finish?
So awesome! i was smiling all along watching this video :)
Huh, he didn't look like I thought he would. Interesting. Hyped for D2R!
yes yes yes that was awesome!Deckard Cain all the way!
The wise Cain was and will be always my favorite character
I stayed a while and listened, I will always love the old man...
come on grandpa, the best place for a vacation is Skovos, sand, beach, hot blondes (amazons) and sea monsters 🤣
Wow thats cool! but i hope the old man can dodge those strafe arrows when those so called Amazons are not satisfied😂😂😂
@@darksaintblue1024 Beats Areat. nowhere to get a proper rest
Deckard's voice makes me feel good inside.
I guess Blizzard has finally redeemed itself from 2019 Blizzcon.
You thinking of 2018 blizzcon. 2019 blizzcon was crazy with diablo 4, overwatch 2 and shadowlands announced.
We shall see. We only found out Warcraft 3 Refunded was a shitshow only when it launched. I'm hopeful for Resurrected, but still sceptical.
Not yet...
You think *this* qualifies as redemption? Good grief; no wonder the industry is in tatters.

the video i always wanted, thank you!
He really transforms when speaking as Cain. His voice shakes, but he tremors slightly as well.
When games where still good and made with passion, ty Deckard and D1.
cain got killed by a butterfly but survived demons forever
makes sense
Great, as a fan of the diablo series, I'll enjoy it.
Decard cain.. *_I told Marcus I'd protect him. And now he's dead_*
The first Diablo will forever be with me
THIS!!!...
...is the best voice of the game :D
