Honestly, I'm a bit tied with words when it comes to introducing myself, but what the heck. I'll give it a try.
I'm 21, turning 22 this year.
Been a Diablo fan since I was 9 years old and still had pigtails.
Possibly turned weird because of Diablo, losing the pigtails and gaining more of a grudge effect. Which I later replaced for a more 'world-friendly' effect and thus I began working.
Finished a degree in creative writing. Just started a course to become a game ranger.
1: Watched a April Fools Joke clip where Blizzard made Deckard Cain give GPS directions
2: Watched the clip where Cain raps to Jazz music
3: Watched the clip where Cain makes a prank call
4: Watched a clip where some crazy old guy in India thinks he's Cain and gets locked up in a mental institution (that one was actually slightly unnerving)
5: Read about a kid whose name is Deckard Cain Elder
6: Read some of the Book of Cain
7: Got bored of Cain
8: Researched the whole Leah/Diablo thing
9: Posted a topic on it
10: Wanted to play Guild Wars, but then thought of Diablo and went all 'bleh'
11: Downloaded a Tyrael wallpaper and set it up on my desktop
12: Thought there was a new Diablo book out, but found it was just another name for the Book of Cain
13: Finally deleted sims from my pc
14: Debated whether to install SC1
15: Decided against it
16: Considered going to a bar (it's 7pm somewhere)
17: Decided against it
18: Considered studying
19: Decided against that to (it's Sunday)
20: Went to Diablo website and made a Barbarian banner
21: Went to Diablo wiki and read every topic of interest
22: Planted my seeds in bushtarion
23: Just realized how perverted that sounded
24: Tried to make time go by with this post
25: Realized it wasn't working
Beyond that... I downloaded a countdown timer, exactly 28 days, 9 hours, 52 minutes and 5 seconds until the midnight release here in my GMT.
26: Realized the countdown timer only makes it worse v.v
There is no decent way to wait for D3, there just isn't.
Oldest theory in existence about Leah but nice that you have all the sources.
Haven't actually found one yet, perhaps because I was more focused on the Diablo/Leah thing. I'll google some, or perhaps if someone can give me a link to one? I would like to read their points on this as well.
I haven't actually read up enough on the relation between Aidan and Adria, however, enough is known to me that Leah is their daughter - as recently revealed.
The reason for stating the obvious is that it's relevant to my post. Right. So moving on. How old is Leah really?
Judging from her age in the clips I'd say she's anything from 18 - 24, I highly doubt she's under eighteen due to body structure and general 'intelligence' level in the game. (But who knows?)
Apparently these events occur 20 years AFTER the Diablo 2 world. Which means Diablo was in possession of Aidan’s body about the time she was conceived. As stated in the wiki with this line “She was conceived a few days after Diablo's "defeat" in the catacombs beneath Tristram.”
Beyond that, they say also it took Diablo about two days to take control over Aidan’s body, but that might just be fanciful theories. However, if it true, a ‘few’ days is definitely not ‘2’ days.
So What if 'Aidan' wasn't the father, but the 'Diablo' version of Aidan is. Thus that would count as demon spawn in a sense of the word.
I know there's a lot of speculation about Diablo being female (possessing a female, popular speculation being Leah), but what if that female artwork isn't Diablo? But instead a corrupted Leah.
I also know it's farfetched, but there was art meshes (?) leaked about her where's she's pale and her eyes sort of look like they have a yellow sheen to them.
What if she transforms into that being at some point? Becomes the main enemy.
I say this for three reasons.
1: Her visions could be because of her 'demonic' link to the burning hells, such as seeing the battle between the angels and demons.
2: The vision of 'Diablo' in the opening cinematic doesn't appear slender; it appears much bulkier than the art of the 'female' version.
3: Blizzard has been extremely sensitive about Diablo 3 and everything contained within, they're trying really hard to make the game comfortable for both newcomers and diehard fans. I don't know about you but if Diablo becomes a 'female' in the game I'll be sorely disappointed and will most likely be 'put-off'. I also know if I was not a die-hard fan and a newcomer the idea of a female/shemale Devil will be a bit humerous; it wouldn't be appealing to me.
Blizzard is also very secretive about the theories of people. They are not willing to admit Diablo becomes female, nor to discredit it. This COULD mean that either direction would give away the story.
If they say YES it is, then well…lots of boo’s and bah’s I imagine and then people will be more on the ‘Leah get’s possessed side’.
If they say NO, then people will start looking in THIS direction, which is, in my opinion, more likely.
Because of these reasons I find it plausible.
I haven’t fully read the Book of Cain yet, mainly because I’m waiting for my hardcopy to arrive, so in the meantime I’m reading an e-book; but I’m sure there’s references in it regarding something like this. Or at least subtle hints.
Because…GOD forbid, I will NOT believe Diablo becomes a chick. NO! I’d rather stretch all visuals of him so that he looks like a bulky dude. I like the male Diablo and he should stay that way and I’m sure a lot of people prefer it that way.
The links to everything I referenced to is below, don’t look if you don’t want to spoil something and don’t blame me if you do.
I also know this was briefly discussed in this thread:

:/ Still weird, just learned to hide it.
That's about it.
Nice to meet you all
